Vegas Webmasters...I need info !
 

I have a friend that wants to go to Vegas for a trip.
He's planning to stay at the Circus Circus, is it true that it's a rough area to stay ?

Circus Circus is not good place to stay at, too many kids.

I haven't found a "rough" area around any of the casinos. It's all way too crawling with tourists.

That's what I thought too...but for an extra 100-200$ should he get something better ? Like the Excalibur

god no, none of those exalibur is trash

hardrock
palms
mgm
bellagio

then again in vegas he probably wont be in his hotel room much so it really doesnt matter but the circus circus part of vegas is the north / "old" strip... all western and boring

excalibur WOULD be ok I guess but there's nothing really going on there as far as nightlife

He doesn't have a big budget...so an extra 200$ per person makes a big difference for him.
So I thhink that getting a "decent" room is fair...night life won't be at the circus circus anyways !

If he's just looking for "decent", I would recommend something like the Imperial Palace. I've stayed there before, not fancy at all, decent would best describe it, but it's closer to some nicer places than Circus Circus is if he's planning on walking around to other casinos.

But if he wants to stay at Circus Circus, it isn't a rough area.

try the tropicana then

cheaper than the excalibur and right across the street

I'll be at the Venetian next week, 3 people in a $380 a night room (Venezia Bella maybe?), each of us ends up paying around $450 for the trip including gas.

Best bet it to stay in a place closer to Tropicana. Excalibur and the Tropicana arent bad for the price

Zoe is correct.
