I really think that that hotel is about 2 be destroyed
its so old.. its kinda ugly too and its between 2 new expensive hotels and in front of wynn..
I really think its just a matter of time or business fot that hotel to be taken down..
what do you think?

Although it has been old and ugly since the day it opened, it is a Las
Vegas icon, and I personally would hate to see it go. Besides, nobody wants to build any new hotels now, and that's about the only reason to tear one down.

I think you don't know what you're talking about...starting with the fact that Circus Circus is about 3/4 mile from Wynn, not in front of it.

During the boom MGM was quite open about how they had no plans to demo Circus Circus and considered it an asset to the company. I don't see why that would be any different now.

They broke ground on that in 2005 though. We're talking about a whole different world now.

Tis true, but they forged ahead two years after the meltdown and still opened hiring somewhere in the neighborhood of 4500 people, so nothing is impossible..

and w/o a bailout I might add

I work for an MGM property and from what I hear, Circus Circus is doing very well. With all the trendy, high-class, luxury properties going up on the strip, the lower end niche is rather underrepresented. Plus, there is no personality in these cold, cookie-cutter, ultrachic resorts. In talking to lots of guests, I gather that people are again longing for the fun, highly-themed, lower-class debaucherous casinos that vegas is famous for.

Clearly, the whole luxury style only sprang up during the economic boom when everyone had a home equity loan and were pretending to be rich and classy. That style is no longer relevant to the vast majority of tourists. The luxury casinos are already outdated remnants of a bygone era.

Call me low class, but even with that nauseating pink carpet, I'd much rather party and gamble at Circus Circus than I would City Center.

I agree! If I wanted high end luxury I would go to Manhattan. It is ok to have a few, but I sure hope they don't go that way with all of them! I like cheesy Vegas!

I don't know why but Circus Circus is still packed on the weekends, I do not think it is going anywhere.
