Circus Circus has been a dump for a long time.

What do people expect for a hotel that charges $25 a night?

When I worked in Vegas for a couple weeks in 1975, it seemed like a nice place. But my company couldn’t afford it then and I had to settle for an old (but clean) mom & pop motel on the strip.

Circus Circus used to have an excellent steakhouse. Do they still?

Right, we stayed at Circus Circus back in the 80’s and it was bad back then.

A little more than $1 an hour.

I'm sure many of the rooms are rented by the hour.

You would think Las Vegas would have health and safety inspections

Nothing new with Circus Circus. A few years ago, I stayed there for a night and got bedbugs.

The Imperial Palace was usually my place of choice in my single days because my room was often comped. That place was an even bigger dump than Circus Circus, but I never got bedbugs there.

They say it’s $25 a night, but when you add the “resort” fee, it’s probably comes out to $80 or so.

Seems like basic economics to me.

I believe that the US has a great shortage of cheap housing. I mean affordable houses. I mean affordable apartments. And I guess I would also throw in affordable hotels in Las Vegas.

Why aren’t things affordable?

At least sometimes it’s because someone gets their knickers in a bunch complaining about dirty sheets, falling tiles and lines at the elevator. OK, OK, We can fix those problems. Your room will now be $200 a night, and clean sheets are guaranteed.

Is that a good fix? Do we absolutely require nice things? Some people really cannot afford “nice things”. They don’t have $200 a night for a hotel. They have — let’s say — $25 a night for a hotel. And it’s going to be a crappy hotel. Maybe they find that acceptable.

But if you get all upset about it, you will take away their $25 a night hotel. And then where will they be?

We ought to make it acceptable to be crappy. That is a kind of freedom too.

I would be leary of the croutons, good or not!

I stayed in CC in Reno for a couple of hours before deciding I couldn’t stay there and then went back to my previous more expensive hotel. Brought home bedbugs anyway. ICK!

What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas.

"The Circus-Circus is what the whole hep world would be doing Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war. This is the sixth Reich. The ground floor is full of gambling tables, like all the other casinos... but the place is about four stories high, in the style of a circus tent, and all manner of strange County-Fair/Polish Carnival madness is going on up in this space.”

-- Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

But it’s cheap!

Working on-site for a client in Huntsville Al I asked a guy sitting near me to recommend a restaurant. He named an Italian place. I said ‘so, they’ve got good food?’. He said it’s not that great, but they served really big portions.
