Fodor's Expert Review Circa Resort & Casino
8 Fremont St., Las Vegas, Nevada, 89101, USA Fodor's Choice
Downtown's newest big hoo-hah comes from Downtown's newest big pooh-bahs—the brothers Stevens, owners Derek and Greg—and provided a major boost to the Vegas aesthetic when it opened in 2020; it's also the first Downtown hotel built from the ground up since the 1980s. Since Vegas is all about superlatives, Circa is the latest raise in the Vegas hotel poker game, offering 777 rooms in its hotel tower; a two-story casino; a three-story sports book; six bar/lounges; five restaurants; a "stadium-style" six-tier pool, including swim-up bars and a 135-foot-high screen for televised sports events; and a "Garage Mahal" parking structure. The only thing not allowed here (besides kids) is the modest old expression, "Less is More."
PROS
- world's biggest sports book
- a pool "amphitheater" that defies the imagination
- the cachet of being Las Vegas's latest hot spot
CONS
- you haven't experienced noise until you've heard it in here
- long lines to show driver's license for proof of age for admittance (including some guests who could have flashed an AARP card instead)
- no bedside plugs to charge phones in rooms
