Circa rises at the western end of the Fremont Street Experience, giving guests direct access to downtown casinos, bars, live music, and the pedestrian mall. Opened in 2020, it combines old Las Vegas references with the scale and technology of a newer Strip resort. The entire property is restricted to guests age 21 and older, including the hotel and pool, so it is designed for adult trips rather than family vacations.
The resort has 777 rooms and suites, with standard king rooms measuring a spacious 439 square feet. Double King rooms use two full king beds instead of the more common queen-bed layout, a practical advantage for groups. Rooms have refrigerators, dual vanities, walk-in showers, and a polished retro-modern design; suites add living rooms, bars, dining areas, and broad views of downtown or the valley.
Circa's casino spans two levels and revolves heavily around sports, led by a vast multi-story sportsbook screen and multiple viewing areas. Dining includes Barry's Downtown Prime, 8 East, Saginaw's Delicatessen, Project BBQ, and Victory Burger, while the rooftop Legacy Club supplies cocktails and panoramic views. The resort is lively at virtually all hours, especially on major game weekends.
Stadium Swim is the signature amenity: six temperature-controlled pools on three levels face a 143-foot screen. It operates year-round, with heated pools in winter, and stays open into the evening. The atmosphere is closer to a sports watch party and dayclub than a quiet resort pool; complimentary space can be limited during major events, while cabanas, daybeds, and reserved seating raise the cost.
Circa is ideal for sports fans, groups of adults, downtown enthusiasts, and travelers who want a high-energy resort without commuting from the Strip. It is not a peaceful or inexpensive retreat once food, drinks, resort charges, and reserved pool seating are considered. Guests sensitive to crowd noise or uninterested in sports may prefer a calmer downtown property, but Circa provides the area's most complete modern resort experience.
I recently stayed at Circa in Las Vegas for two nights and it has now become my go-to hotel whenever I visit the city. The staff at Circa are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to ensure their guests have a great experience. It is clear that they prioritize customer service and are well-trained in handling guest requests. Special thanks to Derek Stevens and Mike Palm for creating such a great team culture. I also want to give a shoutout to employees Kelsey, Sydney, Jordan, Richard, and Grayson for making my stay seamless.
I really liked Circa. I’ve stayed in a dozen hotels in Vegas over several years and found this to be one of the best. It was definitely the best value. I love the strip, but Fremont is the place to be. It’s less expensive, less crowded, and still walkable and packed with things to do.
My room was great for the price and since it included one of the best pools in Vegas was a solid value.
I only found fault in two areas: the casino feels a little small and it was hard to get a drink inside, even when the bars weren’t crowded.
Circa in Las Vegas is my favorite spot to stay when I visit the city, and it never disappoints. I've visited six times in the past two years, and each time has been better than the last.
The resort is always immaculate, with great amenities and a friendly staff. My casino host, PB, goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly during my stays. And Tommy, the driver, is always friendly and adds a little something extra to my trips.
I can't wait for my upcoming birthday weekend girls trip at Circa—I know it's going to be another amazing stay!
We were there for the the Vegas Legal Magazine party in Legacy Club and loved it. The location could not have been better. The open air balcony was stunning with fire places and good seating with the most amazing views. I'm assuming they make it hard to find on purpose to keep out the general public because I was shocked how crazy things were down on the street, but yet we were quiet and perfect on top. I highly recommend getting your reservation in for the NEW YEAR'S EVE: SKY HIGH CELEBRATION. I put money on it's one of the best locations to watch the fireworks!
It's my favorite casino in downtown Las Vegas. The sports book is an amazing place to watch a game. A great collection of restaurants. They have the newest slot machines. The Stadium Swim is the awesome...huge collection of pools and a massive TV to watch sports.
My stay at Circa in Las Vegas was fantastic. The end suite I stayed in was great and the service from Stephanie at the front desk was amazing. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The resort had great fun vibes and the pool was impressive. My favorite part of the trip was the sky bar with its amazing views and fire pits. Overall, Circa is a great property.
Circa in Las Vegas is a spectacular hotel and casino! The music in the casino is incredibly loud, possibly the loudest I've ever experienced in a casino, but it really sets the resort apart from others. The upbeat dance music creates a fun atmosphere that I absolutely love. The property is clean, the employees are friendly, and overall it's one of the hippest and coolest casinos I've ever visited. The slots seem to pay out pretty well too. While parking is a bit pricey at $15 for up to an hour, the overall experience was well worth it. I can't wait to go back to this fabulous place!
Circa in Las Vegas is a truly impressive casino. It boasts a range of upscale and unique features that stand out. As the only 21+ venue, ID checks are mandatory upon entry. The property features one of the longest bars, an expansive stadium-seating sportsbook, and arguably the largest TV display at its stadium pool.
Additionally, there's a rooftop lounge perfect for enjoying cigars and drinks outdoors, all while taking in a breathtaking view of the Strip. This lounge maintains an upscale vibe, so appropriate attire is required.
Situated right in the heart of the Fremont Street Experience, its location couldn't be better!
LOVE IT!!! Will definitely return. I booked the room in January, and the concierge worked with me from the start to make my best friend's birthday special. They helped me pick out the room decorations so it was a delightful surprise when we walked in. Olga assisted with transportation to and from the airport, and was incredibly patient despite my numerous calls to ensure everything went smoothly.
Upon arrival, IDs are required as it's a 21+ hotel, which I appreciated. Our room wasn't ready initially, which isn't the hotel's fault. The bellhop took our bags and held them for us. The check-in staff informed us we'd receive a text when our room was ready.
The food was good and comparable to NYC prices. The staff at Barry's Downtown Restaurant were excellent, making us feel comfortable right from the start. The meal was amazing. Olga also arranged for a slice of cake for my best friend's birthday, which is not a regular service they offer, but they accommodated it beautifully.
The pool, with its large sports screen showing various games, was fantastic. The music played spanned different decades. The only drawback was the first day when staff left empty cups and food on the ledge. The bartenders make generous pours, which was a plus.
Housekeeping did a great job tidying our room daily. Richard, a concierge, was polite and helpful in answering all my questions and concerns. The valets were terrific and didn't seem to be solely focused on tips.
Located off the Old Vegas strip, the hotel's atmosphere was vibrant every night. The legacy club offered a personal touch, with staff providing exceptional service.
Circa in Las Vegas is a beautiful hotel located in a less glamorous area of the city. The hotel appears to be fairly new, with a fresh scent throughout the property. The rooms are equipped with high-tech features such as central panel controls for the lights and even an Alexa device for playing music. However, one downside to note is that the shower door handle was quite sharp, resulting in a scratch. It's worth being cautious around it. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that children are not allowed in the casino area, but otherwise, the operation seems to run smoothly without any noticeable differences.
Circa in Las Vegas is a 21 and over hotel, which was a nice change from the usual kid-filled resorts. The pool was fantastic and we were upgraded to a room with a pool view upon check-in, which I highly recommend. However, we were not informed about construction starting on Monday, so we were taken aback by the drilling sounds at 9am. The drilling continued in one of the cabanas during our pool day, which was a bit disruptive.
The escalators to access the pool are quite high and unfortunately, outside drinks are not allowed, so be prepared to pay high prices for beverages. The pool food options were decent and tasty.
When we reached out to the front desk about the noise from the construction, they didn't seem too concerned and didn't offer any solutions, which was disappointing. As a result, I can't give a good service rating.
On a positive note, the bathroom in our room was spacious and the shower had outstanding water pressure. Overall, there were pros and cons to our stay at Circa.
Circa in Las Vegas is probably the best value, upscale place you'll find for your money. The rooms are extremely clean and spacious, with oversized king beds and suites overlooking the pool and Fremont Street. The food, drinks, ambiance, shopping, location, and adults-only atmosphere make it a must-stay in Vegas. The screens for watching sports both inside and outside by the pool area are a highlight. Can't wait to come back every time we visit Vegas.
Downtown was a pleasant change from the strip so we decided to check out the casinos. Parking at the Nugget was still $50 for visitors so we decided to explore other options. Circa required ID for entry and we were impressed by the modernized look of the place. The casino offered plenty of space and ventilation, making it a great smoke-free environment. We found $15 table games and a huge sports area with multiple large screens, perfect for watching the playoffs. Circa is definitely comparable to strip casinos and was a refreshing change of pace. The place was packed and later in the day the minimum bet increased to $25.
This place in the nuts. Great location in the compact downtown area. Far fewer tourist traps around compared to the vast resorts on the strip.
Best of all, there is a mini fridge in each room (without the mini bar). Rare in Vegas.. go downstairs to the ABC store and fill up on cheaper drinks!
Best rooms definitely have the pool view. Noise was not an issue.
Won't stay anywhere else in Vegas again.
This sportsbook was amazing. It was clean with well appointed seating. Paid for the recliners in the legacy club and couldn’t have been happier. All you can eat and drink from 9am- 9pm. Service was excellent. First part of the day was quieter with lots of people but never in the way of the screens. Highly recommend!!!
Didn’t stay in hotel just visited casino. Beautiful casino clearly focused on sports book. Great place to watch the games. Played it $15 blackjack on a Friday night. Server came by regularly. Took a star away for an extremely rude pit boss. He was quite obnoxious and did not hide his contempt for the patrons. Dealers didn’t seem to care for him either.
If you're in Vegas, it's definitely worth going down to old vegas. To check out this resort in casino. It's really big one, and the sports books and t vs was really good. Compared to most other places, they have stadium swim upstairs, which is a lot of fun and great for entertainment, a lot of good marketing opportunities. It was pretty busy during the games which is understandable. Staff and everyone at the place was really friendly, highly recommended.
Enjoyed my stay here during a work trip. Hotel is brand new and has a cool vibe. Even midweek it felt fun. Rooms are large and comfortable. Great shower. Would definitely stay here again if looking to stay off the strip.
The new top dog in Downtown Las Vegas, Circa has everything you need for an awesome Vegas vacation. Modern amenities, classic charm, a clean casino floor and the best pool in Las Vegas are all at your disposal when you stay here. I loved my stay and will definitely be back.
Everything is top-notch and first class. The slots here are super fair - much better than those at the strip casinos. There's lots of delicious food with plenty of choices and the rooms are even more luxurious than those of the strip casinos. The owner is always roaming around, and he's the nicest guy ever! I always thank him whenever I see him for opening up such an incredible place. And let's not forget its sister casinos, The D and The Golden Gate - they're both truly amazing. Every time I come here, I have a blast!
Great experience! Staff is very welcoming, professional and always greets you with a smile and hello! Nice casino and sports book is the best by far! Enjoyed stadium swim during the day(clean pools, staff was awesome, good drinks). Rooms are spacious, very well thought out and great views! Would definitely recommend staying!
A couple of us had always wanted to at Circa, but we had comped rooms at Luxor so it's hard to fork over cash for lodging when you are getting it for free. That being said, we decided to stay here 2 nights of our 5 night trip and it was awesome. The rooms are super clean and the staff was more helpful and faster than any hotel I have ever stayed in. Need towels? They will be at your room in 5 minutes. Of course, Stadium Swim is a great place to spend all day and they have plenty of other bars and restaurants to keep you happy the entire time. I like Fremont Street a lot, but never felt the need to leave Circa. Hopefully I will get some pretty good offers, because this may be my new favorite hotel in Las Vegas.
I am not a huge fan of Fremont Street but got drug down there by some friends and we decided to stop into Circa because none of us had ever been there. I can't speak for the rooms, but the rest of the experience was five stars all the way. Circa is extremely clean, adults only (which is nice because Vegas has a lot more kids these days), and the bars and casino are amazing. I don't watch a lot of sports, but even I could sit in that sportsbook for a couple of hours and take in all the sights. We also stopped at Victory Burger and enjoyed a delicious quick meal.
