In-Depth Information
The most family-friendly of the bunch, Circus Circus has free circus acts to entertain kids
beneath a giant, candy-striped big top, which also harbors a gazillion carnival and video
games that look awfully similar to slot machines.
Silver Legacy
CASINO
A Victorian-themed place, the Silver Legacy is easily recognized by its white landmark
dome, where a giant mock mining rig periodically erupts into a fairly tame sound-and-light
spectacle.
Eldorado
CASINO
The Eldorado has a kitschy Fountain of Fortune that probably has Italian sculptor Bernini
spinning in his grave.
Harrah's
CASINO
Founded by Nevada gambling pioneer William Harrah in 1946, it's still one of the biggest
and most popular casinos in town.
Atlantis
CASINO
