Circus Circus becomes the only Strip venue offering bingo and coin-operated slots
Five weekly sessions begin at 3pm from Thursday to Sunday
Cash prizes range from $50 to $1,500 per game 

Circus Circus Las Vegas has opened a traditional bingo hall alongside an expanded coin-operated slot machine area, becoming the only property on the Las Vegas Strip to offer both formats.

The hall accommodates up to 255 players per session and operates five sessions per day from Thursday through Sunday. Each session includes 14 games played using paper cards and ink daubers, with prizes paid in cash.

General Manager Shana Gerety said: “There’s never been a better time to bring bingo back to the Las Vegas Strip. The property is honoring the classic Las Vegas experience guests have always loved, while adding modern touches.”

Players can purchase a full-session package for $30, with additional cards available. Individual game payouts begin at $50 and can reach $1,500.

The launch forms part of a broader renovation effort focused on restoring a traditional casino atmosphere at the resort. Updates include gaming floor refurbishment, refreshed food outlets and expanded activity offerings across the property’s entertainment areas. Access to the bingo hall is limited to guests aged 21 and over. 

Circus Circus also expanded its coin-operated slot floor, complementing its existing Slots-A-Fun gaming area. Gerety said the additions aim to provide ‘fun, affordable experiences.’

The venue occupies more than 101,000 square feet of gaming space and includes nearly 4,000 guest rooms, along with entertainment facilities such as the Adventuredome indoor theme park.

Elsewhere in Las Vegas, Downtown properties owned by Derek Stevens introduced an “At Par” program in January 2026, allowing Canadian visitors to spend Canadian dollars at equal value to US currency across gaming, hotel and food services.
