Las Vegas KOA at Circus Circus REVIEW

While in Vegas we stayed at The Las Vegas KOA at Circus Circus.


Value 3/5
It was expensive as we wanted a grass site for the girls. We booked this site before leaving to ensure we had a space and wanted grass for the girls which cost us $70.00 a night! Yikes expensive!!! However we were right n the strip and didn't have to worry about parking. (Friends of ours stayed just off the strip in a hotel for $50 a night)

Site Quality 3.5/5
The pavement was starting to deteriorate and made it a bit un level. Full service with a grass area which also has a patio table and chairs. We were given a site with an electrical box and promptly asked to move. If I am paying for grass...I want to be able to use it. We moved with no problems at all.

Facility fun 4/5
There is a fair size pool, hot tub, 2 saunas, playground, wifi, small store, and video games area for older kids, pet playground and dog wash. We thought for a family campground they could have had an Easter egg hunt for the kids but they didn't.

Natural Surrounding 2.5/5
I know I know...right on the strip...what do I expect! There were numerous mature trees, and grassy places but you had to pay about $15 more per night to have grass at your site. Some are shared sites where 2 RV's share the common grass area and some have a large corner area like we had.

Bathrooms 4/5
All code locked and clean.

Staff 4/5
Helpful and friendly staff.

Location 5/5
If you want to be on the strip then you can't get a better location then this. You are minutes away from the strip and it's endless entertainment. Close to nearby shopping, Hoover Damn and much more! In North Vegas there is a HUGE area for quadding and dirtbiking for  those of you interested. We didn't bring our Quad but if we come this way again...we will!

Overall 3.5/5
I still find the price we paid here hard to swallow but overall this is a fantastic location in you want to camp on the stip. They also have a couple of tent sites and I think airstreams to rent for the night if you want a camping experience while staying on the strip. Laundry was $1.50 per load wash and or dry.


Our site froom the road, over looking the grass site

Our site from the next site

Playground with nice shade cover and for use from 2-12 years
Dog playground

Hot tub and two saunas

Pool with lots of shade and seating

View to show the majority of sites with no grass


Very close to the strip and traffic but it was surprisingly quiet.
The helicopter tours were the loudest but not too much of a bother.

  1. $70..ouch!!..looks like a typical KOA..but the spots without grass?..more like a 'parking lot'!!

  2. I agree Sue...not where I prefer to park but sometimes we have to bite the bullet and the grass for the girls was worth the extra $15. Where we are tonight near Camp Verde Arizona (and last night) is FREE and beautiful! We will have many free nights ahead to make up for that horrific $70 a night!
