I haven't been to Circus Circus since I was around 5 years old, that is like 40 years ago!!! But since we were staying at the Conrad, Circus Circus was the hotel next door, so Jared and I walked over. It took quite a while about 10 minutes. Circus Circus looks so run down, they probably didn't do any upgrades since it opened in 1968. I was telling Jared all my memories from the place, but since it was so long ago I may have messed up some details.
I remember when I was a boy, my dad gave me $20 to spend at the Midway. At that time that was the most money I've seen. Today $100 will get you quite a bit of credits to play games at the midway. Jared seemed excited playing the claw game. I actually won 500 tickets on his first attempt and ended up winning more stuffed animals.
After about 1 hour, we left and Jared seemed content.
The next day I met Jessica and Gemma at Circus Circus. It was raining hard outside and the hotel started leaking water especially the Adventuredome area. It was very hazardous as kids were enjoying themselves at Adventuredome. Unfortunately, the rain closed some rides and so Gemma and Jessica could only ride certain rides.
The very next day I wanted to redeem the tickets. Malia and I went to the Midway. We got lucky as I won the ring toss and Malia won another big stuffed animal. One of the mangers were so amazed that I won the ring toss that he announced it and gave me the ring.
