Super dirty casino that seems more than a flea market than a hotel. Have to walk through it to get to the buffet.  Buffet kind of like an Old Country Buffet experience.  The food was ok, mac and cheese great.  As expected lots of families with kids, so it was kind of noisy and chaotic.  After visiting some of the other venues on the strip, Circus Circus seemed a bit outdated.  If you are looking for food  and don't really care about the atmosphere, or quality go for it.  We were pretty desperate, and the variety filled us up. I must say, the cleanliness of the place exceeded my expectations.
