Carnival Midway

Fun for the kids. I would say about $40 of credit is enough for 2 kids . Long lines for ticket redemption. Games offered are fun. Fun choices for arcade games. Free circus shows every hour.

Midway at Circus Circus is where you go at Vegas when you have a young child. This place changed quite a bit since I was here the last time. The self park garage 1 & 2 are behind the hotel/casino and only accessible from the side street.The Midway has many carnival games you find at carnivals or county fairs. But Midway has been upgraded to use digital playcards instead of tokens. You have to buy/recharge playcards at kiosks located throughout the Midway. Unfortunately the credit card reader of first 2 kiosks I tried today didn't work and there was no one nearby to offer assistance. It was by trials and errors I found a kiosk that does work. It changes $1 to issue a new playcard. A warning for all: these kiosks do not give cash change so any bill you feed it will be put on playcards and there is no refund for credits not used.Midway still has a live circus act every 30 minutes or so. They also have arcade games. It is jam packed with kids and teenagers today. I wonder how long a typical kid would stay here on any given day.

500th review Alert!!I wanted to pick a cool spot for my 500th review, so I decided on Carnival Midway.The last time I was here, I was a a kid going from game to game blowing through the money my parents gave me . Fast forward to my adult years, and I'm now blowing through MY hard earned money, but it's just as fun.The Midway is located in Circus Circus Hotel & Casino and is a one stop arcade full of carnival games, arcade, games, and daily circus acts.This place no longer takes cash/quarters for the games. You're required to purchase a game card at the kiosk and load it up as needed. In the center of the carnival games area , they have a DQ with plenty of seating. Parking is free

This arcade and theme park complex offers a lot of fun for all ages. From toddlers to adults, there's something enjoyable for everyone. The free shows every hour are entertaining, and the arcade provides a great variety of games. Although I haven't explored the theme park yet, the arcade and shows alone make it worth a visit.However, there are a couple of downsides. The cleanliness of the arcade could use some improvement; many game machines have food pieces and dirt on them, and the carpet is overdue for a change. Additionally, when a machine malfunctions, it can be difficult to find staff to report the issue.Despite these concerns, the overall experience is enjoyable and definitely worth checking out!

10/10! This arcade is fantastic for kids and adults alike. 99% of the games were in working order! They also have carnival style games. I recommend getting the $100 card at the very least.

Still an oldie but a goodie! This is classic Vegas and glad to see it still survive after all these years. Hopefully the new owner will give this place some TLC and give it a bit of a refresh to bring back the luster.The midway is Reno looks a bit cleaner and revamped, though does not have the classic feel of Vegas. The carnival acts still perform, though on a more limited schedule than before. A nice way to pass the time for the kids, since they can often have short attention spans.Some games are easier than others, though be sure not to break the bank to win a small toy worth 5% of what you spent. While the games can be fun and entertaining, the prices have started to creep up and some are not worthwhile based on the difficulty and associated prizes. Be sure to walk around and take a look at all the various games and costs. Lots of kiosks available to purchase a game card, which is releasable and offers some bonuses depending on how much you load.Come here to feel like a kid again and play something that is not a slot machine, and may give you a better shot at actually getting something back for your money.

We enjoyed going to Circus Circus in Vegas! Carnival Midway was fun to play some games and also watch the shows. Unfortunately, since we had gone on a weekday, there weren't as many shows but we watched the trapeze artists perform. If you're coming around, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!If you're wanting more games, then it's worth it to go to the Adventuredome. There isn't a fee to go in, just have to pay for credits to play the games (much cheaper than other spots similar arcades on the strips). Definitely worth your while!

Free shows on the Midway Stage at Carnival Midway. They're located inside Circus Circus Las Vegas.

The redemption store offers amazing prizes like SpongeBob and plush pillow spam for 2000 points. You play to redeem a prize, there's no in-store purchase.

Worth the price of admission.If you're in Vegas and have little ones, they'll love the free entertainment.They'll also want to play a few of the carnival games.If you happen to visit during a weekend l, be prepared for a crowd.It's best to drop in on a weekday if possible. Over the decades I've been here and it always brought back memories of when I was a child. Those were the days. I'll be back for sure as I've got young ones and I'd like to show them all the things I used to do with their uncle.

What a cool place!It's been 11 years since I have been here! The Circus acts....first there was this old confused clown that was "Interesting" I am not a kid so I didn't find him funny but the trapeze artists were AMAZING. Triple somersaults and flying through the air, two and three people at a time. The Midway was clean, not too crowded. The attendants were friendly and fun. I played my favorite games and won several prizes. There were a few places to grab a quick snack but I didn't bother with it. The only thing I will say is that the website needs to be updated. Directions from Parking Garage 1 are wrong. Some of the restaurants listed on the site are closed down. I love the new fun card they use instead of having to have exact change on hand. Fun!
