I have been to Vegas twice in the last 20 days for trade show. The first one the Magic show and the second one Super Zoo. Each time I stayed in a different hotel. \n\nI read up on Circus Circus, and as I was on a  budget I thought heck I can do it for 8 hours ( was actually in the room for only 8.5 hours total) The price seemed right... so I thought...\n\nNow Vegas is experiencing over 14% unemployment, at a tax rate of 10.5% which for some reason politicians never understand KILLS BUSINESS. TAXES KILL BUSINESS politicians please read and write this on the chalk board 5 thousand times!\n\nNot only is the tax rate just insane for this place, but the fees hotels sneak in is crazy and have to be driving business away. I know it making this girl think twice before I go again. Heck I might just camp next time that's how bad it is there, I think. \n\nSo back to CC, the actually charge you a fee for having a phone in your room... yes you read that right!! $1 gets you a phone! YIPPEE \nREAD BELOW\n\nThe following mandatory hotel-imposed fees are charged and collected by the hotel either at check-in or check-out: Telephone fee: $1 per room/night. The above list may not be comprehensive. Mandatory hotel-imposed fees may not include tax and are subject to change.\n\nThe total came to $32.34\nTAX $4.39!!! Just what are you dirt bag politicians doing with our money? Paying to get spanked? Oh that's right lobbyists pay you for them to get spanked and your vote... you just buy the drugs and put it under misc. from you slush funds\n\nBack to CC... sorry get side tracked... The beds if that is what you call them in CC. I really thought they were training me to be in the Circus to lay on a bed of nails or glass. THE SPRINGS in the MATTRESS could be felt, I think there was an 1/8th of fabric between me and the mattress... and I have some padding on my own bones...  again I would like to point out that I am a camper, so use to sleeping on the ground. This was sleeping on harsh springy metal! OUCH ALL NIGHT. I tried to sleep on my pillows even!\n\nThe room was pretty decent in being clean and not feeling like I was going to walk away with some skin rash or worse.  I think it is a few steps up from being a total loss and that is why they are not remodeling yet.\n\nI do have something positive to say tho. Their staff and security is great. Nice and personable folks. I had to change rooms due to a partying neighbor and they had no problem moving me and having security meet me to show me to my new room and someone bring me the new key card. My car was safe and I felt safe walking around outside.\n\nOf course the security guard looked like he most definitely worked out and was packing a 9mm Smith and Wesson! SEXY!\n\nIf you have to go cheep this is the place I think... if you need a comfortable bed do not go to this place unless you bring you camping mattress as well.
