It may seem counterintuitive, but a kid crying when leaving Circus Circus is considered a sign of success.
If they’re crying, it means they’re having so much fun that they don’t want to leave, said Shana Gerety, the casino-resort’s senior vice president of operations. “That’s how we at Circus Circus know that what we’re doing is right.”
And there are more crying kids walking through the exit doors nowadays, she said, thanks to the progress of the roughly $30 million renovations at the north Strip resort that are expected to be mostly completed by the end of the year.
Since the 2019 acquisition of Circus Circus by Phil Ruffin, who also owns Treasure Island, new additions to freshen up the site have quietly spruced up the spot that’s been a Strip landmark since 1968.
