After dinner we walked down to the other side of the strip. There's quite a dropoff in glitz once you walk past the Venetian, which surprised me. There are still lots of casinos, but they're very tatty, and interspersed with empty lots, gas stations etc. It was even more depressing than the glitzier half of the strip. You will be shocked to hear that Circus Circus casino has a circus theme. It's the biggest hotel in this part of the strip, and actually one of the biggest hotels in the world. As an added bonus, it also has a huge RV lot for those gamblers who prefer to stay in their vehicles rather than splurge for a hotel. The casino is incredibly dirty, very low ceilinged, and covered in a carpet that hasn't been cleaned since the casino opened. There are some circus acts performing around the place, but the whole thing was very claustrophobic, and very crowded. There's a huge amusement park in the back that may have been interesting, but it closes in the evening to ensure that nobody is distracted from the gambling.
