I'll copy what I had to say at C2k:

Definitely don't stay at Circus Circus, I stayed there and it was an absolute crap hole. Also, it still costs 20 bucks for the adventure dome if you stay there.

My pick is Excalibur. I have stayed there twice, and it is a very, very nice hotel. It is also great for teens and children. Also, the location is fantastic.

As for the coasters, I found them best to worst in this order:

1. Speed- fast, smooth, and all out fun
2. Desperado- tall, nice air, but a little rough...also very long
3. Canyon Blaster- fairly smooth arrow with great theming
4. Manhattan Express- POS togo. You will want to yell out a few explicatives during this ride. Not worth 8 or 9 bucks or whatever rediculous price they pay. Just have a buddy punch you a couple times for free.

I will also copy my post on C2K.

I was at the Circus Circus in Reno a few years ago so thats my vote. When I was at the one in Reno I had a great time. Plus with a stay there I think you get to go to the Adventure Dome for free. Could be wrong about that though.

Might wanna edit your post^ You still have to pay for rides and a wristband.

The Circus Circus was just dirty, smok(ey,ie,y?), and the food and services were just pathetic. We asked for a non smoking room in our reservations, and still our room smelled heavily of smoke. Basically the actual hotel is like stuck 10-20 years ago. The Adventure Dome is really nice, but you don't have to stay at CC to go.

I was just there over spring break and i agree that circus circus is just plain crap. I stayed at Luxor (the only hotel to let under 18 rent a room) and it was great, but the other hotels around are definitely much niced. Go see a Cirque de Soliel show while your there. They are very impressive
