What do you think about Circus Circus breakfast buffet? Would you eat here?

[@awesomearizona-dino]

When my daughter was little, 9 yrs old, we took her there to have fun, we bought buffet, she loved it, i barely could eat it.

[@eileendefrancis9124]

Never, nope.

[@pacificcastaway9972]

I'd go. It basically looks like if Denny's had buffet, down to the decore and seating. 😄

Looks like a skip for sure.

And don't eat them before the french toast. Granted it looked weak to begin with, but sitting there while she reviewed the B&G was a killer.

@@greggregg4852 I agree. I've stayed at Hampton Inns with co-workers for a conference a few times (because the room prices are what we're allowed for reimbursement) and we were all satisfied with their buffets.

1 tier above hospital food in the Sysco ordering catalog

[@HeatherGemmen]

lol

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Just saying, not all hospitals have bad food, I've been to some where it was gourmet tier food!!!

[@pamelalansbury94]

I love hospital food 🙊 But I think that might be because you get it served in bed and I’ve never been in the hospital for a scary reason.

[@TheFishSandwichShow]

It’s especially bad if you have to stay in the hospital for two or three weeks. Mayo clinic in Jacksonville has a great menu option.

[@Ysnuggle]

My first and last time eating at the Circus Circus buffet was in 2018. A roach crawled on my arm while I was eating. I told the manager, she apologized and continued her conversation with an employee. Outta there!

[@NickL951]

Extra meat lol

[@stevekckm7879]

This Circus Circus beakfast buffet reminds me when i used to stay there alot in the 90s. It was $3.99 then. I did try it pre covid when it was $19.99 with an omelet station.. again with the high inflation post covid they are trying to give you as much food as they can for a $25 price point. Southpoint garden buffet and Main street Garden buffets are a lot better for a few dollars more. Great review. Thanks 😊😊😊

[@kelqueen9998]

Back in the days when eating in Vegas was cheap! Had a friend who lived in Vegas in the 90's and she didn't even bother to cook, because eating out was way cheaper than groceries.

[@fposmith]

Actually, The Main Street Station is $19.95 !

[@billtravis523]

It was fun to have breakfast with you two this morning! Thanks for giving CC a try. The first plate looks completely acceptable - similar to what one would find at a normal cafe in our small town. Continuing to watch...

[@synaptik111]

Thanks for doing this buffet so I and my family don't have to!

[@mikecronis]

That's a free breakfast at any basic hotel anywhere in the US or even in Vegas just off The Strip. Products very obviously by Sysco. The shredded sawdust-laced cheese was for your industrial prison-food eggs.

[@dani2229]

ooooh a rare bad review!! I love how you always say something positive and never really get TOO negative. fantastic, amazing, wonderful review as always. sadly, I don't think you got that $25 back :/

[@tamosiunas1]

Thanks for the honest and thorough review, Ruby!

[@admiraladama2373]

Ruby, you are so awesome for going back into Circus Circus and dealing with the nonsense of this place, I went into this hotel three years ago and it was my last time I'll ever set foot into this property ever again. 😒😒😒 Saying it was bad is an understatement, sorry you had to deal with all the bad food it's most appreciated that you're doing this for the team, 🙂🙂🙂 so I never have to, 😋😋😋 but on a side note I did eat at this buffet in 2009 and it was horrible so I hope that makes you feel better. 😉😉😉 Thanks anyway for the review and for what it's worth. I feel your pain we'll catch you on the next video.😋😋😋

[@BIGJATPSU]

The heyday of Circus Circus buffet was, sadly, 25-30 years ago. Lines were full and long, people WANTED to come to it, and the price and quality was hard to beat for what was on offer.

[@scrapping4shiba]

It was actually even before then. Circus circus had rooms for $17 per night for a family of 5 and the buffet was $1.99 from 1981-1987.

[@audkarinen6875]

Who in their right mind thinks $25. for a breakfast is reasonable?

You are so brave. Great informative videos. Thank you.

[@clubmogambo3214]

I remember way, way, way back in the day when Circus Circus was not only renowned for the quality and variety of its buffets, but also its prices for them. $1.99 for breakfast, $2.99 for lunch, and $3.99 for dinner. Even factoring in the effects of inflation, they would still be bargains by today's standards.

The one in Reno had good fried chicken back then, but everything else was garbage.

[@BrakRulesAll]

Ruby taking one for the team here, what a trooper. The buffet at Circus Jerkus has been horrendous for decades, even felons out of a 20-year stint at Rikers probably find it inferior to what they were being fed there. Nowadays just as bad, just outrageously expensive for what it is.

[@marciaxx3]

I love that you don't walk in with any preconceived notions, which you could have in this case, given your experience with the Circus Circus dinner buffet. That review, btw, is my all-time favorite. Hall of Fame material.

[@kelseysunsolicitedopinion]

I was wondering why this felt like deja vu!

[@chrislaustin]

The last time I had the CC buffet was probably 93 give or take, a few years before I moved here to Vegas in 95, and in all honesty, it looks exactly the same. The only difference I can see between then and now is the price, as I don't remember what I paid back then, but it most certainly wasn't $25. And for the time and the price, I had the same reaction, it was OK and fine for what it was, but it was also one of the cheapest buffets you could get back then(the price today, not so much).

[@fjnsocal]

Reminds me of how most buffets were, not bad not amazing as Ruby said! Thank you Ruby, your videos are always enjoyable

[@55nimrod55]

Ya, that's not "maple" syrup! It's artificially flavored pancake syrup made from corn syrup. What most places serve.

[@scrapping4shiba]

They weren't shell cracked eggs either, it's some mix poured out of a container that they call "eggs", but it doesn't look or taste like real eggs.

[@danlociceroify]

Thanks Ruby! Making history, Im having breakfast today at Margarittaville before it closes forever.

[@rogeeeferrari]

There's nothing that could get me on that property, NOTHING. They could give a free buffet and I would pass...

This buffet brings back memories , in the 90s early 2000s we would stay as Circus Circus (until it went downhill) and as a kid I was always so excited to eat at this buffet … i remember thinking it was amazing …. lol 34 year old me would probably have a different reaction now.

[@richardg1450]

[@texadonkey34]

Hey Ruby. Awesome Vegas Nostalgia 👍😻🍀. Thank you for giving it a chance & a review. I know the younger crowd likes the high end hotels. This place was total classic Vegas. Morning slot tournaments & the low limit tables. I would run across from Riviera😁. Our friends did the RV hookups in the back of Circus and would travel from Texas. 👍

[@rongendron8705]

The last time that I ate the "Circus Circus" buffet, it was $3.99 for lunch! I can't imagine it being $25.00!

[@kamanama3671]

Mashed potatoes are often less stiff before going on a buffet because the water will evaporate as it sits. If it goes out like we normally would eat it at home it’s gonna look like the oatmeal that you saw within about 15-20 minutes.

[@spectroman71]

I remember in the 80s there was an hour line and a clown theme...it was cheap then but you get what you pay for! We loved it.

Thanks for this review-wonderful of you as always! Love that your reviews are so balanced! I’m done with buffets-if the food is decent, they are super expensive and crazy busy; the low end ones are still not good enough for what they charge. One last-what do they do with all the leftover food? Unless they are finding a way to utilize the leftovers, the sheer waste of it is something I would rather not support.

[@debbieschultz106]

As a restaurant owner/caterer/meals on wheels/ and the list goes on, I can tell you by looking at this food, it comes right off the truck and on your plate. Thanks, Ruby. I won't be eating there.

I have been there before. I love the Slots O' Good and Plenty. Some places just bring luck so I just go there. I never have any luck at others. The hotel has alot of young hispanic families. We met a whole group of co workers and their families who worked for Cal dept. Transporation at the swimming pool. Just alot of nice people. No movie starts or goofy KZbin stars but plenty of down to earth people and their families. I like it there. The facility is tired but the people are nicer than at other places.

[@jimmyamico4713]

Excellent video… in my opinion the food looked kind of like IHOP pancake House. I am not cheap at all, but I will say $25. I thought it was pricey for what you had… I think a good price for this buffet would’ve been between 15 and $20 anyway as always great job Mr. and Mrs. Ruby❤

On our first visit to Vegas in 1992 the breakfast buffet was $1.99. Lunch $2.99. We were getting about 2 dollars to the UK pound so thought all our Christmasses had come at once. The food wasn't great though even back then.

If you want to get drunk and party Circus Circus is the place. Dealers bartenders and security are pretty cool if you keep it amongst your own group.
