Circus Circus Buffet: Price, Menu, & Hours

The Circus Buffet is one of the most affordable buffets open on the Las Vegas Strip, and has an average selection of decent tasting food.

Prices

Pricing recently changed to $24.95 for breakfast and dinner for adults and kids. This simple pricing makes it easy to remember.

Adult Prices

It is important to note that this pricing is before the 8.38% sales tax of the Las Vegas Strip. Additionally, for holidays, the price increases due to the demand. 

Child Prices

Circus Circus Hotel and Resort is one of the few family-friendly Las Vegas Strip properties, which means that there are quite a few kids staying at any given time.

The kids’ pricing is the same as adult prices surprisingly, which is higher than several other better Strip buffets kid’s pricing.

Kids three and under eat free at the Circus Buffet, which is a great feature for guests with little ones.

Buffet Menu

The menu at Circus Buffet isn’t the most extravagant you’ll find in Las Vegas, however, they do offer everything that you expect from Vegas buffets. 

Circus Breakfast Buffet

On the Circus Brunch Buffet, you’ll find breakfast staples such as fresh fruit and yogurt, a cereal bar, and hot breakfast choices like waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and french toast. 

There is also a bakery section with bagels and spreads, cinnamon rolls, donuts, muffins, and danishes. The made-to-order omelet station is a breakfast favorite and stays open the entirety of brunch. 

As far as lunch items are concerned, you’ll find popular lunch items like deli meat and cheese, chicken fingers, corn dogs, french fries, and macaroni and cheese. The salad bar is another favorite, with a wide selection of toppings and dressings as well. 

Circus Dinner Buffet

On the Circus Dinner Buffet, you’ll see both the lunch items from the breakfast and lunch buffet and more of the higher-end items, which is why the price increases just a bit. The nightly buffet is set up in sections. 

In the pasta section, there are classics like spaghetti and meatballs and baked pasta dishes. The seafood section includes items such as baked fish, fried shrimp, clams, and muscles. Though you may find crab legs at other buffets, they are not in the budget here. See our list of the best Vegas seafood buffets.

The modest carving station, however, is enough to compensate with rotating cuts of meat such as prime rib and other roasts. There are some international foods as well, such as egg rolls, edamame, a taco bar, shrimp fajitas, and more. 

You’ll also find comfort foods like mashed potatoes, pizza, baked chicken, corn on the cob, hamburgers, and hot dogs. 

The salad bar at night gets stepped up a bit with a make-your-own Caesar salad option with shrimp and anchovies, for example.

Of course, your meal isn’t complete without dessert. Luckily, you’ll find all of your usual favorite desserts like cheesecake, pies, cake, jello, bread pudding, brownies, and soft-serve ice cream.

Beverages

Basic beverages are included in the Circus Buffet prices. There is a self-serve beverage station in the middle of the buffet, including Pepsi products, teas, fruit juices, milk, coffee, and a cappuccino machine.

The Circus Buffet is open for both brunch and dinner but holds separate hours for each. The buffet closes in between to set up for the new menu.
