Circus Circus is the world’s largest permanent circus, attracting crowds of visitors daily. Free Circus Circus shows are a must if you love the big top, and they’re undeniably fun for all ages.
We call every quarter to get the correct show times. Here are the latest times.
Show Times
- Monday to Thursday (1:30pm – 9:30) and Friday to Sunday (11:30am to 9:30pm), every hour on the half hour
Free circus shows are performed daily, with a new act starting each hour.
Most performances last less than 20 minutes, though. The quick shows make it easy to fit a little bit of circus fun into your day, and the younger members of your family won’t get bored trying to sit through a long performance.
The stadium-style seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and it fills up fast for some acts, especially on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Location
The free circus acts are held at the Carnival Midway above the casino floor. The Midway has carnival and arcade games to play, or you can test out the rides at Adventuredome.
Circus Acts Free Shows
Circus Circus dubs their show The World’s Largest Permanent Circus. If a huge permanent circus in the heart of Las Vegas isn’t exciting enough for you, a free one should be!
The daily free circus acts are a staple at Circus Circus. After all, it’s one of the best free shows you can find in Vegas.
The family-friendly show includes a great variety of circus entertainment from around the globe and some domestic acts. The Happy Chefs and Juggling Twins are some of the most popular acts, as is Noelia with her solo trapeze act.
From Argentina, there are high-flying trapeze tricks performed by Flying Poemas and impressive aerial silk skills performed by Naria. The Free Ladderman has an incredible balance on the German Wheel from Russia, and Hossein performs unbelievable feats of strength and balance from Persia.
It wouldn’t be a circus without clowns, too! It’s whimsical, innocent fun that won’t blow your budget. Don’t worry – there’s a net under any of the acts that take place from the air to keep the performer and the audience members safe.

That schedule clearly says March of 2021. Is it still up to date?
Hi Elliot,
The schedule dated 2021 is the only schedule linked on the official Circus Circus website, so it should be up to date. Most likely, the schedule has remained the same since 2021, or very close to the same. When the resort uploads a new schedule, we’ll be sure to update it within this post. 🙂
We’re in mid-April, so which week of March that’s posted do I follow? There is 2 different schedules for a Saturday at 12:30 for example. I’ll be there April 20th, 2024. Thank you in advance for any help/clarification 🙂
I just called Circus Circus for the show times of Circus Acts, and its only bein gheld on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Mondays from 12:30-9:20 every hours on the half hour. Once we get to the summer, they will expand that to daily shows.
