Strip casino bringing ‘fun’ back to Las Vegas with return of old-school game
Circus Circus is reintroducing bingo to the Las Vegas Strip, aiming to offer a low-cost, fun experience amid rising prices.Summary
Circus Circus hotel-casino is launching Lucky’s Bingo Room on Friday, bringing bingo back to the Las Vegas Strip for the first time in over a decade. This move is part of a broader strategy to emphasize value and affordability, offering lower-priced gambling, food, and drinks – including $2 hot dogs – as costs increase elsewhere on the Strip. General Manager Shana Gerety stated the goal is to “bring Vegas back to Vegas” and “bring back fun.” The 255-seat hall will host five sessions daily, offering cash prizes up to $1,500. Bingo had previously disappeared from the Strip as casinos prioritized higher-margin options, with the Riviera being the last major property to offer it before closing in 2015. Circus Circus executives believe the timing is right for a revival, as visitors seek more affordable entertainment options. Analysts suggest this strategy could differentiate Circus Circus and attract visitors seeking value.
