Las Vegas Strip Casino Brings Back a Vintage Gaming Experience
Circus Circus on the Las Vegas Strip has revived bingo, a classic casino game that disappeared from the Strip in 2015, to attract budget-conscious gamblers.Summary
Circus Circus has reintroduced bingo to the Las Vegas Strip, a game absent since the Riviera casino’s closure in 2015. While bingo remains popular in other casinos and on cruise ships, it had fallen out of favor on the Strip due to its lower revenue potential and large space requirements. However, with a struggling economy and a decline in Las Vegas tourism and overall spending, Circus Circus is betting that lower-stakes gambling options like bingo will appeal to visitors. The new bingo hall offers a vintage experience with paper cards and prizes up to $1,500, and is part of a broader effort to create an ‘old school Vegas’ feel at the resort. The move comes as bingo gains popularity in the U.K. among younger players seeking value during economic hardship.
