Circus Circus Adverturedome

The Circus Circus Adventuredome / Grand Slam Canyon is a small indoor theme park located behind the Circus Circus casino. It has several rollercoasters and attractions including Fun House Express- a motion simulator ride, Hot Shots Laser Tag, food vendors and roaming clowns. It's a good place to bring kids, but the poorly conceived floor plan makes it easy to get lost. Here are the four biggest rides or attractions:

The Canyon Blaster

The Canyon Blaster is the largest indoor double-loop, double-corkscrew roller coaster in the country. It travels at speeds up to 55  miles per hour and subjects you to a series of hair-raising twists, turns and loops. The ride begins with a climb up to 90 feet before you are dropped at a 45-degree angle into the first of two loops. The Canyon Blaster pulls both positive and negative G-forces for a unique sensation.  The ride lasts for a total of 1 minute and 45 breathless seconds.

Rim Runner

The Rim Runner is a fantastic flume ride that circulates 460,000 gallons of water. The flow of the water is so strong, it can run up to four boats at a time (each boat weighs 4,000 lbs excluding passengers).  The stream circles the park, so you'll get a view of the other rides and can wave at friends. However, hang on at the end of the ride because the Rim Runner ends with a 60-foot drop at 40 feet per second. It's fun but be prepared, you'll get soaked at the end.

Fun House Express

The fun house express is a motion simulator ride located in the Adventuredome. It was specifically designed for Circus Circus and continues the clown motif. The Fun House Express story revolves around Jimmy, a retired clown who operates a  rickety fun house ride for an unappreciative boss.  The real adventure begins when Jimmy seeks his revenge by sending the audience on a wild  ride through a spooky world of his own creation called "Clown Chaos". Despite the kids' theme, the Fun House Express doesn't pull any punches. The ride is fun, but there are plenty of bumps and turns. It may be too intense for younger children.

Hot Shots Laser Tag

This modern laser tag arena was designed by Ultrazone of Las Vegas for Circus Circus. The large area covers over 7,500 feet and is replete with visual effects and physical obstacles. Guests are divided into two teams, (red and green) to compete for highest individual and team, score. Get a good hiding spot and fire away, or run around commando-style, the games are five minutes long so you only have a short time to do a lot of shooting.
