Butterflies by Wanda - WKN

Circus Circus in Las Vegas has always been a great place to take our boys while they were growing up. The price was reasonable and they were entertained for hours by all the games, rides and food! We went a few years ago with my nephew and his family and I especially enjoyed the excitement on his small children's faces as they enjoyed the sights and sounds.

I went on every ride they did and was having a great time until we got on the swinging ship...every time it would swing to its highest point, I got a HUGE FLUTTER in my stomach! Wow! What a sensation...butterflies! This is still a great venue for people of all ages and if you're ever in Las Vegas, I recommend it highly!

Circus Circus is only 121 miles - about 1 hour 47 mins from St. George, Utah.

I love Las Vegas!

That's so cool that you're so close to it.

I've not been to Circus Circus yet.

But now after reading your blog, I'm thinking it's going to be worked in to my next Vegas trip plans.

Edward & Celia, Oh yeah, it can and will if you do-it-all! Have a great week as well!

Craig, Vegas is indeed a place for everyone! Kind of like AR! My husband has a daughter there and we like to visit her and her family and catch the shows! Cirque du Soleil is one of my favorites!

Hi Wanda,

I got trapped into one of those swinging ships and I was terrified. I kept thinking that the bar on your legs would come loose. I haven't been back on one. I glad you had a great time.

Kathleen, I love it when we actually go to a place that is kid / adult friendly! Of course I have to refrain from looking like I am enjoying myself more than the young ones! Ha-ha!

Monique, I remember when I was younger on the Zipper and the cage opened up while we were in the air!!! That settled that one, so I know how you feel! Thank you!

We used to go their every year ourselves and we even took my daughter there for her birthday when she was younger. It really was pretty cool, but that was back when the family had a time share on the strip.

wanda - last time I went to Circus Circus was 1992 and I dropped $20 on the craps table and walked 45 minutes later with 3,000.  I love circus circus!  Too bad it is such a far trip for me now.  My girls loved Vegas when we still ived in California and visited in 2005.  We took them down the "lazy river" at one of the hotels (don't remember now) and they absolutley loved it.  Vegas a place for kids...hee hee  who would have thought?

Hi Wanda, you're bringing back memories to me.  When I was still flying, Circus circus was our layover hotel for a few years.  I spent a lot of time around there.

Todd, It is a great place to go for celebrations and just to experience something different!

Wow! You cleaned up Nevin! I can see why you love Circus Circus! and yes, it is a place for kids...no matter the age! Ha-ha!

Gabe, Were you a domestic pilot or international? I bet you loved your job!

Konnie, It's a big ship that rocks back and forth at a high rate of speed and grabs your stomach when it reaches the highest point on either side. It's a rush for sure!

Very interesting photo.  I had to look really hard to see the people in it.  Makes for some thought.

Good news.... Athena has finally figured out that if we say belly rub and she falls over the next hour is absolute bliss for her as she gets her belly rubbed! (Almost like having a fainting goat!)

Kenneth, I'm not sure how that happened in the photo...it almost has a ghost effect.

Too cute! You should videotape that and send it to AMF! Ha-ha! Thanks for sharing that Todd!
