Looks like the way is cleared for Phil Ruffin to take Circus Circus and Slot o Fun from MGM. I'm thinking this has got to be a big improvement no matter how you look at it. Especially since MGM sucks. Ruffin's an interesting man. More interesting than MGM's bean counters.

It's a huge piece of property that has been unloved for quite some time. I wonder if he plans to really commit all the capital required to bring it up to snuff, or if he is planning to flip it like the Frontier, or cut it up and sell it a chunk at a time?

Ruffin did say he would close the RV park and put in a huge swimming pool on the Circus property where the RV park sits.

Relatively speaking, Circus Circus was an absolute cash cow for MGM. Their profit margins were extremely high as it relates to their other properties. Cheap to run, brings in money. Ruffin loved the fact that there is big land and it was generating big profits related to cost.
Place is a dump....to a businessman, he understands one thing. Cash cow.
They did release some plans for a new sand pool and other upgrades. Rooms will likely stay as is. Slots o fun will get renovated. RV Park is to go. Land has huge value to him.

If they turn it into a higher-end place where all the Mexicans go? Do other casinos allow 12 family members per room? They should probably leave well enough alone making one peso at a time.

Hmm, I think posting this thought crosses a line.

Slots o Fun is back
All the Circus Circus coin machines have been moved here
It's kind of neat walking in and hearing the sounds of coins falling and seeing people with small buckets
I hear coin slots do well since they are so rare and there are people that really love them and play nothing else

Circus Circus is probably the only casino on the Strip that will tolerate the homeless.
I saw a security guard following one homeless around in Circus Circus and the homeless kept turning around, asking the guard to stop hassling him, but turned out all the guard wanted to do was ask the homeless a couple questions, otherwise, didn't even chase him out.
