Then & Now: more clowns + a ringmaster...

... and a bike-rider from Circus Circus - 2880 Las Vegas Boulevard South and 500 North Sierra Street, Reno.

The original Circus Circus in Vegas was built in 1968 by Jay Sarno, fresh off his successful creation of Caesars Palace. Circus Circus Reno first opened in 1978. Read the complete story in "Super Casino" by Pete Earley - an excellent book about the mega-casino-resort trend in Las Vegas during the 80's and 90's.

You're right Pam G - I believe the clown on the Circus Circus Vegas chips IS more disturbing than Jocko the Clown on the Boardwalk chips! grin
