Attention, bingo enthusiasts! It’s time to dust off your daubers because Las Vegas is welcoming you back. Circus Circus is set to reintroduce bingo to the Strip after more than ten years of absence. The games will kick off in mid-February 2026 in a spacious 225-seat hall located on the second floor of the casino.

Though bingo has been absent from the Strip, it has remained popular among locals at various off-Strip locations like Palace Station, Red Rock, South Point, Cannery, and Suncoast, where devoted players enjoy a massive 9,170-square-foot hall beneath a 17-foot chandelier filled with bouncing bingo balls.

However, the famous bingo scene on the Strip essentially vanished when the Riviera closed its doors in 2015, which had been filling the gap left by the Frontier’s closing in 2007.

Bingo, a game of chance where players mark numbers on cards to form winning patterns and shout “Bingo!” for prizes, may never overshadow classics like baccarat or blackjack. Still, with Circus Circus’ unique offering of complimentary parking, it is poised to attract a wealth of older locals and nostalgic tourists who haven’t visited the Strip in years.

Nostalgic Appeal

The introduction of bingo allows Circus Circus to embrace its unintended dominance in Las Vegas nostalgia, a status achieved by simply being one of the oldest remaining Strip properties and not updating most of its games for many years.

Since opening in 1968, it remains the only casino south of downtown featuring coin-operated slots.

The upcoming bingo hall will offer classic snacks like hot dogs, pretzels, nachos, beer, and cocktails — all staples of bingo nights, albeit with 2025 price tags. Thanks to Gen Z’s humorous appreciation for retro styles, even hipsters might drop by for their share of Instagram content. Expect to see hashtags like #DauberLife and #BingoIsBack in abundance.

There will be six sessions each day, costing $30 per pack for 10 games, which includes regular rounds, a bonus game, and a coverall. Additional packs will also be available at $30, while bonus and coverall games can be purchased separately for $10 or $20. Cash prizes will start at $50, reaching up to $1,500 for coveralls.

But that’s not all. Following the bingo launch, Circus Circus will further expand its casino floor with the addition of coin-operated slots relocated from Slots-A-Fun.

Sometimes, progress means revisiting the past.
