Share

Less than six months after construction started on Circus Circus Hotel-Resort’s expansion in Reno, work has begun on the $38-million enlargement of its Las Vegas resort.

The Las Vegas expansion will increase the number of guest rooms by 40%. The project includes a 29-story hotel tower with 1,188 rooms, more than 1,000 additional parking spaces and a complete remodeling of the pool area. The tower will feature casino and restaurant facilities and will be connected to the existing hotel by a second-floor sky bridge spanning Circus Circus Drive.

General contractor for the Las Vegas project is Marnell Corrao Associates. The same firm also is the contractor for Reno’s $34-million, 27-story hotel tower on which work began last August.

The existing, family-oriented facility has 1,605 guest rooms and a recreational vehicle park with 421 spaces.

Marnell Corrao is headquartered, in Las Vegas and has offices in Reno and Atlantic City.
