 ???? - New Attraction Rumors - (3/29/2025) Some newly updated photo from inside the Circus Circus Adventuredome were posted on twitter last week, showing off the state of things over by the removed Chaos ride. At one point, the site was being cleared out for a rumored new attraction, but for now it now simply like it has just finished being cleared out and will be left to sit as-is for the time being. This may have more to do with the fact that the current owner, Phil Ruffin, stated a month ago that he was ready to sell the casino property to someone else after having owned it and made some improvements since he purchased it from MGM back in 2019 for $825 million.
Ruffin is known for his savvy business dealings, and will more than likely be looking to make a heck of a profit on the resale of the property going forward. In fact, he’s been quoted as saying that he thought the property alone was worth upwards of $5 billion.
So the real question will be if a new owner would be looking to purchase and keep the site running as Circus Circus (including the Adventuredome theme park), or if could be sold to someone looking to demolish all or part of it, in order to redevelop the property from scratch as something new. Circus Circus currently sits on a rather impressive plot of land that could be used for just about anything, with easy access to the strip, convention center and right along the I-15 freeway.
As we all know, when it comes to casino locations on the Las Vegas Strip, nothing is considered sacred ground. Over the past year alone we’ve witnessed the closure of the Tropicanna and The Mirage, so there is no telling what could happen to Circus Circus going forward.
(6/3/2024) New pictures sent in by a local reader show off the latest changes within the Adventuredome. This includes the removal of the various mini-golf holes once set up in the park, as well as a look at the clearing still taking place where the park’s former Chance Chaos ride used to sit.
Which reminds me… for whatever reason, the Adventuredome has been completely ignoring their website. Chaos has been removed for months now, and they still heavily feature it in photos on the website, as well as still showing in the list of park attractions.
Of course, if you thought that was bad, the Circus Circus website hasn’t updated the official hours of operation for the Adventuredome since APRIL of 2022!!! Yes… I said 2022!! It’s been 2 years and 2 months since they’ve updated their hours of operation for the theme park.
Now this is coming from a life-long procrastinator, but come on Circus Circus, this is just embarrassing and you definitely can do better than this. Because if you can’t handle something as simple as updating your calendar, then I’m afraid to think about just what else may have been ignored inside the theme park or even the casino over the past 26 months. Yikes!
(1/9/2024) A reader sent in some new pictures of the former Chaos site. Crews are still working on the site, having removed the ride it also looks like they are removing the elevated platform structure it used to sit on. As previously removed the site may be re-purposed for something new between late 2024 and 2025.
(9/27/2023) So what does the future hold for the Circus Circus Adventuredome? According to what Screamscape has been told Laser Tag is no more. Instead the plan is to reboot their mini golf product as a dark light “Glow” style mini-golf game, and it will be relocated into the former Laser Tag arena space.
As we’ve been covering in pictures, the Chaos is leaving for good. Apparently there are plans to replace it some kind of new attraction, but so far exactly what this will be has not been leaked, and honestly, may not be entirely finalized at this point. Stay tuned!
(9/19/2023) Crews seem to be in no rush to complete the project, but the removal of the Chaos ride at the Adventuredome is still an ongoing project. A reader sent in some new pictures taken on Monday showing the removal progress as well as new construction signs now placed at the entrance/exit to the Lazer Tag arena.
(8/19/2023) A reader sent in some photos taken this week showing that the Adventuredome’s former Chaos ride is now in pieces and in the process of being removed.
(8/13/2023) According to the latest rumor, another new attraction is being planned for the Adventuredome. This one will require the removal of the park’s Chaos (already in progress), Laser Tag arena and Mini Golf attractions to make the needed space available. If this is right, the needed space for this new attraction sounds quite large, and could run from one side of the dome to the other, going from the Chaos footprint on one end, through the pirate themed mini-golf and into the laser tag arena inside the lower half of the fake mountain.
As for what might be coming… we’ve no idea at all at this point. While I’d love to think these could all be removed for one large ride, it is always possible that the three attractions may simply be replaced by three other small attractions instead. Just something to keep an eye on over the next year or two.
