Circus Circus will hold a celebration Thursday for International Clown Week.

The event starts at 12:30 p.m. on the Midway at Circus Circus. Performers will include Dave the Clown, trapeze artists the Flying Poemas and “America’s Got Talent” acrobat Uzeyer Novruzov.

Circus Circus bills itself as the most family-friendly resort on the Strip, with arcade games and regular circus performances. The resort is undergoing a $30 million renovation since being purchased in 2019 by Phil Ruffin, who also owns Treasure Island.
