The Schedule Is Not Published, So It Cannot Be Stated Here
No publicly published reference source for Circus Circus Las Vegas includes a bingo start time, day-of-week schedule, or session length. The question asks for a live operating detail, and that detail changes at the discretion of the property. What is documented and stable is the venue's physical location, its facility figures, and its position relative to dozens of reference cities. This article gives you that fixed geography and explains how to confirm the bingo schedule yourself before you travel.
The venue sits at coordinates 36.13694444 latitude, -115.16333333 longitude, in Winchester, Nevada, on the northern Las Vegas Strip. It opened on October 18, 1968, without a hotel. A 15-story tower with 409 rooms was added in 1972. The casino originally had 686 slot machines. It is owned and operated by Phil Ruffin.
Because bingo hours are not a fixed fact, the honest answer is that this article cannot state a time. What it can do is anchor the venue in space so you understand where you would be going, and then point you to the channel that holds the current schedule.
Where Circus Circus Sits
Circus Circus Las Vegas is located in Winchester, Nevada. Winchester is an unincorporated town in Clark County, immediately east and slightly north of the Las Vegas city limits. The venue's coordinates place it on the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip corridor, roughly 2.6 straight-line miles from the documented reference point for Las Vegas itself.
The property is in the southern part of Nevada, west of the Arizona border and east of the California border. Using only the coordinates supplied, the venue sits north of Henderson, which is 12.3 straight-line miles away, and west of the Las Vegas reference point. The state is Nevada, and the nearest large documented reference city is Las Vegas.
The venue's position is fixed. A reader's starting point is not. If a query asks about distance from "me" or "my location," no reference point exists in the documentation, so no distance can be computed from it. The correct approach is to treat the venue as the fixed anchor and measure from wherever you are.
Straight-Line Distances to Reference Points
All figures below are great-circle distances, meaning the shortest path over the earth's surface between two coordinate pairs. They are not road distances. Road travel is always longer because highways follow terrain, avoid obstacles, and connect through junctions rather than cutting directly across the map.

Why Road Distance Is Always Longer
A straight-line distance cuts across terrain, water, and property boundaries without regard for where roads run. The road network cannot do that. Highways follow graded terrain, avoid mountain ranges where possible, cross rivers only at bridge points, and connect through urban interchanges. Between any two of the reference points above, the driven route will be longer than the great-circle figure, sometimes by a substantial margin.
For a venue in southern Nevada, the surrounding geography reinforces this. The region sits in the Mojave Desert, with mountain ranges and basin terrain that force highways into specific corridors. Travel toward California crosses state lines and mountain passes. Travel toward Arizona crosses the Colorado River at limited bridge points. None of those routes follows a straight line.
This article does not publish road mileage, driving time, or route numbers. Those figures require a routing engine and current traffic conditions, and they are not part of the documented reference material. A reader who needs road distance should measure it in a mapping tool using the venue's coordinates as the destination.
Measuring From Your Own Starting Point
The venue's position is fixed at 36.13694444, -115.16333333. Your starting point is whatever address or coordinate you choose. To measure the straight-line distance from your own location, take your latitude and longitude and compare them against the venue's coordinates using any standard great-circle distance formula or a mapping tool that displays straight-line measurement.
If the reference point you care about is not in the table above, this article cannot state that specific distance. The table includes every documented pair available. For any other city, town, or address, the reader must compute the measurement themselves from the two coordinate pairs. No interpolation or estimation is provided here.
When planning a trip, treat the straight-line figure as a lower bound, not a travel plan. The actual route, the time it takes, and the cost of getting there are all governed by road conditions, border crossings where applicable, and the mode of transport chosen.
What to Confirm Before You Go
Bingo hours are a live operating detail. They can change by day of week, by season, by special event, or by management decision. The authoritative current answer lives with the property itself. Check the venue's own published hours page or contact its guest services line before travelling. Do not rely on a third-party listing that may be stale.
Other changeable items to confirm include whether bingo is offered at all on the date you plan to visit, whether sessions require advance registration, and whether the bingo area operates under different hours than the main casino floor. None of those details appears in the documented reference sources for this venue, so none is stated here.
The venue's physical location, its 409 hotel rooms, its 686 slot machines, and its October 18, 1968 opening date are documented facts. Everything about the bingo schedule is not. Keep those two categories separate when planning.
