It's a phrase used to answer a stupid question or to counter a stupid comment. It is derived from a statment made by Crash Holley (WWE superstar). He was defending his hard core title in a falls count any where match. He was at a circus when a clown approached and said to him, "I've seen on TV. You've defended your title on the street, in an alley and at a circus." Crash replied "a circus?". Just then the clown attacked him and tried to pin him. So his reaction to the puzzling statment was "a circus?" It should be said in a loud, high picthed, questioning manner.
1. Dude I think that Kim chick is hot. Reply: A circus?

2. A man is standing in front of a large clock when another man approaches and asks, "Do you know what time it is?" The man replies "a circus?"

3. I think that George W Bush is the best president this country has ever had. A circus?

Get the a circus? mug.
A Las Vegas hotel and casino on the northern end of the strip. Built in 1968, it was (and still is) geared mostly towards families with children. Known for having some of the cheapest hotel rooms on the strip. Various attractions at Circus Circus include Circus Acts, the Midway,and the Adventuredome, which is an indoor theme park. It is one of the older hotels on the strip, and it shows its age. Not as nice as say Caesars Palace, but still a very fun place to go. Could be renovated in 2006, or even demolished soon.
When you go to Las Vegas, what hotel do you stay in?
I stay at Circus Circus.

the most pathetic excuse for a hotel in vegas. calls itself a family resort- hey guess what, it's still a casino. the carpet is dirty, the rooms are aging, the elevators are deathtraps, and the parking garage is ridiculous. the famous circus acts are a joke.
wow, i know that if i was going to stay in vegas, i would avoid circus circus
