Over the weekend, my spouse and I took our 16 year old daughter to Circa Hotel and Casino for dinner. Bad idea. We were greeted just outside the parking garage by an officious security guard who informed us that our daughter was not allowed in the hotel, even to have dinner. Further, if we tried to book room, my daughter would not be allowed to stay with us in the room, because this is an all adults hotel and casino.
Wait minute. Remember in the Jim Crow days when African Americans were not allowed to stay in Strip hotels? Remember when the 1964 Civil Rights Act precluded discrimination based on race, sex, religion or age? How can a hotel ban children from staying in a hotel room with their parents? How can children be banned from restaurants? How is Derek Stevens getting away with this?
Is this sarcasm? I feel like it may be, but I'm not sure. Why do you want your 16 year old subjected to the downtown scene – in a hotel where there is activity only for adults? There are plenty of other steak houses in Nevada.
What are you, an idiot? Is your daughter Rosa Parks or something?
@11:33 – LOL. You win.
This is funny. Circa did not impress me, but I have not seen the pool area packed with hotties in bikinis, or so the ads tell me. Downtown is scary.
As for your daughter, it reminded me how my wife's dad had her slap on tons of makeup when she was 16 so they could gamble together at Binions when it was in its glory. Doze were da days.
Title II of the Civil Rights Act makes no mention of age. I believe, but may be incorrect that age only applies for employment matters under Title VII (EEOC).
(a)Equal access
All persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national origin.
I had a similar experience when I brought my 16 year old daughter to the Adult Superstore. I just needed to pick up a few things for the weekend and the store denied my daughter's entry and she had to stay out in the parking lot. Strange that I can buy 4 bottles of Rebel Yell at Vons with my daughter but she can't be with in the Adult Superstore. Thank you Biden.
Is this "The Onion?"
1:05, 12:35, OMG, you guys made me laugh. Love it.
12:27, so you're saying the guy equating a casino keeping kids off their premises to Jim Crow doesn't have the law exactly right?
Federal law prohibits privately owned facilities that offer food, lodging, gasoline or entertainment to the public from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin. Not age. Next time go to Circus Circus
Circus Circus is a dump.
10:52 is a moron and would probably actually enjoy Circus Circus
April 26, 2021 at 11:02 AM – You're just no fun. Circus Circus has one of the best steakhouses in the country, tons of fun kitsch, and if that's not enough for you, there's soft serve, pizza, and pretzels. C'mon, lighten up! Even an insufferable snob like me likes Circus Circus.
Love the Circus Circus Steakhouse.
Do they still have the spinning bar that was in Fear & Loathing?
Must you accept minor guests in your property? Generally speaking, the answer is yes. Innkeepers have a general duty to admit all persons who seek accommodations, unless the innkeeper has “just cause” to refuse accommodations. Just cause may include lack of available guestrooms, failure of the guest to pay for the charges and a reasonable belief that the guest may harm employees, other guests or your property. Failure to allow a minor as a registered guest in your property may be grounds for an unfair discrimination charge against the innkeeper.
Exactly what law are you referring to? And what agency would enforce it? State public accommodation laws do not consider age a protected class.
Never mind that booking a room at an inn is inherently a contractual relationship–in exchange for paying the agreed upon rate and following the property's reasonable guest rules, the innkeeper agrees to supply a room–and last I checked my black letter contract law, minors don't have capacity to contract.
Yeah! My kids should be allowed to drink and go to strip clubs!
I still believe that people who complain about “politics in entertainment” don’t mind politics. They just mind politics they disagree with in entertainment. They don’t want neutrality. They want validation. A human need, to be sure, but not how the argument is framed.

We are talking about children accompanied by their parents. Get real.
Pretty sure 11:08 is talking about the first subject for discussion listed in the actual blog post. Get real.
About Disney,
I stopped going to any Disney park years ago because I didn't like paying a fortune for the privilege of standing in line for an hour to get on ride, the parks are dirtier, food is really expensive, etc. That said, what I see coming out of the Disney studios and what I read about the corporate pronouncement puts me in the support column for VanBoskerck. It is not now the Disney I loved as a child nor the Disney that my children loved when they were young. Like Peter, corporate Disney has lost its way.
Disney has been the most corporate of companies for decades. Anyone who laments the Disney as a child is referring to the patrons changing rather than Disney changing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmRYeQnhL6c
I can see not going to Disney because of lines, but politics? Get a life you giant man-children. And stop taking your real children to casinos. Take them to Disney where we can continue their liberal indoctrination. You can stay in the hotel room furiously typing your angry screeds to the editor of the Blaze.
@12:00 Chill
You confuse 11:48 with 10:52. Do you hate everyone and everything, or miss you Xanax this morning? Peace.
12:00 here. I didn't confuse either of them. I think both complaints are equally stupid and worthy of derision. As are you. Peace.
Oh to be so brilliant and so smug!!!
I know right!
