Tips & Advice

  • Hold on to your crawl cup all night, because it's how the bars know you're participating and it's what gets you the specials and giveaways.
  • Buy your cup online and head to the Online Pickup table at the start tent, bringing ID that matches the name on your order.
  • Book a downtown hotel with the crawl code so you start and finish the night downtown and don't have to worry about a ride home.
  • If you want a Circus Circus room, book by December 3rd to guarantee the crawler discount.
  • Grab a Fast Pass early if you want to skip venue lines, since only a very small number are available.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Crawler hotel discounts at Circus Circus, Silver Legacy and Eldorado for the crawl weekend, with code SRSCR6 at Circus Circus and Silver Legacy
  • Fast Pass add-on to skip the line into venues, in very limited supply
