Supposedly, it all started when a mother in room 123 shot her son before taking her own life. It is said that the soul of the little boy continues to haunt various areas of the hotel to this day. For this reason, Circus Circus is included in the list of the most famous haunted attractions in Las Vegas.

Hartland Mansion​

It's hard to visit Las Vegas and not run into someone who appears to be eerily similar to rock and roll legend Elvis Presley, but it's less common to run into the actual ghost of the King himself. The Hartland Mansion is one of the few places in the city where the spirit of Elvis has been seen wandering.

Since he stayed there several times while singing at the neighboring International, it's only natural that his ghost would want to revisit the Hartland mansion, which is now a popular venue for weddings and other formal events.

El Cortez Hotel and Casino​

If you stay at the El Cortez hotel, you will have an almost impossible experience of what it was like to visit Las Vegas in the 1940's. Before Elvis and Liberace, there was the Rat Pack. The Cortez has grown, just like Las Vegas, maintaining its sleek mid-century modern style.

El Cortez's atmosphere is ideal for guests who want to gamble and relax while immersing themselves in the world of Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky nostalgia. The Cortez also has a long history of paranormal occurrences, as do many other hotels frequented by gangsters throughout history.

Caesars Palace​

Caesars Palace's statue-laden, Roman-influenced architecture gives the place an eerie yet disarming air, as well as a dark countenance. Eerie sense-activated fountains that turn on and off by themselves are the source of much paranormal speculation.
