Cirque Polynesian is a South Seas-themed presentation that includes fire eaters, contortionists and motorcycle dare-devils. It, too, is a family-friendly presentation.
Not so Cirque Risque, a/k/a "The Nude Circus." This adults-only show won't really show everything there is to show - this is, after all, still Atlantic City. But the cast members will be wearing as little as they possibly can (G-strings, pasties, whatever decency and alcoholic beverage-service laws allow).
According to Resorts CEO Dennis Gomes, the circuses (circi? circum?) will likely run well into the fall, and perhaps beyond that (the venue boasts complete heating and air-conditioning systems). But, said Gomes, the space, which has 400 more seats than the property's Superstar Theater, may host headliners as well.
"Great American Circus" showtimes are 4:30 p.m. Friday and 1 and 4:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $35-$18 (adults) and $16-$9 (children under 12).
"Cirque Polynesian" showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is $45-$30 (adults) and $16-12 (kids).
"Cirque Risque" showtime is 11 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is $69-$39 (must be 18).

Dinos invade Showboat
Also looking to lure younger visitors and their parental units is Showboat Atlantic City, which on Sunday debuts the cleverly named "Dinoshore" exhibit. The program runs through Labor Day and utilizes robotics and authentic fossils and skeletons to tell the story of the "terrible lizards" that ruled the earth millions of years ago.
Showtime is 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Admission is $15.50 (adults), $10.50 (seniors and kids under 12) and $7.50 (for groups of 10 or more). A $42 family four-pack (two adults, two children) is also available. For tickets, call 800-736-1410, or go to ticketmaster.com.
