Paris Las Vegas Casino Resort
If you’ve ever had dreams of going to France, but your passport has expired, you might want to stop over to Las Vegas’ version of Paris ñ the Paris Las Vegas Casino Resort. With a half scale replica of the Eiffel Tower outside and the subdued garden atmosphere on the inside, you can forget about the hubbub of the outside and relax in European elegance. Take a moment to look up when you walk inside, noticing that the ceilings are painted and lit to look like you’re outdoors.
To add to the atmosphere are benches and streetlamps and fountains, all hoping to capture that Parisian street feel ñ and succeeding. While the use of ‘Frangalis’ in the signage and in some of the literature is a little silly, you can see that the intentions of Paris are pure. Walk down the cobblestone streets of the interior to see French mainstays ñ a boulangerie and patisserie, for example. And you can’t miss the lobby area where brilliant chandeliers are almost dizzying and magical.
While there is a casino in the interior, it seems hidden by the trees and street lamps that decorate the area. And you can’t miss the underside of the Eiffel Tower replica ñ in fact, you should try to take the trip to the top if you have a few spare moments of time. It’s very inexpensive and you will get to see the entire Las Vegas area from a secure walkway at the top. The helpful guides will also help you learn more about the construction and the history of the area and the tower itself.
Of course, eating at Paris is top notch. Try Le Village Buffet, the Eiffel Tower Restaurant, and Mon Ami Gabi. And there are also shows regularly at Paris, most recently was The Producers.
Rooms at Paris start at $119 and up, while expensive, still cheaper than the real thing.
