We were in Las Vegas to attend a trade show, so we dropped out bags off with the bellman out front, and headed for the promenade that connects to Paris’ sister property, Bally’s, and then to the Las Vegas Monorail station located at the back of the property. To the right is the brightly-lit reception area where, depending on the time of day, the check-in line snakes Disney-style throughout the lobby and back to the door. Straight ahead are the legs of the Eiffel Tower, interspersed among restaurants and blackjack tables. Step inside, though, and it’s a crazy combination of French-themed decor and the beeping of slot machines and the frenetic energy of a Las Vegas casino. The front of the hotel looks like the Palais Garnier, the opera house made famous in Phantom of the Opera. With a half-scale Eiffel Tower, a neon sign in the shape of the Montgolfier hot air balloon, and versions of the Arc de Triomphe and La Fontaine des Mers, the 2,900+ room Paris Las Vegas hotel makes quite an impression on the Las Vegas Strip.
