Paris Las Vegas: The Ultimate Destination for a Friday Night Out

“Paris Las Vegas is a Paris-themed casino hotel on the Las Vegas Strip at 3655 S Las Vegas Boulevard, owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment. It opened on September 1, 1999, and remains one of the Strip’s most recognizable properties because of its half-scale Eiffel Tower replica and other French landmarks. It sits in a prime center-Strip location across from Bellagio (with fountain views from some rooms and restaurants) and next to Horseshoe Las Vegas, with indoor connections between properties. The 24-acre resort blends romantic Parisian theming with typical Las Vegas scale: gaming, celebrity dining, a rooftop pool, spa, and meeting space. Architecture and theming The signature feature is the half-scale Eiffel Tower replica, about 540–541 feet tall. Guests can ride to an observation deck at around 460 feet for 360-degree Strip views. The tower’s legs pass through the casino ceiling, and there is a free nightly light show. Other replicas and details include a two-thirds-scale Arc de Triomphe, elements of the Louvre, Paris Opera House, and Musée d’Orsay on the facade, a Montgolfier-style hot-air-balloon sign, cobblestone-style walkways, a replica of Pont Alexandre III, ornate street signs, and a painted “Parisian sky” ceiling over the casino. The overall look is stylized rather than a strict historical copy, but the detailing is a major part of the property’s identity. Hotel Paris has 3,672 rooms and suites in two towers: Bordeaux Tower** (original, 34 stories): about 2,916 rooms. Versailles Tower** (former Jubilee Tower from the neighboring property, renovated around 2023): 756 rooms, some with balconies. Rooms mix classic European/Parisian styling with modern updates—burgundy and gold accents in older renovations, brighter contemporary Parisian design in Versailles. Typical rooms run roughly 390–445 square feet. Many have views of the Eiffel Tower, Bellagio fountains, or the Strip. The towers connect via an indoor SkyBridge and shared casino-level walkways. Casino The casino is about 85,000 square feet, themed as a Parisian streetscape under a high painted sky. It includes slots (reports range from 850+ to 2,200+ depending on source and era), table games (blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, poker, etc.), a high-limit area, and the Caesars Race & Sportsbook. The Eiffel Tower legs and replica bridge are part of the floor layout. Dining and nightlife Notable restaurants include: Eiffel Tower Restaurant** (Chef Jean Joho) — French fine dining inside the tower with Bellagio fountain views. Mon Ami Gabi** — French bistro with a popular outdoor patio on the Strip. Gordon Ramsay Steak** Vanderpump à Paris** Nobu** The Bedford by Martha Stewart** Plus quicker options such as Brioche by Guy Savoy, Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay, and Dominique Ansel Marché. Other spots include Chéri Rooftop, Beer Park (rooftop bar/grill), Montecristo Cigar Bar, and various lounges. There is also shopping along Le Boulevard. Amenities Pool à Paris**: two-acre rooftop/garden-style pool complex (hotel guests). Voie Spa & Salon** Eiffel Tower viewing deck and restaurant elevator Wedding chapels Large convention/ballroom space (around 140,000 square feet of function space cited in press materials) Fitness center The property has been renovated in phases (notably around 2019 and the Versailles conversion). It is a mid-to-upscale Strip resort: themed and photogenic rather than the most luxurious or newest on the boulevard, with a strong mix of romance, people-watching, and classic Vegas energy.
