What Paris Las Vegas is
Paris Las Vegas opened in September 1999 with a half-scale Eiffel Tower, a two-thirds-scale Arc de Triomphe, a Paris Opera House facade, a Louvre facade and a hot-air balloon sign, all on the east side of the boulevard directly across from the Bellagio fountains. It has about 2,900 rooms in the original Eiffel-facing tower and the adjacent Versailles Tower (the former Jubilee Tower of Bally's, renovated and rebranded in 2023), a 95,000-square-foot casino under a painted-sky ceiling, and the Le Boulevard shopping arcade dressed as a Parisian street.
Caesars Entertainment owns it and links it indoors to Horseshoe next door, which in turn connects to the Flamingo and the rest of the Caesars east-side chain. It sits squarely in the Center Strip, and its value proposition has always been the same: the most central mid-priced rooms on the boulevard with the best view of the fountains.
Free: the tower lights, the facade and the casino ceiling
The Eiffel Tower is lit every night, and since 2021 it has run a free sparkling light show every half hour after dark, borrowed from the real tower in Paris, timed loosely to the Bellagio fountains across the road. The best free view of both is from the pedestrian bridge between Paris and Bellagio, which is also the most reliable free vantage point for the fountains without a restaurant reservation.
Inside, the casino floor sits under a painted twilight sky, with cobblestone-effect walkways, wrought-iron street lamps and the base of the Eiffel Tower's legs coming down through the ceiling. Le Boulevard is a short arcade of French-themed shops and a patisserie with a decent croissant. The Arc de Triomphe out front and the balloon sign are the photo spots. It is all free, open around the clock and takes 20 minutes to see properly.
The Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck
The paid attraction is the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck, 460 feet up at the top of the replica, reached by a glass elevator that rises through the casino ceiling. Tickets run roughly $25 to $40 as of 2026, with a premium after dark and discounts through Caesars packages; check the official site. It is open from the afternoon until late, weather permitting, and the after-dark slot timed to a fountain show is the one to book. Views cover the whole Center Strip and, on a clear day, the mountains.
Compare it with the High Roller wheel at the LINQ, which is a ten-minute walk north and offers a slower, enclosed 30-minute rotation, and with the free elevated views from bars like the Cosmopolitan's Chandelier or Paris' own tower restaurant. The attractions hub ranks the Strip's viewpoints and covers ticket bundles.
Dining highlights
Mon Ami Gabi is the reason many people know Paris: a Parisian bistro with a large patio on the boulevard facing the Bellagio fountains, serving steak frites and onion soup at $40 to $80 a head as of 2026. Breakfast and lunch on the patio are easier to book than dinner. The Eiffel Tower Restaurant, 11 storeys up inside the tower, does French fine dining with fountain-view window tables at $120 to $250 a head and is a classic proposal spot; book weeks ahead.
Elsewhere: Vanderpump à Paris is Lisa Vanderpump's photogenic bar-restaurant, Bedford by Martha Stewart opened in 2022, Nobu has an outpost here, Gordon Ramsay Steak is the mid-to-high steakhouse option, and Le Village Buffet runs around $40 to $60. Café Americano is the 24-hour option, and the patisserie in Le Boulevard handles coffee and pastries. The dining hub has the rankings.
Pool, casino and the vibe
The pool is on the roof of the low-rise podium, a two-acre octagonal pool with a garden theme, sun decks and cabanas; it is modest by Strip standards and faces mostly inward, but it is fine for an afternoon. There is no dayclub. Guests-only with wristbands, seasonal hours, cabanas from around $150 midweek. The Versailles Tower has its own pool access arrangement; ask at check-in.
The casino is a favourite among visitors who like a bit of atmosphere: mid-sized, warm, with lower minimums than the big west-side resorts ($10 to $25 blackjack at off-peak times as of 2026, higher on weekend nights), a lively bar scene at the Chateau and Alexxa's, and a comfortable sportsbook. The vibe is fun, mid-market and unpretentious, with a mix of first-timers, couples and bachelorette groups. It is one of the friendlier casinos on the Strip for beginners.
Rooms and who should stay here
Rooms in the original tower are around 450 square feet with a red-and-gold French theme; a renovation programme has been rolling through since 2019, and renovated rooms are noticeably better, so ask. Fountain-view rooms on the west side of the main tower look straight across at Bellagio and are the most requested mid-priced view on the Strip. The Versailles Tower, renovated in 2023, has more contemporary rooms in a gold-and-cream palette. Rates as of 2026 run roughly $80 to $250 midweek and $150 to $400 at weekends, plus a resort fee of about $45 to $50 plus tax; check the official site.
Paris suits first-timers who want the centre of the Strip on a mid-range budget, couples who want a fountain view without Bellagio prices, and anyone who plans to walk everywhere. It suits fewer luxury seekers (finishes are mid-market), fewer pool people and fewer light sleepers on lower floors facing the boulevard. The hotels hub compares it with the Flamingo, Planet Hollywood and the Cosmopolitan.
Parking, fees and getting there
Self-parking is in the garage behind the resort off Audrie Street, shared with Horseshoe. Caesars charges non-guests and most guests a daily fee, roughly $18 to $25 as of 2026, with exemptions for Caesars Rewards Platinum and above and Nevada residents; valet is at the main entrance. Check the Caesars parking page for the current rate.
The Bally's/Paris monorail station (still named for the old Bally's) is at the back of the property, linking to MGM Grand in the south and the convention center and Sahara in the north. From LAS, a rideshare takes 15 to 20 minutes and costs $20 to $30. On foot, Bellagio is 10 minutes across the bridge, Planet Hollywood 5 minutes south, Horseshoe and the Flamingo 5 to 10 minutes north indoors, Caesars Palace 15 minutes, the LINQ Promenade 10 to 12. It is one of the easiest hotels to walk from, as the Strip hub explains.
