Paris Las Vegas puts a half-scale Eiffel Tower, a casino under a painted sky, a two-acre pool and French-themed restaurants across the street from the Bellagio fountains. The renovated Versailles Tower adds newer rooms, including a small set with private balconies, which are rare on the Strip.
Paris Las Vegas is on the east side of the center Strip, directly across Las Vegas Boulevard from Bellagio, and it is one of the easiest Strip hotels for first-time visitors to enjoy. Rooms are split between two towers. The Bordeaux Tower is the original, with about 2,900 rooms, about 1,600 of which were renovated in 2019. The Versailles Tower is the former Jubilee Tower of next-door Horseshoe, rebuilt in a project of more than $100 million and joined to Paris by a pedestrian bridge.
It has 756 redesigned rooms, including 38 west-facing balcony rooms with Strip views, which are rare in Las Vegas. Versailles rooms are the safer bet for a consistently updated room, while Bordeaux fountain-view rooms win on the view.
The 541-foot Eiffel Tower replica is the centerpiece. The viewing deck looks straight down on the Bellagio fountains, and the tower runs a free light show every 30 minutes from sunset to midnight. Fountain-view rooms in the Bordeaux Tower are worth paying for if you are celebrating. The Pool à Paris is a two-acre deck beneath the tower with cabanas and a cafe, open on a seasonal schedule.
Voie Spa & Salon covers 25,000 square feet. Paris also co-hosts the World Series of Poker with Horseshoe, so expect busy poker rooms and crowded hallways in early summer. The Strip-front plaza is a popular photo spot, so go early in the morning if you want it without crowds.
Dining leans French and celebrity-chef. Gordon Ramsay Steak is known for its Beef Wellington. Mon Ami Gabi has a Strip-side patio facing the fountains, the Eiffel Tower Restaurant sits 100 feet above the boulevard, and Nobu, The Bedford by Martha Stewart and Dominique Ansel Marché round out the list. Chéri is a rooftop bar inside the tower base, and Vanderpump à Paris is a cocktail lounge.
The trade-offs
Bordeaux Tower rooms vary in condition, the casino gets crowded, parking is paid and a nightly resort fee is added to the rate. During the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend (held each November) the stretch outside Paris is part of the event zone, with road closures and very high rates.
