Features
What to expect: In addition to the Eiffel Tower and a two-thirds-scale Arc de Triomphe, the resort meticulously adheres to a 1920s Paris theme right down to restroom pedestal sinks. The 34-story hotel replicates Paris City Hall, the elegant Hôtel de Ville with its distinctive blue top. The shopping/dining mall and casino simulate the outdoors with storefronts, street lamps, paving-stone paths, and sky-like ceilings. Amenity highlights: A two-acre pool complex on the casino rooftop includes a massive, heated pool open year-round and two oval, 12-person spas secluded in a formal French garden. For-rent cabanas come with telephone, television, and ceiling fan. The Eiffel Tower replica soars above the complex, which contains a platform for photographing the Tower against the sky. Insider tip: Without reservations or having to buy dinner, guests enjoy the Eiffel Tower Restaurant's Strip views by visiting the restaurant's lounge, which features specialty martinis and enforces a no-jeans-or-shorts rule.
