Eiffel Tower Experience Review

The Eiffel Tower at the Paris Las Vegas is a half-scale reproduction of the famous original in Paris, France. An elevator rides takes visitors from the casino floor to an observation level 460 feet high (the tower is 540 feet tall).

The Stratosphere's observation deck is twice as high as the one here. However, because of the Eiffel tower's location in the middle of the strip, it's easier to identify individual landmarks, and if your timing is good, you can watch the Bellagio's famous Fountain Show from a bird's-eye seat.

If you are afraid of heights, you should know that the elevator has a glass door that looks out over the city during the 90-second ride up. The observation level is well-contained, with welded mesh covering the openings (with small holes cut in it to allow unobstructed photographs). It can be quite chilly at the top in winter when the wind is blowing.

The Eiffel Tower Restaurant (reservations required) is located on the eleventh floor.

The panoramic views from the top of the tower make it well worth the admission price. Don't forget to bring your camera.

Getting to the Paris Las Vegas

The Paris is located in the middle section of Las Vegas Boulevard (the Strip), near the intersection of Flamingo Boulevard and Las Vegas Boulevard, across from the Bellagio.
