Eiffel Tower Tour
At a little more than half the size of the real Eiffel tower, the Eiffel Tower at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas is very similar to the real thing. From the top you’ll get a commanding view of the Las Vegas Strip and the nearby Bellagio fountains. The draw to see the fountain show from this vantage point is strong and for this reason lines can be long during show times. Visitor can stay as long as they like however the price of admission is a tad pricey at $9.
Another option instead of taking the Eiffel Tower Tour is to take the seperate elevator to the 11th story bar and restaurant. The dress of the restaurant is upscale so dress accordingly.
Here is additional information about the Las Vegas Paris Hotel. You can also reach the tower by phone at (702)946-7000 – Admission on Monday through Thursday for adults is $9, seniors and children 6-12 is $7, children under 6 free. Admission on Friday through Sunday is $12 for adults, $9 for seniors and children aged 6-12 and free for children under 6.
Paris Las Vegas used the original blueprint almost 12 years ago. The original plan was to build it full scaled, but figure it would be to close to Pat McCarren airport. So what you looking at is a 540ft. 165meters tower half scaled. They built the tower first then the hotel. That’s why you see 3 of the 4 legs in the casino floor. They broke ground Apr.17, 1997 and opened September. 1 1999, at a cost of 785 million dollars. It only took 2yrs.5 mos. To complete. Once your at the top you its like being in a big bird cage. You see all 84.2 sq. miles. And the Sierra Nevada right in front of you. Beautiful view gotta see it.
The Bellagio sits where the famous Sands and golf once sat. The Dunes opened May 23, 1955 but turn their Lights outs In 91. Steven Wynn imploded the Dunes October. 27, 1993 to make room for the 1.7 billion dollars Bellagio which opened October.15,1998
