Things to Do at Paris Las Vegas, From the Eiffel Tower to the Casino Floor
Paris Las Vegas sits almost exactly in the middle of the Strip, directly across from the Bellagio Fountains, which makes it one of the easiest hotels to build a day around even if you’re not staying there. The half-scale Eiffel Tower out front isn’t just a photo prop either; you can actually ride up it. I’ve spent plenty of afternoons and evenings wandering this property over the years, and there’s more going on here than most people expect from a hotel they mostly know for its facade. Here’s a rundown of the best things to do at Paris Las Vegas, whether you’re staying here or just stopping by.
The main draws at Paris Las Vegas are the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck, the casino floor, and a strong lineup of restaurants that includes Gordon Ramsay Steak and Mon Ami Gabi’s fountain-view patio. Add in Chateau Nightclub, Beer Park’s rooftop, and Voie Spa, and you’ve got enough to fill a full day without ever leaving the property. Ticket prices for the tower start around $27, and most other attractions here are free to walk through.
Ride to the Top of the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck
The Eiffel Tower here is a half-scale replica of the original, standing 540 feet tall with a viewing deck near the 46th floor. It’s been part of the Strip since Paris Las Vegas opened in 1999, and Caesars Entertainment has operated it ever since. A glass elevator takes you up in about a minute, and once you’re up there, you get a genuinely good 360-degree view of the Strip, including a straight shot down onto the Bellagio Fountains. Adult tickets start around $27, though the exact price shifts depending on the date and time slot you book, and tickets stay valid for three days if your plans change.
The deck is open daily from noon to midnight, with last entry at 11:30 p.m. In my experience, sunset is the best window to go; you get the daytime desert view first, then watch the whole Strip light up over the next twenty minutes or so. There’s also a free light show on the tower itself every 30 minutes from sunset until midnight, visible from the sidewalk if you’d rather skip the ticket.
Try Your Luck on the Casino Floor
Paris Las Vegas has one of the more atmospheric casino floors on the Strip, laid out like a Parisian streetscape with cobblestone-style walkways running between the gaming tables. You’ll find more than 1,700 slot machines along with blackjack, craps, baccarat, roulette, and even horse racing and keno if you want something less common.
It’s not the biggest casino on the Strip, but it doesn’t feel cramped either, and the theming makes it more enjoyable to walk through than most. If you’re not planning to gamble at all, it’s still worth cutting through on your way to dinner or the tower elevator just to see the layout. The painted sky ceiling overhead is a small detail a lot of first-time visitors miss entirely, so it’s worth glancing up as you walk through.
Where to Eat at Paris Las Vegas
Fine Dining
Gordon Ramsay Steak is the splurge option here, with a five-course tasting menu running close to $200 per person; it’s not cheap, but I’d call it one of the better tasting menus on the Strip for the price. The Eiffel Tower Restaurant sits partway up the tower itself and leans more romantic than steakhouse, which makes it a popular pick for anniversaries and proposals. Both restaurants take reservations, and you’ll want one, especially for the Eiffel Tower Restaurant given the limited seating inside the structure.
Casual and Rooftop
Mon Ami Gabi is the one people actually plan trips around. It’s a French bistro with patio seating that looks straight across at the Bellagio fountains, so timing a meal around a fountain show is worth doing. Alexxa’s (formerly Hexx Kitchen + Bar) covers casual American food and a solid cocktail list for brunch or dinner.
Beer Park upstairs works more as a rooftop sports bar than a sit-down restaurant, with good Strip views and a livelier crowd. One thing worth knowing: Le Village Buffet, which used to be the property’s main buffet, has permanently closed, so don’t plan your trip around it the way older guides still suggest.
Catch the Nightlife at Chateau Nightclub and Beer Park
Chateau Nightclub and Rooftop sits above the casino with a view straight down the Strip, and it runs more upscale than most Vegas clubs, with bottle service and a dress code that’s worth checking before you go.
Beer Park, on the other end of the property, is the more relaxed option: think sports on the big screens, a rooftop patio, and a crowd that’s there to watch a game or the fountains rather than dance. Between the two, you’ve got a legitimate night-out option without leaving the hotel, which matters if you’re not up for hopping between properties after a long day on the Strip.
Unwind at Voie Spa and Salon
Voie Spa and Salon is a quieter stop if the casino floor and nightlife start to wear on you. It offers standard spa treatments along with couples massages, which fits the romantic branding the whole property leans into. It’s not the flashiest spa on the Strip, but it’s convenient if you’re already staying at Paris Las Vegas and don’t want to cross the street for a treatment.
Soak in the Parisian Architecture and Shopping
Even if you skip every paid attraction, walking the property itself is worth ten or fifteen minutes. There’s a half-scale Arc de Triomphe near the entrance, a facade modeled on the Paris Opera House, and touches pulled from the Louvre scattered through the design. The shopping promenade continues the theme with a cobblestone-style walkway and storefronts styled to look like a European street rather than a Vegas mall corridor.
It won’t fool anyone into thinking they’re actually in France, but it’s genuinely one of the more photogenic corners of the Strip, especially with the tower lit up behind it at night. If you want a photo of the full tower without craning your neck, stand across the street near the Bellagio side of the Strip; that’s also roughly where the fountain crowds gather, so you can catch both in one stop.

Examples of Only-in-Vegas Parisian Touches
A few details make this property more than just a themed shell:
- The half-scale Eiffel Tower, built at 540 feet, roughly five-eighths the height of the original in Paris.
- The Arc de Triomphe replica near the main entrance, scaled down but detailed enough to stop people for photos.
- Gold-trimmed elevators throughout the property styled after early 1900s Parisian design, which feels more like a design choice than a gimmick once you’re actually inside one.
- The rooftop view from Beer Park, where you can see both the Eiffel Tower replica and the real Strip skyline in the same frame.
- Mon Ami Gabi’s patio, timed right, gives you a bistro dinner with the Bellagio fountains going off across the street, which is about as Vegas as a “Parisian” meal gets.
Is Paris Las Vegas Worth Visiting Even If You’re Not Staying There?
Yes, and this is actually where the property makes the most sense for a lot of visitors. Because it sits almost dead-center on the Strip, across from Bellagio and next to the Cosmopolitan, Planet Hollywood, and Caesars Palace, it works as a stop on foot rather than a destination you plan a whole day around. You can ride the tower, grab dinner at Mon Ami Gabi, and walk back out onto the Strip in under two hours. Guests staying elsewhere do this constantly, especially around sunset when the tower’s light show and the Bellagio Fountains line up well together.
Practical Tips for Visiting Paris Las Vegas
Check-in at Paris Las Vegas still runs the traditional way: you’ll go to the front desk or a kiosk, and during busy periods, especially holidays, the line can take well over an hour. If you’re not staying at the hotel, none of this affects you, but it’s worth knowing if you’re booking a room here. The Bellagio Fountain Show, visible from parts of the property and definitely from Mon Ami Gabi’s patio, typically runs every 30 minutes from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and every 15 minutes from 7 p.m. to midnight on weekdays, with weekend shows starting around noon, so it’s worth timing a meal or a walk-by around one.
If you’re spending money anywhere on the property, I always tell people to sign up for a Caesars Rewards card first; it’s free, and the discounts and comps add up fast even over a short trip. The property is also fully walkable to Bellagio, the Cosmopolitan, and Caesars Palace, so you don’t need a car or rideshare to hotel-hop nearby. Self-parking and valet are both available if you’re driving in, though like most Strip resorts, valet gets busy fast on weekend evenings, so budget extra time or default to self-parking if you’re not in a rush. And if you forgot a charger or basic toiletries, there’s a CVS pharmacy within walking distance next door.
