A half-scale model of the Eiffel Tower landmarks Paris Las Vegas, an ode to French savoir faire, complete with a copy of the Arc de Triomphe and costumed landscape painters fronting the Strip-side pavilion. Its charms continue inside, where three legs of the Eiffel rest in the casino and a cobblestone street winds its way through the shopping arcade. Rooms underscore the theme with French fabrics and custom furniture. Request a Strip view to see the dancing Bellagio fountains across the street. Most of the restaurants here are French, including the charming Mon Ami Gabi, which features outdoor dining on a Las Vegas Boulevard terrace that offers prime people-watching.
