We were lured to Paris Las Vegas by it's smaller size, and by online reviews which raved about the service and quality of the rooms. Sadly, neither is true of this hotel/casino. Here's a list of our problems in a short 2 day stay.

1. Not so sweet suite - We asked to upgrade from the standard room to a suite, we were told that we could do that for just $85.00, which seemed like a deal because we were told the standard price for the suite was $550.00 per night. We were slightly disappointed in the size when we opened the door, for a suite it's the smallest one I've ever seen. In fact, it's not even as large as a large regular hotel room in many hotels. Add to that fact the small 25" non digital useless TV, and we were glad that most of our entertainment would be outside the room.

2. Holy bedsheet Batman! That's right, holes in our bedsheets. The first set was fine, but when they changed the sheets they put on sheets with holes in them, large enough holes that my wife's toes got caught in one as she slept, lol. If these are the sheets for the 550 a night room, I wonder what the standard rooms get, plastic tarps?

3. Shocked again - The outlet by the sink in the room tripped it's GFCI breaker any time something got plugged into the bottom plug.

4. We wanted to see a show in the hotel during our stay, so we went to the shows and tours desk when we first arrived. We were informed that the cost of the show was $58.00 per person, and no discounts were available. We told the person we would wait and come back, she informed us that we'd better hurry because the show sells out quickly, we distinctly got the feeling of a hard sell being pushed. We went back to the same desk a few hours later, a different person was working, and we inquired if show tickets were still available. She said they were, and she asked if we were staying at the hotel. When we said yes she said we get a discount of two for one.

5. Our second night no turndown service, no towels were picked up, no nothing.

6. Worst of all, when we presented this same list to the front desk as we checked out, it was blown off completely. The clerk said "I'll pass it along to the manager". No apologies, no nothing.

Not only will we never stay at Paris Las Vegas again, we'll probably never go to Vegas again at all due to this experience. The only good thing was that we only lost $6.00 in their casino!

If driving to Paris, the first choice is Valet or Self-Park. We chose to self park which was a mistake - the trip from the car park to the reception desk and then back to the lifts was a very long one with no sign of a porter anywhere (we had a lot of luggage as this was one stop on a trip) and it was through the fake Parisian street scene so involved battling through the people -a bad start (so valet park...)

On checking in they offered an upgrade from a 380 sq ft room to a 750 sq ft room. They wanted $80 a night. That seemed okay to me - I did ask for a room facing Bellagio - but was turned down - perhaps ask to get breakfast thrown in or perhaps an upgrade to a higher class of room for the same price. I don't have any fancy Player's club status, so others may be luckier.

The room itself was good - it had a slight view of the Arc de Triomphe and of the MGM which was okay. Very spacious, big bathroom with sizeable spa bath. The upgrade was worth it I thought. There was a fridge, but strangely, no minibar.

The Parisian theme was fun - but if you've been to Paris don't expect too much authenticity, it is "Paris, Las Vegas" not "Paris, France" - the "Pont Alexander III Bridge" is a good example of this...

The casino itself is lit in a perma-dull daylight and is a bit confusing to find you way through initially.

In short, I'd recommend Paris - but I'd also look at Bellagio and Venetian as other truly central strip locations.

We stayed at Paris with 4 other couples over the last weekend in December. Paris is a beautiful hotel with a compact but wonderful casino. The rooms were spacious. We were not in updated in rooms but liked them very much. The linens were worn but that was minor. We really enjoyed the location. This hotel connects with Bally's so it was very easy to move around and sample the gambling!

One item to point out - there was no "check-in" line. There was a sign labeled check-out. That was actually the check-in/out line! It moved quickly and check-in took about 20 minutes. We arrived about 11am. Three of the five rooms were ready - two couples paid for upgraded views. Those rooms were not ready until much later in the afternoon.

We will be back to the Paris Hotel!!

This was probably my fourth stay at Paris on a comp. For the Harrah's properties, this is probably their best. Caesars is good, but you have to watch which tower they'll book you in. At least with Paris there's a guarantee of what kind of basic room you'll receive.

Parking is a decent walk from the garage to the hotel elevators and registration. Check-in always seems as if it's insanely longer and more time consuming than it needs to be at Harrah's properties. It's as if the employees at check-in are starting from scratch looking for your reservation. Regardless it's expected at this point and I took my room keys.

Found the room to be typical of the Paris, clean, modern and stylish accomodations. The bathroom is all marble making a very comfortable experience.

The bedding is kind of average. Nothing like the chain hotels that are in a race to have the best bedding. Paris' is just average with a sheet and a blanket.

As far as the hotel's common areas, it seems that they can become very crowded with people. Especially at breakfast time as the restaurants are full and the buffet line is out the door. The guestroom floors are nice and quiet, but the casino level can seem to be very loud and congested.

I've found the Cox internet service to be intermittent. It can be frustrating if trying to stay online for a long time. Internet access is in the $12-13 range.
