We've stayed many times at the Paris Las Vegas, but our most recent stays have seen the place go down hill. Because this hotel does not require room cards to access the hotel elevators, we saw female strangers knocking on doors trying to get into rooms. They ran down the corridor when I inquired what they were doing. Hotel security was somewhat slow to respond on the first day, but security was present on the second day. They escorted away an incoherent transient, who was "looking" for his room key on our floor. The security people knew him by his first name, so he'd obviously been around the Paris rooms before. We're surprised Paris has let the situation go so far.

The room (at over $200 a night) had what I thought was a musty smell, but my spouse said it was a residual formaldehyde smell from the new carpets. Not the greatest for one's health. The smoking from the casino patrons was also exceptionally bad this time. Not enough air filtration to handle the crowds.

Our favorite in the past was the Village Buffet, which has now cut back or eliminated several dishes. The staff doles out small amounts of some pricier food items, so the buffet is constantly running out -- even on a slow Sunday evening. Dinner at the Eiffel Tower restaurant was outstanding, but very expensive.

We'll be looking to stay next time at the Venetian or one of the newly opened hotels in Las Vegas. Aurevior, Paris!

We have stayed in Vegas 6 times and at a variety of hotels from the Flamingo, Caesars, Platinum, and yes event the imperial way back when!! The Paris is a location we spend a lot of time at so we thought we would try it.

Check In: No problem, we used the phone in service and our room was ready. We asked for a renovated room which had a view of Bally’s, no up charge.

Room: Clean, well decorated however it was renovated and still looked old and a bit tired. Beds average for comfort. Daily service no concerns. This is one of two main concerns was the rooms are bland and in need of major upgrading. To me it depends what you pay. We average 150 per night so no complaints however if I was paying 250 and upwards I would not be happy with these rooms.

Casino/Services: All great, friendly staff clean.

Restaurants: Good choice of restaurants particulary the filet at Mon Ami and sitting on the deck. Room service was fine, slow, of average quality. The brassiere had good pub food however there are so many great spots in Vegas to eat so we tend to avoid the casual spots. Try Daniel Bouchard in the Wynn.

Spa: Treatments great. Atmosphere poor. The front desk woman chatted and the quiet charis/lounge are right beside this. Also new guest present to this desk and you can hear it all. Bright and not relaxing. Spa area was very dated décor. Gym was fine.

Pool: Fine décor and size however as most hotels in Vegas they play music all day. Mid week I was used to it and could read and fall asleep however on the weekends starting Friday they bring in speakers and loud house music with a DJ. I know the atmosphere is for a party however they need to advertise this as this was why we stayed away from another hotel. If you want to read and get some sun it’s impossible, it’s even hard to hear yourself talk so if you don’t want to party and are nursing a hang over the music is LOUD. By day 2 we just went with it and had drinks but it was annoying as I see the pool as a relaxation place.

Overall I would stay here again if the price was right but I would chose another hotel if the rates were high. For example the Bellagio was average 215 and I would try there before coming back to the Paris. I would also look for a hotel where the pool music is optional for the party scene.

The location is excellent on the Strip, in that it is very centrally located. Good for checking out all the well known hotel casinos, in any direction from the hotel.

Paris Las Vegas is interesting/different - very pseudo (fake) Paris
which you may like, you may not, depending on how you feel about Paris, France and what your expectations are for Las Vegas. It's a good mid-range hotel. Many restaurant choices, something for everyone. We especially liked the bakery, the creperie and the breakfast buffet. I only have one of the 3 names
at my finger tips, LeNotre. We were disappointed in one restaurant. Mon Ami Gobi, recommended for the views of the Bellagio fountains. The French onion soup was not authentic and rather awful, really.

We loved the central location and walked all over the Strip checking out many well known hotel/casino properties. We also took the free shuttle to the Rio to see Penn and Teller.

If you want to explore the Strip, you need very good walking shoes and lots of stamina, each property is HUGE, or, you will need to take short taxi trips. You cannot just walk across the Strip from any location, there are barricades/medians/divides and lots of heavy traffic. It's a very long walk to a crosswalk or a pedestrian bridge. You may need to take a taxi to get across the street (Seriously.... down one side and then a U-turn)

Or, you can spend all your time in Paris Las Vegas, (and on the same side of the Strip) it's a self-contained, full service resort. You don't need to leave unless you want to explore. If you want to shop, the Miracle Mile, your typical mall is next door. Upscale shops are in nearby properties including the Bellagio and Ceasar's Palace (but they are "across" the street). Again, plan on lots of walking, through crowds, or very short taxi trips.

The hotel pool area is very large, plenty of room for everyone.
As another reviewer mentioned, loud music was played in the late afternoon which drove me back indoors. The hot tubs were small, a little crowded and a little worn/worse for the wear.

The deluxe room was OK, on the 17th floor, bathroom extremely large and probably recently renovated. We declined a check-in offer to pay an additional $80 to be upgraded to a room with a great view of the Strip and so we had a lousy view out the back - but that was our choice. We felt we had already paid what we wanted to, for a room.

Another reviewer mentioned an express check-in which can be arranged only on the morning of your arrival, by phone and which cannot be used 11 or 12 noon. (Study previous reviews/hotel website carefully). Definitely make arrangements
for this expres check-in (by phone) in advance of your arrival, or plan on waiting in a line for a good 15 to 30 minutes or more when hordes of people descend upon the front desk. It's just a very, very large resort. If all stations are manned, the long line should move quickly. Very similar to a long check-in at an airport.
Plan on lots of time for check-out as well, or, use express check-out. Each day, review your bill on the TV screen so you'll be prepared to use express check-out.

It's really, really easy to get lost in the lobby, casino, hallways and boulevards. Plan on lots of extra time for getting lost, walking in the wrong direction (indoors) and especially for meeting up with others. Plan on group meeting points, cell phones and lots of asking the staff for help/directions. It's all very confusing.

We liked trying out the Monorail one night, taking it from one end to the other and back again to see all the lights at nighttime.
Again, LOTS of walking. The closest stop/entrance is in the hotel next door (Bally's), but it's a very long walk from the front of Bally's hotel to the Monorail. It runs all along the BACK of the properties, quite some distance from the hotels. It would be OK, if you can walk a great distance from the front through to the back of the properties with stops on the route. If you're not actually going to a hotel directly on the route forget it, and use the sidewalk out front or a taxi. We thought it was fun to try out one night to see the lights at night, but otherwise, too far out back to be truly practical. There are many escalators involved, so
it did not seem to be wheelchair accessible.

Finally, maid service, very prompt on the first days (mid-week),
really, really late on the weekend (as in mid to late afternoon).
Again, it's a large place. Try calling housekeeping to see if
you can get improved service. Try tipping well on a daily basis
and speaking to the maid directly. It might help, it might not.
Room service - we had a good lunch in the room mid-day, but here is another issue a previous reviewer mentioned. Each morning we would see room service trays/plates/carts outside
many rooms in the hallway (many people did not want to wait in the long lines at the restaurants). All day we went in and out of our rooms and the used trays/plates/carts remained in the hallway all afternoon, leaving an odor and obstacles to step past/around. This is where the most improvement is needed,
clearing away the dirty dishes and carts from the hallways much
more promptly. I've stayed in hotels where you were requested to phone for removal as soon as you were finished. The hotel knows who ordered room service. Come back and check the
hallways in 60 minutes and every 30 to 60 minutes thereafter.
How long does it take to eat inside a hotel room.

We just returned from a long weekend at Paris Las Vegas. It was great. The hotel was very clean and everyone was very friendly.
We ate at the buffet every morning for breakfast. It was huge and had anything and everything you wanted. My favorite would have to be the crepe station.
The decor is beautiful and you have to take a trip to the top of the Effiel Tower at night.
