My husband & I stayed @ the Paris for 5 nights. The reviews were pretty good so we thought we'd try it for our first time to Vegas. The hotel is very pretty, classy looking & centrally located. The king sized bed we requested, was not available the day we arrived but they said call back to the front desk the next day & they would se what they could do. We did & we accepted an accessible ( handicapped) room. It had a tub but not a separate shower like most other rooms. It was fine w/ us. That room was large & comfortable. Housekeeping was prompt & friendly. We had an ok view but nothing great since we did not upgrade. We did not use the pool but we checked it out 1 day & there was not any loud music like listed previously by a reviewer.

The hotel & casino lobby is one of the busiest we saw on the strip. It was always very crowded & very smoky. Including cigars. Yuck, but the smoking is like that all over. Plus, Paris has a cigar store in house too. Once you get thru that, its not too bad. The elevators were different since we're not used to staying in high-rises. It had 2 sets of elevators one for floors 1-15 ( or so ) and the other for 16-25, in different locations. Kind of confusing since there is so much to look at there. The self-parking garage is in the rear of the hotel & is free, like most in Vegas but if you arrive late in the day like we did, jet lagged & exhausted, its hard to figure out. When you turn into the hotel, and want to self park & not use bellhops, keep to the far right & the garage is on the left. There are elevators that go to the casino but its a good haul & probably worth it to have them bring up your bags but we were too cheap!

Our biggest issue was when we wanted to do a late check-out since our flight was not until after 10 pm. We called days in advance to see if this was possible & no one would give us a straight answer. It was always call back later. Finally, I got mad & questioned the person who answered the phone & said this was the 3rd time we called to no avail. She said that I had to call back after 7 am of the day of departure & then its up to the manager on call and it depends on if they are @ full capacity. She couldn't or wouldn't tell me how much it would be. Once again, it was up to the mgr on call. We finally gave up. Also, use the hotel tv for express check out. Lines can be awful there checking in or out but we noticed this is a common problem where ever we went.

We ate @ one of the restaurants in Paris, it was one right by the casino. It was one of the more reasonably priced places there. We got sandwiches & appetizers & it was very good. We ate @ LaSalsa on the strip too and it was very good as well. Service was not top rate @ either but it was ok.

All in all, we enjoyed our stay there & would stay there again. We thought the location of the hotel was a huge plus. We walked to the other end of the strip and the Paris side is cleaner, newer & classier.

We visit Las Vegas every year in May, and try to stay at a different hotel each visit. This year we stayed at Paris Hotel and Casino, directly on Las Vegas Boulevard. It's curbside eye appeal is realistic, from the fountain, Eifel Tower, outside dining, and the music. Inside the hotel, the ceiling is painted sky blue, which gives the impression of being outdoors. There are many different places to eat, inside and outside. That said, we found the front desk staff very unfriendly, not receptive to our questions, and they did not give us directions when we got our room key. The reception area is very congested, and very close to the outside door, and casino, so you are always dodging people with suitcases, people trying to eat, people standing around looking, etc. Upon arriving in our room, it was nothing but average. The walls were thin, you could hear people coughing in the next room, and if you are at late sleeper....(who isn't in Las Vegas), you get to wake up to the sounds of the maids yelling back and forth to each other in the hallway as they clean rooms.

All in all, the stay was average. Upon check out, we went to the VIP lounge and talked to the casino host, who gave us money off our hotel stay, based on our rate of playing the slot machines. At least that helped ease the pain.

The restaurants are superb, the bartenders are great, and the live entertainment is awesome. Last year we stayed at the sister property of Bally's (owned by the Harrah group also) and would definitely stay there over the Paris next time. Paris is much better to visit then to stay overnight in.

My husband and I stayed at Paris from April 21 - 27. We arrived around noon and a room wasn't ready yet, so the front desk clerk took our cell phone number and called us when it was ready, which was within the hour. I am a diamond card holder and they have a separate room for check in for diamond and seven star card holders, so there wasn't any wait.

Our room was on the 27th floor, the view wasn't great (we looked out on other hotels and the mountains were in the distance), but we weren't there for the view. Our room was a decent size, spotless, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was above average size, there were plenty of drawers and closets for storing everything, and there was a coffee maker and safe. Housekeeping was in before 1pm every day and was exceptional. There were never any trays left in the hallway for any length of time. When we left in the morning, if there was a breakfast tray in the hallway it was gone when we returned a few hours later.

All the employees we encountered were very pleasant, helpful and always had a smile on their face. The only problem was the wait for drinks while at the slots (but this seemed to be the same in all the casinos we were in)

We had breakfast at Le Village Buffet, which has everything you could possible want on it, and the food was very good (especially the crepes). There were always lines to get in, but again, being a diamond card holder we never had to wait. We also had breakfast at Cafe le Parc, which was also delicious. We ate dinner one night at Mon Ami Gabi and sat outside, which I think is the best place to be. The French onion soup was great and the creme brulee was the best. Service was excellent.

The location of Paris is perfect. We did walk alot of the strip and also used the monorail a couple of days. One night we went to Fremont Street, took the monorail to the Sahara and then a taxi to downtown. Be careful of the taxi's - they take a roundabout way to get places. It cost $14 to get to Fremont Street and $17 to get back to the Sahara.

If you need to print a boarding pass for your return flight, use the business center (between Paris and Ballys). They copied our flight information and the day before we left they printed it and we picked it up. They charged $5, and it was well worth it. We also did a pre check out the night before and all we had to do was leave the keys in our room, which saved time.

I can't compare Paris to any other hotel, since this was our first trip to Vegas, but I can't say anything bad about it.

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!
