Check in: We checked in on a Saturday late afternoon, July 5th, and it went very quickly and smoothly.

Room: Other reviews are right...the beds are VERY hard! Yet, neither my mom, who is 55 with arthritis, or I woke up sore from the beds. But, the beds had nice feather comforters on them, not the crappy thick, old cotton ones you often get at like a Holiday Inn. We could not get one of the renovated rooms, so we were in an older room. However, the room looked amazing for being an "old" room. The shower and bath tub were separate, so that was nice, and the bathroom had plenty of space and amenities. The decor was very nice and fitting too! Everything from the hotel lobby, walkways, room, bathrooms, etc. was EXTREMELY clean. I'm a clean freak, and it impressed me. Our room faced the construction, but we could still see MGM, Mandalay Bay, and PH. It costs $65 to upgrade to a room with a complete view of the strip, but we didn't do that. We were only in the room to sleep or change clothes, so the view wasn't a concern.

Pool: Some people in past reviews complained about the pool, and I see why, but it was still amazing to me. The pool wasn't anything fancy like some of the cool designs of other hotels' pools, but it was still amazing just because of the view. The pool is a big octagon with plenty of surrounding space & chairs and fun, current music. It's right next to the Eiffel Tower (the base of it is literally right next to the pool area), and straight ahead of the pool you look at Caesars (it's not behind the hotel like most pools). It was a very nice setting, even though it didn't have a lazy river or cool waterfalls. I loved it because laying out is one of my fav. things to do, so it made the hotel worth staying!! You get a free towel by the pool and drink/food wait staff too.

Tips: If you're going to watch TV a lot (which I assume few people will!), don't stay here because other than FOX and a few crappy sitcom channels, you only get Asian speaking channels, Paris hotel promotions channels, and channels that teach you how to play different games/slots. Also, my mom is a huge coffee drinker, and the room did not have a coffee pot. It cost her $13 to order a pot of coffee! As for the stocked, in-room fridge...be careful! If you take any item out of it for 45 seconds or longer, you automatically get charged for it because it has sensors that detect when items disappear. My mom bought a bottled water downstairs (there is a little convenient shop by bottom elevators) and put it in an empty slot in our fridge (from a bottled Gatorade I previously drank), but when she took it out to drink, she got charged for it because the sensors assumed she took a fridge item out, not something we already bought! So, needless to say, you cannot store anything in the room fridge.

Casino: Everytime I went to the casino, not many people were playing cards, but they always were at Bally's. The slots weren't very loose, so we hardly played there.

Overall: I really enjoyed it because of the atmosphere and pool. I would stay again, but I would look at other hotels too because hard beds are just ridiculous, and I want a fridge where I can store my own food/drinks because it's too expensive to buy every drink/food from a pre-stocked fridge or restaurant. If you see random people on the walkways selling bottled water for $1, take it! It's just the cheap spring water they prob. get for 30 cents a bottle, but it beats paying $5-6 bucks elsewhere! Just make sure the safety cap hasn't been busted! :) It seems like the hotels try to get you to pay for every little thing, which is ridiculous, because we would spend more money gambling if we weren't paying outrageous prices for other things! The location is perfect!

I loved this hotel. It was a perfect locations, lots to do and beautiful! I had a strip view and I could see the fountains right outside my window. Went up in the eiffel tower. Enjoyed everything there, plus they have the best breakfast buffet in vegas!

My husband and I, as well as 2 other couple friends visited Paris Las Vegas for the 3 days before the 4th of July. The rates were great - about $80 each night booked directly through the hotel's website, using a link I found on Facebook. (I wasn't able to find this rate just searching through the Paris website, which was a bit frustrating.)

This was my 3rd time in Vegas -- other times I stayed at the Venetian (on business) and MGM Signature (for my bachelorette party). I was really looking forward to staying at Paris, but was disappointed.

We were on the 19th floor - a nonsmoking floor. But, our bathroom smelled like cigarettes. Same issue for one of the other couples with whom we traveled. It was almost unbearable the first night. I think the smoke traveled through the vents, and housekeeping had our bathroom door closed, so it was "stuck" in the bathroom. Once we kept the door open, it dissipated a bit on the other days. We couldn't change rooms because they didn't have any other king rooms available (which seemed odd).

There were certain things that I expect of a hotel of this calliber, but were missing: robes and coffee machines in the room. There are also extras that would have made it better - not necessary, but "would be nices": a little refrigerator that we could use (the minibar was timed, and if you moved anything, within 45 seconds you'd be charged for it) and an iPod docking station. At MGM Signature, every room gets 2 bottles of water a day - really nice when it's 108 degrees! Also, being in the desert in June/July, I would have assumed that the hotel would provide body or hand lotion (along with the shampoo, conditioner, etc.). While I brought some, my husband was not too keen on using my "glittered" body lotion! It'd be so easy for them to provide this!While none of these are obviously deal-breakers, it was frustrating that we were at a "Luxury hotel" without any real luxuries - even missing basics that I could get at the Courtyard by Marriott!

The parking garage seems to be really far from reception. I'd recommend valet parking.

We ate at 2 restuarants there: the deli-type place, where we had a chicken salad sandwich & soup, and at Le Village, the buffet. The deli was disappointing. How do you have a french deli without a brie sandwich? I'll be posting another review for Le Village, but I would definitely recommend it (just pace yourself!)

We spent the first afternoon at the pool. It's on the 3rd floor and can get a bit windy. We rented 2 rafts ($15 each) for 4 of us to share. The pool was much more subdued than the one at MGM - different clientele, apparently. The frozen drinks were good (a bit pricey at $18 each for a large) -- just be sure to drink it before it melts -- once that happens, it's like drinking strawberry syrup...

The very central location was great, and the bloody mary at the little kiosk bar in the little village was fantastic! I also really enjoyed my strawberry daquiri in the ceramic hotair balloon!

Overall, for the price, it was definitely a steal. But, for a higher price, I'd prefer to try something new or go back to MGM Signature.

We were a family party staying in three rooms for three nights. Our rooms averaged $144 per night incl tax, booked through the hotel website.
We got 8th floor rooms facing the Eiffel tower and pool, no view of the strip as too low down however you really do get the atmosphere when you get this view as opposed to other parts of the complex that don’t look out towards the tower. The check in person said we could upgrade to views of the Strip for an extra $70 per night. We declined this offer.

Good central location near bus stop and opposite the Bellagio fountains
With the 100 degree heat everyday we were there the best aspect of this hotel is the central location, there is a bus stop just outside the hotel that has the Deuce, double decker bus that takes you up and down the strip and into downtown – tickets $5 for 24 hours. By having it right outside you don’t get too hot and bothered before your day has even started.

The other great thing about this hotel is that you can catch the Bellagio fountains across the road several times. These fountains must be the most beautiful fountains in the world. The highlight of the trip for us was seeing those fountains. They go from 12pm till 12 am. Half hourly until 6 I think and then every 15 minutes. We quite often would go out for the evening and then get back to the hotel about 11pm and watch a few sessions of the fountain.

Food outlets are decent
The hotel is midrange, the food outlets are pretty good, buffet breakfast was great for $14.99 incl drinks, a bit of a queue at 10am when we went down. This cleared quickly. The crepes restaurant opposite is also very good.

Extras at the hotel are pricey
The only think I didn’t like about the hotel is that there is an obvious drive to clip the ticket at every possible moment. Eg no coffee maker in the room so you have to go and buy a drink, nowhere to sit down in the reception and common areas so you have to buy a drink, there is a machine in the lift entrance for printing airline boarding tickets, this costs minimum $5 access fee and $1 per printout, so could get pricey for a big group, internet access for your laptop is $13.99 per day!.

There were a couple of maintenance issues in our room, one being the air con didn’t work well, however once the filter was changed it was fine. The maintenance people came within 20 minutes every time we called them.

All in all I think the hotel is good value, if you book early enough ( I noticed the rates on the website went up considerably in the 10 days before our arrival – may have been due it being booked out by the moose conference that was staying there.) The central location is the key to the hotel and it’s midrange pricing.
