WHY IT RATES: The Las Vegas Strip is already a top destination, but the addition of the light show at Paris Las Vegas makes it a must-visit vacation spot.-Donald Wood, Breaking News Senior Writer.
Paris Las Vegas illuminated the Las Vegas Strip with the debut of a $1.7 million light show at the Eiffel Tower on Wednesday, Feb. 27, joined by world-renowned chef Guy Savoy, legendary French actress and singer Line Renaud and Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson. With a total investment of more than $92 million this year, the resort will also offer elevated experiences for its guests including an additional 1,600 renovated guest rooms and 140,000 square feet of meeting space for any event or conference.
Paris Las Vegas offers an abundance of opulent, elegant and flexible meeting spaces, from a small intimate affair to a large convention-all in unconventional settings. The Paris Conference Center, modeled after the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, includes the 85,204-square-foot pillarless Paris Ballroom, which can host up to 8,000 guests. For a more open feel, meeting planners can host a star-lit reception at the 22,000-square-foot Chateau Nightclub & Rooftop, which has a "base-up" view of the magnificent Eiffel Tower and the new light show.
"Celebrating 20 years, Paris Las Vegas continues to offer guests unique experiences year-round for meetings and conventions," said Caesars Entertainment Chief Sales Officer Michael Massari. "The Eiffel Tower light show is a great example of how entertainment is the backdrop for all meetings and events at Caesars Entertainment."
Inspired by the Eiffel Tower's illuminations in France, the enhanced lighting at the Paris Las Vegas attraction will offer a free, recurring show featuring synchronized and choreographed twinkling and colored lights for visitors to enjoy nightly on The Strip. In partnership with Vision Sign Inc., Paris Las Vegas installed approximately 300 color washing light fixtures and more than 800 white strobe lights on the tower's exterior. Guests can enjoy the nightly light show every 30 minutes on the hour and half hour from sunset to midnight.
Guests in town for meetings and conventions can experience the newly renovated guest rooms and suites that combine classic European elegance with modern flair. Following the first two renovation phases of 1,300 hotel rooms in 2016, Paris Las Vegas plans to complete the final phase of nearly 1,600 re-imagined guest rooms and suites in May with an additional investment of more than $86.8 million.
With splashes of vibrant burgundy complementing the crisp brown-and-white color palette, the new Burgundy Rooms will feature a king or two queen beds, a 55-inch flat-screen TV, full-size desk and custom accent pieces.
Some key highlights of the refreshed suites include a separate living area with a wet bar, a marble bathroom with a whirlpool tub, and beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower.
An icon of the city skyline since opening on Sept. 1, 1999, the 541-foot-tall Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas is a half-scale replica of the famous Paris, France landmark and remains the tallest reproduction of the original. The high-altitude attraction consists of 5,000 tons of wielded steel. Open daily from 10 a.m. to midnight, the Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck features 360-degree city views and knowledgeable Ambassadors who can help point out various Las Vegas landmarks.
