Fodor's Review:
Midpriced among the Center Strip's high-profile resorts, Paris actually offers more elegant digs -- even in its standard units, which have marble baths with separate tubs and showers -- than some of its pricier and more talked-about competitors, although some find the heavy-handed decor a little busy. Every room has custom-designed furniture with Franco-inspired decorative elements and artwork, and east-facing rooms overlook the magnificent fountains and lagoon across the street at Bellagio. Otherwise, your room may overlook the pleasant pool area. Suites add more space, of course, plus considerably more dashing red, beige, and gold furniture and rich fabrics. The fabulous buffet serves dishes from five French regions. The other dining options are mostly quite good, a couple of them excellent, although none is truly a showstopper, save perhaps for Mon Ami Gabi bistro. A massive octagonal pool sits in the shadows of the ersatz Eiffel Tower, on the hotel rooftop -- it could use a little more shade, but it's surrounded by neatly tended gardens.
The Casino. The spacious and whimsical dazzler of a casino may make you forget that you won't find many breaks here. The main casino floor conveys a dreamlike feeling, which you enter under an artificial pastoral blue sky dotted with white clouds (future historians might note the '90s-era of Vegas architecture as the "domed ceiling painted blue with fake clouds" period). The attention to French detail, down to fancy floral wash basins in the Provençal-style bathrooms, adds up to a charming yet classy casino.
Amid all this Parisian charm, take note that game rules are poor for the player. Roulette is slightly more prominent here than at other casinos; perhaps it's in keeping with the theme. Be sure to check out the dozen LeRoy Neiman paintings that grace the walls of the high-roller pit. An increasingly rare live music lounge, Le Cabaret, can be seen and heard in the larger casino. As all the dealers say, bonne chance!

Great Location!
Posted by djtoby44 from Michigan on 1/6/08
I have stayed three times in the past year at Paris Las Vegas. Onc can't beat the location on the strip. It's right in the middle of the strip and it is easy to get to from the strip...unlike the Bellagio or Ceasar's --- a long walk up to the casino for both.
Paris offers a variety of restaurants--buffet to high end eateries. The casino is wide open and not as smokey as other casinos. Paris is connected inside to Bally's---easy access to the casino.
The rooms are average in size and most have recently been updated. The staff are friendly and willing to help. Check-in can be done at the airport---by the time you check-in at the airport your luggage will just be arriving on the turnstile. Easy. I would highly recommend staying at Paris Las Vegas. *I've stayed at Aladdin (Now, Planet Hollywood) and Paris is much nicer.
will never stay in Paris again

In our opinion it is nice to visit this hotel,take pictures and dine only.
Rude and unfriendly stuff.
Third Times The Charm!
Posted by platoonleader from Charleston, SC on 8/24/07
Returned To Paris for our third visit 9-5-08 thru 9-8-08 and was happy to see that the service has greatly improved. The staff was friendly and quick to react to requests! The service in the restaurants was outstanding and the food was excellent! Our room had recently been updated and was comfortable and beautifully furnished and housekeeping was very accommodating. We look forward to returning! Ask for a room with a view of the Bellagio fountains. It is worth the extra charge.
Would Stay Again
Posted by VikingCool from Nebraska on 2/27/07
We were in Las Vegas for a convention and wanted to stay near the center/south end of the strip. I booked early enough to get a great rate. The room was large and very comfortable. The housekeeping staff does a great job; our room was very clean. I did sense a bit of a patronizing attitude from the front desk staff. The reason I say this is I had a tax exempt form, I'm a government employee, and they looked down their nose at it saying it wasn't a Nevada form and they wouldn't honor it. Not a big deal, but it could have been handled differently. Do not eat at La Provencal in the Paris. It was one of the worst meals we have had in a very long time. The buffet in the Paris is overrated in my opinion. I had read rave reviews about this buffet, but it wasn't that great. I guess I expect more for $24.95 a person than soggy shrimp and cold entrees. Besides the dining everything else was first rate at the Paris. I would recommend Napolean's for the dueling pianos. We had a great time there, but be prepared to drop some money for beverages there. $14 for a beer and a normal mixed drink!! I guess where I live $6 for a beer and $8 for Captain Morgan is a little steep. Stay at the Paris, but eat somewhere else.
