Paris Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip, Nevada. The theme of the resort is based on the city of Paris in France and includes a 165 m tall replica of the Eiffel Tower, a sign in the shape of the Montgolfier balloon, a two-thirds size replica of the Arc de Triomphe. The front of the hotel is inspired by the Paris Opera House and the Louvre.
The $760m resort was built between 1997 and 1999. The Eiffel Tower was originally planned to be full scale but its height had to be reduced due to the proximity to the airport.
Paris Las Vegas was opened on 1 September 1999 and is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment Corp.
