The Paris Las Vegas casino
Paris Las Vegas is a hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. As its name suggests, its theme is the city of Paris in France; it includes a 1/2 scale replica of the Eiffel Tower, and a neon sign in the shape of the Montgolfier balloon, and small versions of the Arc De Triomphe, La Fontaine des Mers , and the Paris Opera House .
Currently a property of Caesars Entertainment, it opened September 1, 1999. The project was originally announced by Bally Entertainment, owner of the adjacent Bally's Las Vegas. Building began under Hilton Hotels, which purchased Bally Entertainment in 1996; Hilton's casinos were subsequently spun off into Park Place Entertainment, which purchased Caesars World in 2000 and changed its name to Caesars Entertainment in 2004. At the time of its opening, the hotel ran amusing television advertisements throughout the United States implying that it had ensured the authenticity of its reproductions of Paris landmarks, culture and cuisine by looting the real city.
