47 reviews for Paris Eiffel Tower
"To the top," I say.
Every visit to Las Vegas, I try to do different things. My friend and I wanted to see the view from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Bought our tickets inside the gift shop. $10 during the day and $12 at night.
We waited and waited for an hour before we got inside this tiny glass elevator. They only had 1 out of 4 elevators working!! As my friend and I were the last to cram into the elevator we realized we couldn't hold onto any railings. The elevator moved quickly up 50 floors. I got so nausea looking down at everything below. Whoa we are so high up! I wanted down.
As we walked around the observation deck, we could see every view of Las Vegas through tiny peepholes of metal fencing. I could see the mountains across the desert, I could see the tracks inside the Belliagio pond, I could see Planet Hollywood's pool.
A father of four jokingly told his daughters. I will give you quarters to use the binoculars so you can see the strip from a closer view. If you see Planet Hollywood's pool zoom in so Daddy can see. HAHAHA.
Being the planner that I am, I realized we were running out of time. I noticed a thick line of people huddling on inside wall closest to the elevator shaft. I asked what was that line for and it was the line back down. =/
The wait took longer than suspected. Plan accordingly. It got really windy being so high up in the sky. I could almost feel the building move a little bit. I wanted down and so did everyone else. I don't regret going. I think everyone should check it out sometime in their life. Whether it is during the day or at night. Although i think the wait for the night time would be longer.
See photos if interested ;)
If you happen to have a coupon and there isn't much of a line, GO FOR IT!
Otherwise, I'd say it's quite passable.
My bf and I were short-cutting through the Paris hotel and noticed there wasn't much of a line, so on a whim, we bought tickets and went up.
The best part was seeing the Bellagio's water show from that high up! You could even here the music when the crazy tourists stopped yapping.
It was definitely interesting to be able to see the strip nearly end-to-end, but probably more spectacular (as well as crowded) at night! Another negative is the thick-ass chain-link surrounding the observation deck. This should def be updated with an alternative barrier such as thinner steel cable fencing which is waaay less ugly and serves the same purpose.
All in all, I'm glad we did it, but it wouldn't be worth wasting hours in line for, that's for sure.
Find a BOGO coupon and check this out AT NIGHT! Amazing views of the strip for $7.50/person. I went on a Wednesday and it wasn't too crowded. You just have to be patient and act quickly when a good spot opens up.
HINT: The free Vegas 2 Go booklet (found one at Tickets 4 Less at the Fashion Show Mall) has the coupon if you can't find one anywhere else.
PLUS, your ticket will get you a $11.99 coupon for a 70 oz. daiquiri in a cheesy, fun, only-in-Vegas giant plastic Eiffel Tower cup. If you want to get blitzed for cheap and be the ultimate Vegas tourist, you have to buy one of these.
I got 2 free tickets to go and ride the cramped elevator up the Eiffel Tower at the Paris. It was completely worth it since I didn't have to pay a dime. If I had to pay the $10 dollars, I don't think it would have been so great. So, definitely look for the coupons!
On nights that it is busy, I can only imagine the wait being really long since they can only fit a few people in the elevators at a time. Once you get up there, depending on the season, it can be freaken hot! We were up there around 7:15pm and it was still dry heat. After a quick look of the strip and the lights, I was ready to go back down. Then, it was another wait in an unorganized line to ride the same small elevator down. This is just one of those things that you do once, and never need to do it again. Oh, and I saw a few people that didn't realize they had a fear of heights until they got up there. Pretty entertaining to watch them freak out.
COME HERE AT NIGHT!
You get an amazing view of the fountains at the Bellagio...Beautiful scenery from up here.
If your afraid of height...dont come up here. The hubby was getting a little nervous being up so high....I guess Ill be going to the real eiffel tower by myself..
THERE IS ALWAYS COUPONS FOR THIS PLACE...so make sure you get a hold of the coupon books that are displayed throughout the strip...I found a coupon for 2 for 1 admission.
Definitely go up to the top of it! Awesome views at night! I don't know why people say it's too cramped. I thought it was perfect.
I'm not sure how it compares to the Sahara. But no one wanted to go with me that far north in the Strip, so I was stuck in this tower. But very cool nonetheless!
Excellent view, the price sucks until you get the coupons that you find all over the city. I got them with my Harrah's reward card. (Booklet of coupons).
Great place to watch the Bellagio fountain shows......even during the day you can observe them from up top peacefully.
Had a BOGO coupon, so we went up for $10 in the daytime. The view is great and you can see the entire strip from end to end, from the Stratosphere all the way to MGM (and the tip of Luxor behind it).
I only wish I had done this during the nighttime though, so I could've seen the Bellagio watershow from directly above. Otherwise, $10 seems a reasonable price for 2 people. Something good to do once in vegas, but prob not again.
I went up during the day ($10 during day, $12 at night). It was super busy so the wait ended up being about 45 minutes, but I liked it up there and ended up staying a bit longer than the rest of my elevator group. The wind felt good on my face and I got a few nice pictures of the Strip (and the traffic on the Strip....).
I just wish the Bellagio fountains had their show when I was up there (instead of just before). I think I would have enjoyed that.
A replica of the original and I think about half the size of the original. I really wanted to go to this since my hotel room faced the tower and of the numerous times I've been to Vegas, I've never done anything besides, shop, eat and party.
A nice gentleman gave me a coupon for buy one get one free, so instead of the $10 it was half of it to get up during the day. At night it's $12. You enter inside the casino and follow the signs and buy your ticket inside a room and go up the escalator to the walkway.
It takes awhile to get into the elevator...I think it holds 7 or 9?? So be prepared to spend an hour buying the tickets, waiting in line and circling around up on the tower.
The coolest part is waiting for the fountains at Bellagio. The view is spectacular...and the view of the strip is also pretty awesome. I wanna try this again at night.
Ooohh, pretty lights......It's one of the many things I love about Vegas.
And the observation deck on the half-pint Eiffel Tower allows a lovely vantage point to oooh and ahhh over all the neon (and the Bellagio fountain shows, to boot), so I would suggest going at night. It's open until midnight so you should have plenty of time to fit it in among the general debauchery/gambling losses.
It's $10 for the trip during the day and $12 at night*, essentially the same as just one hand of blackjack at one of the cheap tables, so I don't want to hear that it's too expensive. We were lucky that it wasn't too cold or too windy, especially since a line tends to form to head back down, but they seemed to pack enough people in the elevator so it moved fairly quickly.
Take your lady up here, she'll love it.
*A tip for the frugal: You can find a two-dollar off coupon in the Vegas Values mini-mags.
I think the Eiffel Tower could be skipped. You wait in line forever and then go up in the elevator (what a view!) then you step out to a crowded platform, it couldn't be more than 10 feet wide and you are completely caged in. Everyone is lined up against the Bellagio side so you cant see anything.
If you do decide to go get the 2 for 1 coupon.
Now this is what I'm talking about! I love this hotel. The rooms are gorgeous. I had an awesome view overlooking the strip and the Eiffel Tower, the bed was perfectly comfortable and I really enjoyed the MP3 player. It's always nice to have your music with you to fall asleep to.
I asked for a late checkout and they had no problem with that. I love sleeping in and hate having to wake up by 11 if I don't have to especially when I'm on the road.
My only complaint was when I checked in I waited in line for 45 minutes. They only had 5 counters open and about 50 people in line. Once I got to the check in counter they offered me an upgrade which was nice.
The room wasn't overly expensive. The atmosphere inside the Paris is very cool. I ate at one restaurant there but can't remember the name. It was a sports bar of sorts. Our waitress took waaaaaaay to many steroids. She was like Arnold without the accent.
My first memorable evening in Paris I met a handsome boy on the dance floor and minutes later jumped on the back of his scooter for a drive to the Eiffel Tower. We kissed, we made out, we fell in love, and then we exchanged names...that's how I do things, that's how I roll.
This wasn't quite like that, but I did take a moment to recollect....XoXo
Awesome views of the strip. We made it just in time to see the marvelous Bellagio fountain show. I wish I would have gone at night but that's just not how it fit into our super sensational LV itinerary
Au revoir Peewee, Au revoir Simone~
Ventured up to the top awhile ago, so I only remember so much. What I remember is the wind not co-operating with my hair and getting it all up in my face. It was fairly windy up top (which I don't understand 'cause it's not even that high up), so you might want to being a jacket if you're not visiting in the summer.
Views are cute, but not breath-taking. If I remember correctly, most of the view is constructed by the bars keeping you from jumping. Good view of the Bellagio if you stay up there long enough to catch their water show. I'd like to go back up to see if it's actually better than I remember it to be, but from what my parent's have said, it's pretty expensive. I guess I'll just have to wait for my pimp to take me and pay for me :)
The view is nice up this mini Eiffel Tower, but honestly the Vegas skyline isn't particularly beautiful compared with other, more gentrified cities. I feel like after you've looked at one hotel, you've looked at them all since they are all equally huge and box-shaped to fit as many rooms as they possibly can (read: not very interesting to look down on). If you're on a budget in Vegas, save your money and visit the restaurant in the Eiffel Tower, dress nicely, get a window seat and enjoy a much more fun view of Vegas - looking down the strip instead of the top of it.
I've also been up in the real Eiffel Tower and the Vegas version is a remarkable likeness, but then again, nothing like the real thing at the same time. This is sort of what Vegas is all about, a lot of fun and spectacle unless you look at things too closely - then it just seems lame.
I will say this though, going up at night is MUCH better and worth the extra $2 (Vegas is nothing without her neon lights shining brightly) and it's one of the cheaper attractions around town. Be warned though, like the real Eiffel Tower, it gets crazy crowded during high-tourist season.
I am sorry... this is similar to my NY NY review as well....
Ambivalence.
One side: super cool, and a cute replica that is super fun.
Second side: Baudrillard's Simulacram. People actually come to this place, see this thing, and *actually* believe, in a repitlian part of their mind, they have been there. This is a long conversation of fun yet esoteric nonsense. Still... I can't get it out of my mind.
My fiance and I were staying with some friends at The Paris hotel wen we vacationed in Vegas. Our friends were coming in the next day, so we decided to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower because it looked awesome. We had a coupon for money off which was great and we climbed in the elevator to the top in the glass elevator (ummm scary!!!). We got to the top and were encased all around by the metal gate.
Man the view, ah-mazing! We went during the day which was nice and got pictures from all around the tower. I would like to go back at night the next time I'm in Las Vegas. A fun little thing to do and I suggest you try it because it's a unique and fun experience.
Quite lovely at night - you could technically take a ride up, but just save your money for the real thing. It's lit up and great to take pictures of. Almost seems like you're in Paris. Almost.
My new favorite restaurant!
We came here on a Saturday night so it was pretty packed. We were late for our 7:30 reservation but they told us to wait at the bar area and asked if we wanted any cocktails. We waited for at least 15-20 minutes watching other people walk in and get seated right away until we decided to ask the hostess when would be our turn. She told us she was waiting for a window seat but we told her any table would be okay so she seated us immediately... at a window seat??? kinda weird, right?
Besides that, everything else was amazing. We had a lovely view of the Bellagio water show and the food was excellent. I had the salmon pinot noir and my bf had the seabass. I can not stress enough how perfect my meal was. I'm obsessed with this place!
This is strictly about the ride to the top.
I have an outrageous fear of heights, that I thought I was able to lessen throughout the years.
The ride up made it all flood back and I almost peed my pants.
One, the glass elevator didn't help and I think I was grabbing on to many strangers during the ride.
Two, it was the longest ride of my life.
Three, I wasted money by hugging the middle of the tower when we got up there and was shaking in my boots.
Four, I got in line to go back down as soon as we got up.
Five, I feared for people who were leaning against the gate.
Six, I provided a group of people with a good laugh in response to the fear that was running through my blood.
But really, if you don't have a problem it's quite a nice view!
The top of the Eiffel Tower provides a nice view and a cheap thrill (especially for folks like me who are too chicken for roller coasters). We went up at dusk and had a great view of the setting sun and growing luminance of the neon on the Strip.
We were able to go up without waiting in any lines, but beware, by the time the sun had set there was a pretty long line of people waiting to go up.
When we walked into the Paris casino, we were handed coupons for a free trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower with player's club enrollment - of course we were in! Fortunately, I had not yet signed up for their player's club so I could take advantage of this fabulous offer. (And, might I add, I like gambling here because they have $5 craps tables during the day on weekdays.)
For the price we paid, this can't be beat; but, even if I had to pay, I think I would do it (at least once). The line was very long even though I understand it was shorter than it often is. We waited until the evening because we wanted to see all the lights on the strip. Although, we tried to time it to coincide with the Bellagio water show (which was still running at the hour we went up, somehow we missed it even though we stayed up there for a really long time; I am sure it would have been cool. The view is spectacular from up here. I mean, there is nothing else in the world quite like this view. It's breathtaking.
The line was long, the elevator was crowded and there were too many people up at the top. But, once we were up there, we didn't want to come back down.
This is okay, it looks beautiful from afar, but close up you can get pretty dizzy. I haven't gone up to the top yet, maybe next week. I am actually feeling dizzy talking about it.......I sure would like to see the original in Paris, now that would be different because there aren't much high risers at all..
Tickets are ten bucks to go up, though someone randomly handed us a two-for-one coupon. Thanks random person! You go up a bridge, they take your picture, and then you wait for an elevator that takes a while. It gets packed, then heads up. There's an audio clip that plays on the way up about the real tower. The view is great, obviously. I went during the day and enjoyed it, I imagine at night its even better. It is small though, so expect that. The ride down was a different audio clip about the tower playing. To get a copy of the picture they took was something like, twelve bucks?
Very cool decor. Great crepe place inside and really good pastries.
My only complaint is the smell of cigarette smoke inside but you can't really get away from that smell in Las Vegas.
The Eiffel Tower is 1 of 2 major "viewing deck" attractions in Vegas. While the Stratosphere has a way higher perch, it always offers a far inferior view.
The Paris Casino is right in the middle of things...the Stratosphere is in the middle of nowhere. Looking straight down, you'll see the Bellagio and its fountains. To the left, the MGM Grand, NY NY and Monte Carlo aren't far away. To the right, Ceasers and the Mirage are in the near distance. So, I can say easily that this is the better view and is worth the money. The observation deck is pretty small and not that crowded....taking pictures wasn't a hassle...I got great shots of almost all the other casinos.
In other words, I was very impressed.
If you choose to do this, definitely look for the 2 for 1 coupon that they have circulating in a Vegas coupon book. A really nice woman behind us gave us one and we didn't even know about it, but it'll save you $10, so definitely find one! It's a good experience to be able to get up that high, but there's only so much time you can spend looking down on Vegas and for about 10 minutes, it's not worth more than $10. Also, if you're afraid of heights, don't spend your money on this! You're safe up there, but still, I felt very woozy!
Wait until sunset, this is the best seat in the house. Although not as good of a view of the Bellagio fountains as inside the Eiffel Tower Restaurant, this view is slightly further and grants you the advantage of actually hearing the music itself. Yes, that's right... sad to say, you can't hear Sinatra's chords transcending through the glass while having dinner on table #2 of the Eiffel Tower.
The Bellagio fountains work Monday - Friday, 3 p.m. - midnight. Saturday and Sunday, noon - midnight. The fountains run every half-hour until 7 p.m. and every 15 minutes after that until midnight. Fountains are occasionally closed during high winds.

Going up on a Monday night, we were able to get a gorgeous view of the Strip all laid out without having to fight a crowd for a good spot to see. While the Paris promotional tapes that they play in the elevator are a little cheesy, let's face it, all of Vegas is a little cheesy. But from the top of this Eiffel Tower, you see all the sparkling lights and magnificently constructed hotels laid out, and it's easy to see why so many people flock to Vegas. Some say it's for the partying, some for the gambling, some for the eating, but underneath it all is a hope that they'll get to experience the Vegas strip the way it's always portrayed: a fabulously fast-paced, glamorous and seedy mix of luck and despair. Vegas is meant to be absorbed at night, and there's no better place to start or finish then at the top of this tower.
It's cheaper and more breath taking than the roller coaster at the top of New York, and if you time it right you'll get the additional treat of seeing the Bellagio light show from above.
It cracks me up that this one is under the category "Landmarks and Historical Buildings"!! I mean, can it really be considered that?
Despite the tower's questionable categorization, it's still pretty cool. According to the tour guide, it's exactly half the size of the real thing over in Paris. I've never seen the real thing (someday!), so this worked for the time being. One of those 'only in Vegas' experiences.
And as other Yelpers have mentioned, it's really great to watch the Bellagio water show from the top of the tower! Gorgeous views of the strip, no doubt. I bought a radical mug downstairs at the gift shop and it's one of my favourites. I know, I'm a nerd.
Its definitely worth the $$ and the wait in line... if you're going to go during the day (don't bother) I mean its pretty and all but at night its breathtaking. I have some amazing shots that i took from up there a few years ago of the strip and the Bellagio fountains... its really amazing when you can almost stop time.
While you're at the Paris you might as well get a really expensive drink in an Eiffel tower or a Hot Air Balloon... its just all good drunkeness...
As well, I've never been to Paris, France and beheld the real Eiffel Tower. But this was worth the $10 just for the photos and the view. I got some awesome photos from the top and I did appreciate that we were allowed to stay up there as long as we pleased once up.
Yes... the elevator is packed to capacity.
Yes... it's romantic. A guy proposed to his girlfriend the night I was there and it was the cutest thing ever.
Yes... it's got an incredible view and from what it seems a great vantage point to look down at the Bellagio Fountain show... but for some reason the night we were there the show was experiencing delays or cancellations or something because we waited around for about half an hour and got nothing (normally the fountain show happens every 15 minutes).
And it's best to go up at night, if you ask me. I can't imagine it being better during the day... at night the whole city is lit up and it's amazing.
Good cheap thrill, riding up to the top of the pretend Eiffel Tower. This is the first thing I took my BF to upon arriving on the strip so that he could take a look around and get his bearings (TI over there, MGM over there, our hotel there, etc). So we went during the day which was OK and got to see all the way out to the mountain ranges, but I'm sure it's more spectacular at night with all the lights.
Oh and they take your picture before you get on which you can purchase at the gift shop afterwards. But it seems stupid because there's no "Eiffel Tower" backdrop or nothing, you're just standing next to a casino lamp post. You can get the same thing if you ask someone to take your picture with your camera.
if you haven't been to the real eiffel tower.. this is as close as you can get! but of course, it is NOTHING like the real thing.
the lines are long.. so make sure you have a snack with you while cuddling with your loved ones!!
once you get onto the observation deck.. walk around! take pictures! turn off those flash.. to capture the lights of the famous vegas strip! stay a bit longer!! to witness the bellagio fountain show from up top with their lightings!!! it's so pretty!!
I haven't stayed at this place nor dined at the restaurant, so I started a new catagory. Hopefully there isn't one already up.
For the 100th review I tried to think of a "special place". This was definitely one, although it was over a year ago that Derek and I went. For someone that's never been to Paris, forking out like $10 to go up a fake eiffel tower was still ironically worth it. HAD I BEEN to the REAL Paris, obviously it would be cheezy.
Anyways, it's pretty cool. You get led to the elevator with a group of people and on the way, you have to take a very nice picture at the bridge. Although you probably will get packed like sardines in the elevator, the "tour guide" will tell you interesting facts about the tower to compensate for all the money they are making. You can take all the time you want once you are up, and it's a really romantic place, especially at night!

I went here with my brother and I thought it was forgettable except for the fact that the photographer thought he was my boyfriend, ew. Take a helicopter tour instead. I only did this because when I lived in Paris, my uncle didn't want us to climb up the real one and be like a tourist. Arggh. My hotel room here was okay.
In case I don't make it up the real Eiffel Tower, at least I can say I've been up the one in Vegas. Short elevator ride up to the top (yes it's enclosed by gating) with a great view of the strip. I've always thought Vegas looks better at night, so I think you'll definitely get a better view in the evening hours. If you can squeeze everyone out of your way you'll have a birds eye view of the Bellagio water show. Bring your camera and for heaven's sake don't let it slip out of the camera peep holes ;)
I haven't eaten ere but I've definitely gone up for the view and it is awesome. I suggest going at night to see the light and fountain show across the street at the Bellagio. The view from the Eiffel Tower cannot be beat. Plus, you can hear the music perfectly from there. I believe it cost 9 dollars a person to go up there when I went and you can stay up there as long as you want. They send people up every 20 minutes and the line usually isn't long.
I stayed at the Paris for the first time two weeks ago, however this was my second time eating at the eiffel tower and I will be eating there whenever I return to Las Vegas the food is absolutely devine. The atmosphere is great for a group or a solo date and the servers are ever so polite. The food spectacular- the kind of meat is served that is so spectacular that no matter what you order it will just melt in your mouth like butter. You must however end yoru meal with a soufle. Absolutely to die for. I'm usually a pretty frugal person however I must say that this is one meal worth dropping lots of money on.
