The Eiffel Tower Experience
The Eiffel Tower Experience at the Paris Hotel
Soaring 50 stories high at the Paris Hotel, Las Vegas, is the tallest construction on the Strip, a half-size scale replica of the Eiffel Tower.
What Is The Eiffel Tower Experience?
The Eiffel Tower Experience is a ride that takes visitors to the top of the tower, at the rate of 340 feet per minute, where an observation deck offers a breathtaking, bird's eye view of the Strip. During the 90-second ascent up to the 460-foot perch, an experienced elevator operator will point out all the can't-miss Las Vegas landmarks as well as address any questions riders may have.
Is it Really For You?
The elevators are glass and the observation deck is very small (holding about 30-40 people at a time), but well contained, with welded mesh covering the openings, (chilly at the top in winter when the wind is blowing!).
What Can You See Up There?
The panoramic views from the top of the tower make the ride well worth the admission price, with the centre Strip site being perfect for south views of Monte Carlo, Luxor, Mandalay Bay and Aladdin. Turning west for the best views of the Bellagio fountain show and looking east for a spectacular view of the mountains.
Take A Photo
Small holes are cut out of the observation decks 5,000-ton welded-steel structure, which are just big enough for taking unobstructed photos, and high-powered lenses are available for closer viewing.
