Paris is the romance capital of the world, and it is also the romance capital
of Las Vegas – well the Paris hotel is at least. The Eiffel Tower Experience is
perhaps the most romantic spot in the entire city. It is located on the east
side of Las Vegas Blvd. just south of Flamingo Ave. in between Bally’s and
Planet Hollywood. The Eiffel Tower can be seen from just about anywhere down the
street rising 50 stories and around 460 feet in the air. It is approximately
half the size of the original Eiffel Tower in Paris but is similar in a number
of ways, and has a number of advantages over the original in Paris:
- It’s in Las Vegas
- It’s on the Strip
- It’s at one of the premier hotel casinos in Las Vegas, the Paris.
As you can see this one is way better.
The tower is open from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. daily if the weather permits and
costs $10 for adults and $7 for children. Then from 7:30 p.m. until it closes
admission is $15 for adults or $22 for an express pass. You may also make
reservations. There are no age or height restrictions.
"At nighttime, it's very romantic," said Melissa Drumheller, manager of the
Eiffel Tower Experience. And it can get quite crowded as the sun goes down,
especially when the Strip is busy.
The view is amazing though. Visitors are lifted to the top in a glass elevator
offering a view all the way to the top. From the enclosed observation deck you
can see much of the city, the vibrant lights, planes taking off, and the beauty
surrounding the city of Las Vegas. Perhaps the most amazing time to take a trip
to the top of the tower is on New Year’s Eve where you will see fireworks
blasting off just overhead. Different prices and rules may apply for New Year’s
Eve, contact the hotel for details.
Time for a romantic meal? The elegant Eiffel Tower Restaurant is located on the
11th floor and also features an amazing view of the city as well as an excellent
menu. This is the perfect place to take that special someone for a romantic
evening, or simply to get an amazing view of the Las Vegas Strip and a bite to
eat at the same time.
