This is the Paris Hotel and Casino viewed from the Bellagio.

A view of Paris from the strip.

This is near the front entrance to Paris.

This is a 1/2 scale replica of the Eiffel Tower.

At the entrance to the hotel, we were greeted by a girl on stilts.

Inside the hotel is a beautiful casino and a mall that follows the Paris theme. The ceilings are painted and lighted in a way that it gives the feeling that you're outside. Along the way are a lot of shops and sidewalk cafés.

Along the way was a rotunda area with shops...

And this beautiful glass ceiling in the dome.

Tours are available for the top of the Eiffel Tower 520 feet above the city. This view is to the north. Notice the Stratosphere tower in the top-right portion of the picture. That tower is even higher. That's Barbary Coast (red building) and the Flamingo above it.

This is the view to the east from the Eiffel Tower

This view is to the south. That's Mandalay Bay at the top of the picture.

Another view looking south. On the right is Monte Carlo, New York, New York, and the Excalibur.

This view is to the northwest. On the left is Caesar's Palace where there is a lot of construction and above that, the Mirage.

This view is to the southwest part of the city
