| - Paris is a great choice when staying on The Strip!
It's in the center, so there are tons of choices for fun. Next door are the Miracle Mile Shops & Planet Hollywood, across the street is the new Cosmopolitan, Aria, & the rest of City Center, attached is Bally's & the tram station, and cab rides anywhere else on The Strip (necessary in stilettos!) are short & inexpensive.
The rooms are not overly lavish like some of the newer super hotels, but not bad either. The beds are comfortable (although they're stingy with the amount of pillows!) and the bathrooms are fine.
The pool is cool in the summer, especially with the magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower replica right there!
There's also a good amount of choices when you need some food to soak up the booze and/or cure a hangover. There's the Mon Ami Gabi restaurant I've been wanting to try but haven't had time, the Paris Buffet which has crepes and ridiculously awesome pretzel bread, Le Burger Brasserie which is a good casual choice, Le Creperie, etc. You can see I've stayed here once or twice. ;)
My favorite part about Paris, however, is THE BEST BLOODY MARY, made by the cutest and nicest bartender in Vegas, Natalia. Generally speaking, I don't even like that kind of drink! But she makes them from scratch, and are ridiculously delicious. She even caters to different spiciness preferences, depending on individual tastes. We experienced her talent on our last visit to Vegas, and this time beelined it right to her bar (the "Central Bar" by the Blackjack tables) as soon as we had a chance. She typically works the earlier shift (we asked!), so it's perfect for when you topple out of bed and need a "hair of the dog that bit you". Be sure to try one next time you're there - you'll be so happy you did!
