| - This review is for the casino/lobby only. I was not that impressed.
I was here years ago when Paris LV opened and it was fresh and new. Being originally from Montreal, my French is more than passable, and then it was fun and cool to come into the Paris lobby and speak French to anyone working here. Now, they have no idea what I'm saying as none of the staff I tried to converse with spoke or understood the language. The décor is still adorable and tres Parisienne, with nods to the Art Nouveau metro signs, faux outdoor cabarets, and the adorable patisseries and boutiques along les faux rues Francais. I was disappointed in the drinks my mother and I had at a "café" in the lobby; they were overpriced and small (even for Vegas standards). The gal serving us was nice but clad in super-short Daisy Duke shorts that barely covered her nether regions and was about as French as Honey Boo Boo. I was a little surprised - not in a good way - to see pseudo-strippers in thongs and bra-like tops gyrating to music atop an elongated table in the center of the lobby (I know this is Vegas, but STILL!). I swear, I'm no prude, but the atmosphere just seemed....seedier here than in the other major hotel casinos we visited.
I must make note of the bathrooms, too. The women's facilities were dingy, and some of the enameled ceramic pedestal sinks were cracked. Some of the bathroom stalls were dirty, and some doors had graffiti carvings on them (at least, mine did). They didn't appear to be maintained well.
The replicas of the Eiffel Tower and l'Arc du Triomphe were awesome landmarks, and we took a few photos by them. And the few folks we talked to who worked here were friendly. All in all, this is a cutesy place to check out, take some photos in, and then leave.
