| - It just so happens that every time I have to go to Vegas for work, I end up staying at the Paris. So I've stayed here about 5x. Service is great, the people at the check in counter are really nice despite having to deal with irate travelers all the time. Once I had to stay a full week (Sunday-Sunday) for a convention - the lady checking me in noticed and said "aw no, we can't have you staying in this room all week!" and she upgraded me free of charge to an awesome corner room overlooking the Bellagio fountains.
Inside the actual casino is really nice, it feels like it's early evening no matter what time you walk through because of the lighting and the way it's decorated, not to mention the oxygen they pump through :)
Rooms - I have zero complaints about the rooms - every room I've stayed in has been really nice. They have AWESOME bathrooms, some bathrooms I've had are nicer than the ones in my apartment! I'm not a big fan of their toiletries though, for such a nice hotel, it'd be nice if they could get a name brand for their toiletries.
Pool - great view up there, look up and you see the Eiffel Tower. It's a really small pool though, a lot of the other hotels have much bigger pools.
Another complaint is that their gym costs $25 a day!!! Like I said, I've mainly stayed at the Paris when I'm in town so I'm assuming other hotels are comparable, but $25 a day just so I can run on the treadmill for 30 minutes is unreasonable. Why don't you just run outside, you ask? Because it's 120 F-ing degrees outside, that's why.
Food - It's Vegas - all the food is good. Eiffel Tower is one expensive MoFoing restaurant, but it's really tasty. Make sure to make reservations beforehand, or you won't get in. Never a bad meal at Mon Ami Gabi, if it's nice out, sit outside for awesome people watching, or at one of the tables inside facing the fountains. Great steaks here. One of my favorites for a "cheaper" meal is Le Burger Brasserie that's in the shopping area right in between Paris and Bally's. It's got a sports bar feel, but kind of classy at the same time. My coworkers loved the girls in the skimpy outfits. Awesome burgers and fries, and they serve the onion rings in a pyramid.
