In case I don't make it up the real Eiffel Tower, at least I can say I've been up the one in Vegas. Short elevator ride up to the top (yes it's enclosed by gating) with a great view of the strip. I've always thought Vegas looks better at night, so I think you'll definitely get a better view in the evening hours. If you can squeeze everyone out of your way you'll have a birds eye view of the Bellagio water show. Bring your camera and for heaven's sake don't let it slip out of the camera peep holes ;)
