Hotel room prices were pretty high all across the board the weekend of our stay so we picked Paris as it wasn't as expensive as our usual favorite hotels to stay at. Turned out to be not my cup of tea for so many different reasons.
First of all it is very difficult making a right turn into the hotel because cars pulling into the hotel share the same light as pedestrians - and there are throngs of them at all times! Be prepared to sit in traffic and wait. Better yet make a left turn into the hotel from the opposite side of the Strip.
I like to feel that wow factor from the moment I check in to a hotel to when I check out. I certainly did not feel that vibe in the hotel registration area. There was nothing grand about it and I certainly could not feel it with the clientele there (think fried 80's style perms).
Then there's the rooms. We reserved one of the updated Red Rooms but my hotel room at the Hampton Inn for a work trip was even nicer. The hotel, even with the renovation, just screamed old, and the rooms were small. Bathroom towels were thin and rough and many of them were dirty. In addition the only mirrors were in the bathroom - not female friendly :p
Worst of all: cobblestone on the casino floor leading up to the guest elevators. Talk about not being female friendly! Hard enough to walk on that kind of floor in flats so imagine high heels!
The good thing about the hotel is its location (if you are walking). Was easy to get to Planet Hollywood, Cosmopolitan, and Bellagio where we did a lot of our eating and shopping. Also, Sugar Factory is right there and they have good food and good celebrity spotting at times. (Heard good things about Gordon Ramsay Steak but didn't eat there on that trip.) Can say we tried it but we won't be staying there again.
