| - Somehow or another, I had never been to this tourist attraction at the Paris, but, having a coupon from a friend who had recently and previously been to Vegas, we were able to get one ticket at full price in exchange for an additional one for free. This depends on the time of day you go, but if you choose night, then you're looking at a total of $23 for two originally priced tickets of about $12. The reason the math still looks like its for two is because there is a ~$2.50 surcharge per ticket, which is annoying. Its absolutely essential you get this deal, and if not, just wait until its available to scale this monument.
Speaking of scale, it's 1/2 scale of the original Parisian World Fair of 1889 entrance, making it around 500 feet high instead of the 1,050 feet of the original, but its still startling for its views at night. After you pay, you get your picture taken by a photographer upon a walkway that promenades across the Paris casino. You'll notice that the foundations of this tower are actually indoors and when you go up, you're outdoors with phenomenal vistas of the Bellagio (where you can watch the fountain shows if you're able to sit on some space circumventing the see-through safety fence). The Cosmo, Paris and even further hotels like the Aria and NYNY are easily seen at night. Great value especially if you never plan to venture out to France to see its bigger, older brother.
