Las Vegas Hotel
There's so many options, so many various and varying potential in the Las Vegas hotel region of choices for visitors and tourists that my choice of only one to crow and gush about may seem unjust. But I have to begin this part with a huge nod of acclaim to my preferred Las Vegas hotel: the Paris.
The Paris Las Vegas hotel is reasonably priced. It is even "low-priced" or cheap, to use a nicer word, when you take them up on a non-weekend offer a package deal of casino betting coins/cash, a voucher or two for cut-rate dining, and even, in some luckier cases, an airline ticket cost reduction. The Paris Las Vegas hotel is as well spotless, calm, well-maintained, and staffed by bright, courteous, and reachable people. But the best piece for me of the Paris Las Vegas hotel is downstairs in the Paris casino. The stroll to the doorway of the Paris is a cobbled walk of shops and eateries on both sides and a ceiling decorated like the Paris sky (must be "painted). Within the Paris is really like outside: the décor, climate control, ambience, and fittings all add to the feeling of being outside in Paris, close and beneath trees and, even, in some parts of the casino, beneath the Eiffel Tower! From the exterior of the casino building, you see the Tour d'Eiffel to scale, built as it is round and on top the Paris Las Vegas hotel and casino. Within, you are at the base level of within the legs of the famous and one-of-a-kind architectural phenomenon.
Perhaps, though, I ought to wander before I begin talking in tongues I have no business (or expertise) talking. Other Las Vegas hotel delights flourish. As you likely have read about, seen, or heard about, many of the Las Vegas hotel and casino trimmings and structures replicate a spot someplace in the world. The Las Vegas hotel that does this is ordinarily on the strip (in the middle of town, that is), and boasts such dynamic likenesses that when you drive or walk through the middle of the region, you sense as if you are a world-traveler, visiting customized or reduced countries, cities, and cultures. New York is represented in black and white and post-mod pop (and when I was there, following 9- 1-1, sadly, the New York, New York had constructed a long fence of donated t- shirts belonging to firefighters, sufferers, and survivors and residents. The t- shirts, numbering in the thousands, had signatures and sayings and messages of thanks and empowerment…making for the entire viewing and visit experience one of true realism, not just fake Las Vegas hotel-style). The Bellagio is water wonderful; the Luxor is mystical Egyptian; the Monte Carlo is classic; and the Venetian is Italian magic.
Of course, to visit Las Vegas hotel past, one should not be so dazzled by the new that one misses the Rat Pack and Elvis days recapitulated at every older Las Vegas hotel and casino from the Flamingo to Ceasar's top the MGM to The Sands. But I tell you what: I wage if Frank and Elvis and Sammy and George were alive and in the city, they would drop by to take a show or pop in the Paris for a quick turn of the roulette wheel.
