Even so, the huge pool - one of the main social spaces here - has a serene vibe compared to other party-hard properties on The Strip. The electronic reception kiosks help relieve the check-in and checkout processes a bit, but overall, waits can still be frustratingly long, and we spotted people sprawled out waiting all over the place during our visit. However, as a massive hotel, guests should expect a constantly busy atmosphere that diminishes the European spell a bit.
The lavish style continues in hallways, meeting spaces (which include a Baroque-style wedding chapel), and even the casino, which features a Moulin Rouge-themed design and Art Nouveau architectural elements. Its gilded lobby has ornate mosaic tile floors, crystal chandeliers, and classic portraits on the walls. It's an exercise in excess, for sure, but since the Paris opened in 1999, the hotel has served as a Vegas landmark.
And while it all may prove a bit too much for some travelers, there's a lot to like about the Paris Hotel Las Vegas. And that extends from the twilight blue, cloud-filled ceilings found throughout the hotel's interiors to the Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower replicas that stand outside. In a city of over-the-top themed hotels, Paris Las Vegas’s Paris-themed interior is a spectacle in its own category.
