It is an unwritten rule that the hotel on the Strip charges a resort fee and that it includes a unique attraction. The Bellagio has singing fountains, you can ride the Big Apple Coaster next to the New York, New York hotel, and the Strato has rooftop entertainment for adrenaline junkies. Hotel Paris has a much quieter attraction on the property, a 540 ft tall replica of the Eiffel Tower.

History, Height and Interesting Facts About the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas
Construction of the Paris in Las Vegas began on April 18, 1997, and from the beginning it was envisioned that the Eiffel Tower would be a faithful 1:1 replica of the original. The architects’ plans were thwarted by the nearby airport and its safety regulations, so instead of 986 ft the tower measures only 540 ft.
Nevertheless, it offers a nice view of the city, especially after dark, and even people not staying at the Paris Hotel can access the platform at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Every 30 minutes from sunset until midnight, a light show takes place on the tower’s mantle.
Those who would like to extend their stay in the tower or get engaged in Sin City can book a table at the restaurant, which specialises in French cuisine. The Eiffel Tower Restaurant is located at 100 ft above the ground and offers a romantic setting with beautiful views.
The Eiffel Tower isn’t the only Parisian landmark whose miniature has been brought to Las Vegas. The Arc de Triomphe, the Montgolfier Brothers’ illuminated hot air balloon and some other buildings familiar to the city on the Seine also stand next to the hotel.
A replica of the more famous tower starred in the not-so-well-reviewed 2012 disaster movie. Unfortunately, like the rest of the Strip, it was completely destroyed there.

🎫 Entrance to the Eiffel Tower via Go City Pass Las Vegas
You can use the Go City Pass Las Vegas to access the Eiffel Tower observation deck without paying anything extra.
The Go City Pass works like a season pass to the most famous attractions in and around Las Vegas. You buy it for 2-5 days and then you can take as many as you can from the dozens of attractions available. In addition to the Eiffel Tower, there’s a helicopter flight over the Strip, the Fly LINQ Zipline, and the Giant Wheel High Roller. This can save hundreds of dollars over standard ticket prices for 3-4 days of intense programming.
💡 My Tips on How to Enjoy Your Visit
From the observation deck on the Eiffel Tower, there are beautiful views in virtually every direction. For the best experience, I recommend planning your visit so that you can watch the singing fountains in front of the Bellagio Hotel on the opposite side of the street. Additionally, the illuminated Sphere is beautifully visible after dark.
A relatively small elevator will take you to the top of the tower, and you can enjoy the view for any length of time. After that, just get in the elevator and go down. The platform is surrounded by a wire fence, which has a few holes in it to make taking pictures more comfortable.
