Las Vegas has many hotels along the famous strip. Many new ones, and many from the Rat Pack days. Alan G. Wasenius shows many photographs of these hotels including the Flamingo, and Bellagio. You will see the grandeur of this city in the desert.

A continuation of my Atlantic City trip. My hotel for the second night, and my plans for the night.
Paris Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, USA. Its theme is the city of Paris in France; it includes a half scale, 541-foot-tall (164.6 m) replica of the Eiffel Tower, a sign in the shape of the Montgolfier balloon, a two-thirds size Arc de Triomphe, a replica of La Fontaine des Mers, and a 1,200-seat theatre called Le Théâtre des Arts. The front of the hotel suggests the Paris Opera House and the Louvre. The Paris is linked via a promenade to its sister property, Bally’s Las Vegas, through which it is linked to the Las Vegas Monorail. A unique architectural aspect of Paris Las Vegas is that the back legs of its Eiffel Tower actually come down through the ceiling into the casino floor. In fact, it was planned to be full scale, but the airport was too close and the tower had to be shrunk.
