The only good thing about Paris was the decor. The staff was not friendly, the room was okay, view was terrible. We were next to a “P” room which had a party going on all night long with screaming and yelling. I did call security three times to ask them to quiet down to no avail. Security said there was nothing they could do but ask them to be quiet which was a complete joke as the people just made more noise. Do not book next to a P room since they are bigger rooms and could have more people in them and thus louder. The walls seemed paper thin, especially when you are trying to sleep at 2, 3, 4 and 5 a.m. The buffet was very understaffed. We waited in line for dinner for 1 1/2 hours. There were plenty of tables, but the hostess said it was management’s fault for not staffing enough servers. It is a buffet, how many servers did they need? People were complaining about the wait with so many open tables but all they hostess kept saying is “to yell at her boss”. I was not impressed at all and would definiately not stay at Paris ever again.

Of the places in Vegas I have stayed, which include Ceasars, Treasure Island and Bally’s, this was by far my favorite. The rooms were much nicer than Treasure Island or Bally’s, and comparable to Ceasars. But what sets this place apart for my wife and I is that the property and casino in particular isn’t as overwhelming as Ceasars but still has the elegance of the property.

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the Paris.

Overall, I’d rate this experience as a 7 on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best). Just slightly above average.

The room was nice and my mother-in-law got an awesome “P-room” by using the famed ”$20 trick”. We wanted one as well, and could have got one, but we needed two beds as we had our kids with us (not recommended by the way!) and all the “P-rooms” have a single King sized bed. The room my mother-in-law got was very nice, spacious, with a sitting area, a closed (as opposed to the armoire (sp?) that all regular rooms have) and a make-up table/desk.

Our “regular room” was nice, clean, and comfortable but it seemed a bit small and we’ve been spoiled by the large suites at the Venetian so, for us, it seemed like a step down.

The “front-line” employees, with the exception of the dealers, all seemed to be completely clueless and spoke English as a second…or third language. This was true of their spa employees, total rewards club clerks, and cashiers. I had issues with each of them and their initial responses were always incorrect and required intervention of their managers/supervisors who always fixed the issue…however, it wasted my time and left me with the feeling that the employees weren’t trained very well.

On the negative side, my wife had a terrible experience with a massage therapist who left her bruised and scratched (had long, sharp, fingernails)despite her frequent pleas for the therapist to lessen the pressure and stop scratching. Fortunately the manager removed the charge for the massage, but it ruined my wife’s experience and set her off on the wrong foot for the day…which happened to be her 40th birthday!

The rooms were comped based on an offer from Total Rewards so I can’t complain too much. None of us had any luck in the casino but I did find all the dealers, cocktail waitresses, and floormen to be very friendly and pleasant.

Not sure if I’ll stay at the Paris again.

Nice rooms and nice craps pit. The hotel and casino are very nice, although the table games have Strip odds, which is disappoining.

I can’t tell you how disappointed we were with our August 2007 stay in Paris. The room was average at best. We were given NOTHING in the way of discount coupons to any of their shows or attractions. We also received nothing when we signed up for their slot club. Since we had gambled 3 years ago in Biloxi, they did not recognize us as new members and were therefore not eligible for any new member perks. This made absolutely no sense! The restaurants were over priced and the food was average. The slots were tight. We did see the Anthony Cools (hypnotist) show which was great. We’ll never stay here again.

A terrific upper middle range hotel. Definitely ask for a “P” room when you check in. These corner rooms are larger and there’s no extra charge. Buffet is much above average. Closure of their restaurant Ortanique was a significant loss. Since the takeover by Harrah, the overall ambiance has gone down a notch, and I just stopped going there—the effects of the takeover have been “harrable”. But if you don’t know what it was like before, you can expect a reliable and real nice experience here. Be sure to go to Napolean’s in the evening for the dueling pianos. Great fun!

I usually always stay at Paris. It’s not the fanciest or plushest hotels, but I always feel welcomed there.

I have never had a problem with the staff, they have been friendly and accomodating.

I have the most fantastic casino host who takes care of me very well. It is part of the Harrah’s Total Rewards program, which can be very adventegeous if playing there. Many comps are available. I am not a “high roller”, but I feel treated as if I were.

We recently had 2 night reservations at Rio. We were not at all pleased with the hotel, casino and especially the service aspects. We cut it a day short and went immediately to Paris; where we were so much happier and more staisfied.

Paris is staring to show its age. The location is great and everything is easy to find. The pool is not as nice as those at nearby hotels, but at least you need not travel through the casino in a bathing suit to access it. During this stay, the front desk staff was rude and completely useless in attending to requests and problems. Very poor. However, the bellman and valet were excellent.

Plus:
Location
Bell and valet staff
Rate

Minus:
Older bed and bedding
No more French milled soap in bathrooms
Rude front desk staff
Boring pool
Cafe prices are up
Tight slots

Longish line at 11:00 pm check-in, turned out worthwhile when we were upgraded to a petit suite, no $20 trick used, didn’t request upgrade. That was great. The room was well appointed, very clean, beds very confortable, rented a cabana with friends $75 ea. service cabana was great.<br />Only downside lineups for breaky were 2 blocks long for buffet, ate at Cafe instead, food service great, Dinner Mon Ami (I think) on patio across the street from dancing fountains was fabulous. Didn’t see a lot of 20-25 crowd, suited me, but maybe not you. We had a great time there.

Have stayed at Paris twice. Had a P room both times. Last visit, did not get a corner room, but a room with a view, not as good but nice. Was told you must ask for corner room on check in, first come first basis. Enjoyed the stay both times, gong back June 06, staying at Paris again.

Great hotel! My favorite to stay in as far as rooms go. Be sure to get a room that faces strip and Bellagio fountains. A great view!

Just stayed at Paris for 4 nights. The hotel is beautiful on the outside, and the bathrooms were fantastic, but the room itself was nothing special at all. The room I was given faced the airport and the Alladin’s roofs o the view was simply dreadful. I imagine rooms facing the strip would be much better.

The bathroom was great, with lots of marble, a separate shower and a lot of room for two people to get ready (two sinks would have been perfect, but this was still good.)

The pool was nothing spectacular to look at. It was actually closed without warning one day so I never got to do much more than look at it.

It was nice, but my overall impression is that there are much nicer rooms or better values elsewhere.

Just returned from a three day stay. Airport check-in is great, had room key in less than five minutes. My first stay at Paris, room was clean, bathroom had great shower and oversized tub. Had a “Premier View” room, superb view of Bellagio fountains, Eiffel Tower and Paris pool. All employees very friendly and helpful. Encountered no snobbery or rude employees. Loved the buffet, specially breakfast. Tight slots, but mostly played elsewhere. Would definitely stay here again.

Have stayed at many of the strip hotels, and this one is not in the top 10. While the view is nice, and the furnishings are good, the walls are thin, and noisy neighbors can make it unpleasent. Overpriced when compared to other strip hotels.The staff are somewhat “snooty” and the reservation system is a joke. Beware that you do not have a “reservation”, but only a request, and they do not try to go the extra mile to help you if what you thought you had reserved and paid for in advance is not available. Forget the upgrade, they will swithch you to a room that was cheaper when you made the reservation, but is now higher priced due to the “need” and try to make you think they have done you a favor.

Enjoyed my stay here June 3rd and 4th very much. I had requested connecting rooms on my reservation. When I arrived, Sara( front desk) worked hard to fine connecting rooms and I had already paid for the rooms w/view ,she put us in a P room. This has a private entance of hallway with two rooms . Outstanding. Thank you very much for making our stay pleasant. Gambling here was not good at that tables.

Nice room with attractive furniture – very quiet – we heard no noise from hallways. Property seems to be well maintained; room was clean every afternoon when we came back – ample supplies of towels and toiletries. Bathrooms are very large, glass shower, attractive vanity – toilet is not separate from the bath area. The pool is nice but not outstanding. Last stay was Oct. 2002 and would stay there again if they were offering a “deal” on rooms.

We stayed here for our wedding scouting trip, so we didn’t spend a lot of time in the casino. We got a P room at the end of the hall. One window looked out towards Aladdin and the other looked across the pool, through the Eiffel Tower to the Bellagio Fountains. If you opened the window vent and listened VERY carefully, you could hear the songs too.

The room was good sized and comfortable with a couch and chairs and a desk area between the “bedroom” and “bathroom” areas. I wasn’t as thrilled with the bathroom as I have been with other hotels. I’ve been spoiled by the soaking tubs in other hotels. Also, we didn’t have time for soaking anyway. :)

I thought I would be extremely annoyed by the “Bonjour” every time you turn around, but I wasn’t. What I was annoyed by was the “street performers”. The shopping area that is made up to be like a Parisian street is very narrow. Too narrow for dozens of tourists to be standing around watching a guy pretend he’s a statue when I have appointments to get to. :)

Dan enjoyed having a Pernod in the bar, but was very disappointed in the blackjack rules and high table minimums on our visit.

This trip started the worst ever. Our plane was downsized and we were on standby, but got on. The flight was delayed do to a tornado warning. We missed our connecting flight. Dollar rent a car said we had a reservation, but no vehicle assigned to it, so we had to take a minivan at $49.95/day. This was our first stay at The Paris. It was 1:30 AM. The receptionists that weren’t busy were standing in the center of the foyer, where some asked if they could help and a receptionist said come with me and chatted about on the way to the desk (yes, she did you the fake French accent). She took our information, then stepped around the desk to us and asked if we would mind be upgraded for no extra charge. We didn’t object. When we got the 30th floor, our room was the first (double) door down the hall. The Callias Suites are excellent. The hall way to the living are is wide. The living are is equipped with a dining area, wet bar, sofa chars and large TV. There are more chairs at the wide that offers a fabulous view or the Eiffel Tower and Bellagio water shows. The bedroom is furnished with the usual, with an armoire, at the press of a button another large TV rises. The first bathroom has a shower only. The second large bathroom has a Jacuzzi with a bidet room off of it. Service was great. The fake French accents and demeanor got a little old.

Great valet parking. Probably the best in Vegas. That said, the rooms at Paris are on par with most of the rooms at the newer hotels in Vegas but nothing sets them apart from those others either. The “P” rooms at the end of the hall offer a little more room and if you are lucky the right side of the hotel offers a view of the Bellagio Fountain Show. There are no refrigerators in the room though they are available for medicinal purposes. The bedroom/sitting area is comfortable with an armoire that houses drawers, the closet and the television. The bed is a California King. The bathroom has one vanity sink, a soaking tub, separate shower and the toilet is in the same room so it cuts down on privacy while using the loo.

The Paris is lovely in a Disneyesque, fun way. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well-appointed. The bathrooms were great and featured the best blow-dryer I have ever used! The full-length mirror directly facing the see-through shower stall is a bit diconcerting, though, if you haven’t been to the gym lately or indulged too much in the buffet. I was especially impressed with how quiet the rooms are. You never hear the people in the next room or anyone in the hallway. The only complaint I have is with the pillows on the bed. They were the most uncomfortable pillows I’ve ever encountered—like sleeping on rubber balls. Service was generally excellent, and I would definitely recommend it and stay here again (but I’d bring my own pillow). The location, right in the middle of the strip, can’t be beat.

We stayed two nights at Paris as part of our wedding package. Boy were we wow-ed! Previous to check in I had left my wedding gown with the concierge and it was de-wrinkled on time, as promised, even though we weren’t guests of the hotel yet. Even after the desk had closed I had no problem retrieving my dress as staff was more than willing to help out. Our room, a Le Mans suite, was outstanding! Well apointed, a lot of space, couches, closets… The bathroom and spa tub was great, too. Everything was very clean. The towels were very scratchy though, the worst I’ve ever encountered. Chocolate covered strawberries were delivered to our room as was breakfast; room service was awesome, exactly on time and delicious! My parents stayed in a standard room when they camed out and it was very well appointed, too. I was impressed for it being a standard room. We would all stay there again!!

I stayed at the Paris when it first opened, but wasn’t highly impressed. The rooms were nice, but a bit pricey for what we got. I took a chance, however (prompted by a great special rate!) on an end room for my recent anniversary, and I’m SO glad that I did! The room was fantastic, with an unbelieveble view (both up and down the Strip, from 2 sets of windows!). The bathroom was really large, with seperate shower and large tub. Service from the reservations clerk to the check in clerk at McCarran was all fabulous! I had a great experience at Paris, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, quality room at a really reasonable price. The views of Bellagio and the Eiffel Tower alone were worth what we paid!

My wife & I stayed at the Paris Hotel the first week of October, 2002 and found the accomodations very much to our satisfaction. Room was standard with French decor& bathroom had a separate tub & shower. Great hotel in middle of strip & accross from Bellagio Fountain. Before going to evening shows, we ate twice at the JJ Boulangerie, where there is no waiting with a variety of sandwiches & salads for about $7.00. You also eat in an indoor sidewalk cafe & be entertained by roving accordian players, mimes, & singers.

Our basic room at Paris was far superior to the jacuzzi suite we had at Luxor the week before (except for the jacuzzi). Room was clean and fashionable. Overall hotel layout is tasteful, sensible and non-confusing. Breakfast at the Village Buffet is very worthwhile.

NO $5.00 CRAPS, BLACKJACK OR ROULETTE TABLES CAN BE FOUND. THE LOCATION IS GREAT AND STAYING THERE REALLY MAKES YOU FEEL IMPOTANT.
