Paris Hotel & Casino
Paris Hotel & Casino What you need to know!
Gambling!
They boast 1,100 gambling machines in 95,000 Square Feet of casino space.
With over 104 Table & Poker Games chances are you won’t find many of your weirder games. But they do have the basics. And Rio is home to the World Famous World Series of Poker.
I have always loved Paris. Its theme is fantastic. And they go all out on it. Unlike those idiots at MGM that decided its better business to dumb down their themes, Paris stays true to its name. From the Eiffel Tower out front, to the Parisian themed casino everything about Paris is to my liking. If you just pop in to gamble, you might miss out on some of the coolest sites in Vegas. Walk to the back of the property and you will find an old streetscape. Follow this all the way down and discover a bunch of cute little stores. Eventually you will be lead right into Ballys.
What’s to eat?
Not surprisingly there is a lot to much on here. You can get pizza and crepes in their little mall. But the show stoppers are out front. Sugar Factory is fun, although a little pricey for what you get. The Eiffel Tower restaurant is awesome and worth every penny. I even held my wedding reception up there. Great views and food. For what you pay, it’s well worth it. But our all time favorite is Mon Ami Gabi. Ask to be seated outside, even in the heat. You know, when it gets so hot you can light a cigarette with a match. From people watching to the Bellagio fountains it all makes for a great meal. And the food is a solid value.
To simplify your selection the following have been rated for value.
Cheap (reasonably priced for what you get). ‘Bout what you’d expect (if you don’t understand this you should stick to McDonalds). Holy Shit! (Unless you are used to your bill looking like your phone number stay away)
As Vegas eateries change almost hourly you might want to double check if these places are still in operation. This blog is very lazy with updates...
In no particular. Unless you consider alphabetical an order, Lord knows we don’t.

With over 2,900 rooms there should be room at the inn.
The Room Basics
The rooms are split into 2 sections. Much like Gay Pari itself the hotel is split into two room types. The poor people will get stuck with a Blue room. Everyone else is in a Red room or better.
We are poor so we got stuck with a Blue room. The room was fine. Sort of looked like an old lady decorated a hotel room from the 1970’s. It was clean, but pretty worn down. Outside of that it was very forgettable. But I’d stay here again just to be in Paris!
What you need to know.
Its only about $25.00 more a night to upgraded to the newer Blue room on most nights. If you are only here for a couple days it might be worth it if you are a room snob. No resort fees so spend that money on an upgrade.
In closing:
Big casino, although the square feet says its small with its soaring ceilings & easy layout it feels much larger. Again, if you are not a fan of France or themes you might feel more comfortable at Aria or Cosmo across the street. They are much more modern. But if you like to take Le shit in your Le shitter. And eat Le cheese with Lynnette you will love it here. I’m sure you are impressed with my French by now. Le Thank You.
What else you need to know?
They do have a Spa & an uninspired pool. But the show stopper is the building itself. Its connect to Ballys, so getting to the monorail (if you are sucker enough to ride it) is very easy. The resort is on the smaller side, so its very easy to navigate.
Major attractions.
As Vegas shows change almost hourly you might want to double check if these ones are still in operation. This blog is very lazy with updates...
Anthony Cools. A Hypnotist in Vegas? Whats next a magician? There are a few acts on the strip like this, but Cools seems to do his bag a little bit better. For a silly show like this, I don’t think it’s worth the $60- $90 after tax he is charging. Go see a Cirque show instead.
The Eiffel Tower. You have to pay to go up here. But the pisser is they never make anyone leave. If you go during a peak time, like all the other cattle you will get crushed. Usually they hold you in a pen and wait for the crowds to thin out, so you are left standing and waiting while on vacation. The view is good but I won’t do it again. Save your money and go to Voo Doo at Rio for dinner.
Jersey Boys. After a very successful run at the Venetian Frankie Valley moves over to Paris. And why not? Nothing says France like an American act from jersey! We never saw it, but hear great things from those who have.
What did a hundo get us?
We played through five $20.00 bills on various machines. If we bet $1.00 a spin, we give em 20 spins and cash out. $2.00 per spin is 10 spins. If you can’t wrap your brain around this math, please do not gamble. I am sure this test of the slots is insanely scientific. But your actual millage may vary.
1st machine: Wheel of Fortune. $2.00 Max Bet. Cashed out with $2.00. Major hit cherry
2nd machine: Money Combs. $1.00 Bet. Cashed out with $6.80. Major hit a few small ones
3rd machine: Top Dollar. $2.00 Max Bet. Cashed out with $52.00 Major hit a Top Dollar for $50.00
4th machine: Instant Spin. $5.00 Max Bet. Cashed out with $0.00 Major hit a kick in the balls
5th machine Instant Spin. $5.00 Max Bet. Cashed out with $0.00. Major hit none. I figured it was due. It was not. 5 whacks of nothing.
Total results. Turning $100.00 into $60.80 in 10 minutes seemed pretty easy. All of the CET joints in town have a rep of paying back shit. Spin & Win with Instant Spin is very hit or miss.
