The Paris Hotel in Las Vegas is most noted for its tall, half-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower. However, it also has a replica of the Arc de Triomphe, a neon-light balloon and a cool fountain at street level as well. Here is the fountain with the balloon in the background, and a bright billboard of two Abercrombie-beautiful models kissing.

Caesar’s Palace, a Las Vegas landmark, seems so surrounded by other buildings that it was hard to get a decent photo of just the hotel itself. I liked the blue lights in the Bellagio reflection pool illuminating the Jasmine Restaurant with Caesar’s rising in the background.

Well, we were with the kids while in Las Vegas so we did not go to any of the shows we might otherwise hit (Ka, Phantom, O) if we had been there on our own, instead opting for sunny days by the pool and dinner out each night. It was fun walking around Vegas in the evenings and seeing it through kids’ eye, they enjoyed the lights and the sounds and the high energy. We thought the Venetian Hotel looked cool, with its tall banner for Phantom of the Opera hanging over the Strip:

Here is another view of the Bellagio Hotel fountains, this time with the Paris Hotel’s half-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower (yet another Las Vegas landmark) in the background. Bally’s is just seen on the left, and the Planet Hollywood Hotel is on the right.

One of my favorite attractions in Las Vegas doesn’t cost any money: the superb Bellagio Hotel fountain show in the reflecting pool in front of the Bellagio Hotel on the Strip. Choreographed to music, punctuated with bright lights and showing frequently throughout the day and night, the fountain show is a hit and — a rarity in Vegas — is totally free.
