Paris Las Vegas Layout: The Two Towers, the Eiffel Tower, and the Horseshoe Walkway

Quick summary: Paris Las Vegas is two hotel towers feeding a single casino floor. The 34-story Original Tower (2,916 rooms) opened in 1999 behind the half-scale Eiffel Tower replica on the Strip. The 756-room Versailles Tower, converted from Horseshoe's former Jubilee Tower and completed in 2024, sits on the north side and brings the total to 3,672 rooms. The two towers share the same casino but use separate elevator banks. The Eiffel Tower replica stands 540 feet over the Las Vegas Boulevard frontage with the Eiffel Tower Restaurant 11 stories up and an observation deck at 460 feet. An indoor cobblestone walkway connects directly to Horseshoe on the north side, and pedestrian bridges across Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard lead to Bellagio in roughly 8 to 12 minutes.

Paris opened September 1, 1999 as Caesars Entertainment's themed sibling to its neighbor on the north side. The original idea was simple: build a French-village streetscape inside the casino and put a half-scale Eiffel Tower replica out front. The execution kept the theme tight — cobblestone-pattern flooring, painted-sky ceilings, faux Parisian storefronts — but it also created a layout that two-decades-later still trips up first-time visitors. The casino floor isn't a single open room. It's a cobblestone street that winds between bars, shops, and gaming areas with deliberately broken sightlines.

The 2024 Versailles Tower addition complicated things further. What used to be Horseshoe's tallest tower (the Jubilee Tower, built in 1981) was internally reskinned, reroofed in a Parisian style, raised 17 feet, and rebranded as Paris property. The two hotels now share a lower-level corridor, a second-floor connector, and the cobblestone walkway between casino floors — but the elevators, room-key systems, and front-desk operations are split. Knowing which tower you're booked into matters more than it used to.

Paris Las Vegas Layout: The Two Towers and the Cobblestone Casino

The property sits on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard at the Flamingo Road intersection, occupying the block between Horseshoe to the north and The Cromwell to the south. From the Strip-side sidewalk you see the half-scale Eiffel Tower replica out front, a faux Arc de Triomphe near the entrance, and the painted-stone Parisian facade running along the Las Vegas Boulevard frontage. From above, the complex is shaped roughly like an L: the Original Tower behind the Eiffel Tower replica, the central casino floor wrapping behind it, the Versailles Tower extending north toward Horseshoe.

Inside, the gaming floor and shopping promenade are themed as a single connected Parisian streetscape — cobblestone-pattern flooring, faux storefronts, painted-sky ceilings, and Eiffel Tower legs that descend straight through the casino floor itself. The streetscape is dressing on a single connected floor, not a literal map. Don't use the street names or theme labels as navigation; treat them like room names.

Two towers, shared casino

Paris is one of the few Strip properties where the hotel-tower split actually matters for daily navigation. The Original Tower elevators and front desk sit at the south end of the casino floor near the base of the Eiffel Tower replica. The Versailles Tower elevators and a separate front-desk pod sit on the north side near the Horseshoe walkway entrance. The two towers share the same casino, same restaurants, same shops — but if you're booked in Versailles and head to the wrong elevator bank, you'll add 5 to 8 minutes crossing the gaming floor to reach the right elevators.

A practical note for booking: check your reservation for “Original” or “Versailles” before arrival. Both bookings show as “Paris Las Vegas” in the Caesars system but route to different elevator banks. If you're traveling with luggage, the Versailles entrance off the east side has a closer drop-off than the main Strip-side porte cochere.

Two towers. One casino. A 540-foot Eiffel Tower with three separate elevators.

Finding What You Need

The Eiffel Tower Restaurant and the observation deck

The Eiffel Tower replica has three separate elevators at the base, and which one you take depends on what you're doing. The Eiffel Tower Restaurant is 11 stories up with a glass-walled dining room facing Bellagio — reach it via a dedicated restaurant elevator from the lobby beneath the tower legs. Reservations are recommended; the restaurant has been overseen by chef Jean Joho since opening. The observation deck is at 460 feet, with capacity for 96 people, and uses its own separate elevator. Hotel guests in the Original Tower use a third elevator bank at the south end of the casino floor — not the tower elevators on the Strip side.

If you're at Paris specifically to ride the observation deck or have dinner at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant, enter through the Strip-side lobby beneath the tower legs and you're a few feet from the right elevator. If you walk into the casino looking for either, you'll add 4 to 6 minutes backtracking.

Restaurants on the casino floor

Sit-down dining clusters along the shopping promenade and the perimeter of the casino floor. Mon Ami Gabi, the French bistro with the Strip-facing patio, sits at the front of the property near the main porte cochere — the patio is one of the best Bellagio Fountains viewing spots on the Strip and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Gordon Ramsay Steak (opened 2012) is past the casino floor heading toward the back of the property. Hexx Kitchen & Bar (opened 2015) sits on the Strip-facing side with another patio. Vanderpump à Paris (opened March 2022) and Nobu (opened April 2022) added to the dining lineup in the early 2020s. Bedford by Martha Stewart (opened 2022, 194 seats) sits in the same dining corridor.

Quick-service options run along the central streetscape: pastry stalls, a French-themed food court, and a 24-hour cafe. The shopping promenade also lines the perimeter with smaller boutiques themed as Parisian street shops.

Restrooms

Casino-floor restrooms cluster in three locations: near the central bar at the middle of the casino floor, near the front-desk area on the north side close to the Versailles Tower elevators, and along the shopping promenade near the Eiffel Tower restaurant elevators on the Strip side. Theater-side restrooms are inside the theater lobby once doors open.

The shopping promenade

Paris's shopping promenade runs along the perimeter of the casino floor, dressed as Parisian street shops with cobblestone-pattern walkways and painted-sky ceilings overhead. It connects the Strip-side entrance, the central casino, the dining corridor, and the cobblestone walkway over to Horseshoe. If you're using the property as a cut-through on a hot day, the shopping promenade is the most reliable indoor route from the Strip to Horseshoe.

Getting Around: Exits, Parking, and Rideshare

Strip-side entrance

The main Strip entrance is on Las Vegas Boulevard, directly beneath the Eiffel Tower replica. The porte cochere wraps around the base of the tower and feeds into the lobby. From the lobby you can step left to the Original Tower elevators, right to the casino floor, or straight ahead to the Eiffel Tower restaurant elevator. The Bellagio Fountains face this entrance directly across Las Vegas Boulevard — the view from the porte cochere is the same view most photos of Paris from Bellagio capture in reverse.

Self-parking

Self-parking is in the multi-level garage at the rear (east) side of the property. The garage entrance is off Audrie Street, accessed from East Flamingo Road — not from Las Vegas Boulevard. From the garage, a connecting corridor drops you onto the casino floor on the east side, near the Horseshoe walkway entrance. Self-parking is paid for both guests and the general public, with Caesars Rewards rates lower than the public day rate. Confirm current rates at the gate or in the Caesars Rewards app.

Valet

Valet uses the main porte cochere on the Las Vegas Boulevard side beneath the Eiffel Tower replica. From the casino floor, valet is the most direct path to the Strip. Valet is paid for both guests and the general public.

Rideshare

Uber and Lyft pick up at a designated rideshare zone on the east side of the property near the self-parking garage, accessed via the corridor that drops you onto the casino floor near the Horseshoe walkway. This is not the main Strip porte cochere — drop-offs typically use the Strip-side entrance but pickups are routed to the east side to keep the Strip-side porte cochere clear. Follow Rideshare signs from the casino floor through the shopping promenade toward the east-side garage corridor. Caesars Entertainment rideshare zones can shift on event nights, so confirm in your app or with a bell-desk attendant.

Las Vegas Monorail

The Horseshoe/Paris Station on the Las Vegas Monorail sits on the east side of the combined Paris/Horseshoe complex. From the Paris casino floor, walk to the Horseshoe walkway entrance on the north side, then follow Monorail signs east through Horseshoe to the station. Plan 8 to 12 minutes from the Paris casino floor to the platform. The monorail runs north to Westgate and SAHARA and south to MGM Grand — useful for crossing the Strip without a rideshare in heat or on event nights.

Common Navigation Mistakes

Taking the wrong Eiffel Tower elevator. There are three: one to the restaurant 11 stories up, one to the 460-foot observation deck, and a separate hotel elevator bank at the south end of the casino floor for the Original Tower. The restaurant and observation elevators are both at the tower base on the Strip side; the hotel elevators are inside the casino floor itself. If your reservation says Original Tower, you don't take a tower elevator at all — you walk through the casino to the Original Tower elevator bank.

Heading to the wrong tower's elevators. Original Tower elevators are on the south side near the Eiffel Tower replica base. Versailles Tower elevators are on the north side near the Horseshoe walkway. If you're booked Versailles and end up at the south elevators, you're crossing the gaming floor in the wrong direction — a 5 to 8 minute detour.

Missing the cobblestone Horseshoe transition. The walkway between Paris and Horseshoe is seamless — same cobblestone flooring, same painted ceilings, same shopping promenade dressing. You can walk from one property's casino floor to the other's without seeing a single sign telling you you've moved. This is great for indoor cut-throughs but confusing if you're trying to find a specific restaurant or sportsbook and you've walked into the wrong building without realizing it.

Parking off Las Vegas Boulevard. The self-parking garage isn't accessed from the Strip — it's on Audrie Street off East Flamingo Road, behind the property. Driving up to the Strip-side porte cochere and asking for self-parking will send you on a 5-minute detour through back-street traffic to reach the garage.

Using the streetscape labels as directions. The faux Parisian street signs, the painted ceiling sky, and the cobblestone flooring are atmosphere. They don't map to real Paris geography or to a literal floor plan. Use the towers, the Eiffel Tower base, and the Horseshoe walkway as anchors; ignore the theme dressing.

Connections to Other Casinos

To Horseshoe Las Vegas (north, indoor cobblestone walkway)

The indoor cobblestone walkway between Paris and Horseshoe is the most seamless casino-to-casino transition on the Strip. From the Paris casino floor, follow signs for Horseshoe (or the shopping promenade) toward the north side of the property. The walkway is about 0.1 miles, takes 3 to 5 minutes, and stays indoors and climate-controlled the entire way. The cobblestone flooring and faux storefront dressing continue across the property line, so you may not realize you've crossed into Horseshoe until you see the property's signage on the other side. The Versailles Tower at Paris (the 2024 conversion of Horseshoe's former Jubilee Tower) also has a second-floor connector to Horseshoe on the north side — useful if you're staying Versailles and want a fast indoor route to either casino floor.

To Bellagio (west, pedestrian bridges across Flamingo Rd and Las Vegas Blvd)

Bellagio sits directly across Las Vegas Boulevard from Paris at the Flamingo Road intersection — the two properties face each other across the Bellagio Fountains. Exit Paris on the Strip side near the Eiffel Tower replica and take the elevated pedestrian bridge over Flamingo Road, then a second bridge across Las Vegas Boulevard. Both bridges have escalators at each end and stay open 24 hours. Plan 8 to 12 minutes door to door — closer to 10 if you're starting from a Versailles Tower room. From Bellagio you can continue west on the Aria Express tram to Aria and Park MGM, or south on the pedestrian bridges to Cosmopolitan.

To Caesars Palace (northwest, indoor route via Horseshoe)

The most reliable indoor route from Paris to Caesars Palace runs through Horseshoe: walk the cobblestone walkway north into Horseshoe, exit Horseshoe on the west side, then use the pedestrian bridges across Las Vegas Boulevard. Plan 15 to 20 minutes door to door. The outdoor route across Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard is slightly shorter but spends more time on the sidewalk — better in winter, worse in July. Detailed step-by-step directions are in our Bellagio to Caesars Palace guide, which covers the same bridge cluster.

To Planet Hollywood, The Cromwell, and the central Strip

Planet Hollywood sits one block south of Paris across the next intersection — cross Flamingo Road, then cross Harmon Avenue, about 8 to 10 minutes total. The Cromwell sits directly across Flamingo Road from Paris on the southwest corner — about 5 minutes via the Flamingo Road pedestrian bridge. The Flamingo, LINQ Promenade, and Caesars Forum all sit on the same Caesars Entertainment cluster to the northwest via the Horseshoe walkway and the Forum Sky Bridge.

Wheelchair, scooter, and stroller access

The cobblestone-pattern flooring throughout the casino and the Horseshoe walkway is decorative rather than literal cobblestone — it's smooth-finished and step-free, so wheelchair, scooter, and stroller access is generally good across the casino floor and the walkway between Paris and Horseshoe. The Strip-side pedestrian bridges to Bellagio use escalators at each end with elevator availability that's worth confirming with a bell-desk attendant on arrival. The main Strip-side porte cochere is step-free, as are the valet and east-side rideshare zones. The Eiffel Tower observation deck and Eiffel Tower Restaurant elevators are both wheelchair-accessible. The self-parking garage corridor that drops onto the casino floor is at-grade and step-free.

Navigation Tips

• Check your reservation for “Original” or “Versailles” before arrival. Both show as “Paris Las Vegas” in the booking system but route to elevator banks on opposite sides of the casino floor. Knowing which one in advance saves 5 to 8 minutes on the first walk to your room.
• Three Eiffel Tower elevators, three different jobs. Restaurant elevator (11 stories up to dining), observation elevator (460 ft up to the deck), and Original Tower hotel elevator bank (south side of the casino). Match the elevator to the trip before you start walking.
• For self-parking, enter from Audrie Street off East Flamingo Road. Not from the Strip. The Strip-side porte cochere is valet-only in practice; trying to self-park from there sends you on a back-street detour.
• For the Bellagio Fountains view from a Paris restaurant, sit at Mon Ami Gabi's patio or the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. Both face directly across Las Vegas Boulevard at the fountain show.
• Use the Horseshoe cobblestone walkway as your indoor cut-through. It connects Paris and Horseshoe seamlessly, stays climate-controlled, and is one of the few routes on the Strip where you can walk between two full-size casinos without going outside.
• For the Las Vegas Monorail, you're walking through Horseshoe. The Horseshoe/Paris Station is on the east side of the combined complex. From the Paris casino floor, plan 8 to 12 minutes to reach the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the layout of Paris Las Vegas?

Paris Las Vegas is organized around two hotel towers and a central casino floor themed as a French-village streetscape. The 34-story Original Tower opened in 1999 with 2,916 rooms; the 756-room Versailles Tower, converted from the adjacent Horseshoe's former Jubilee Tower and completed in 2024, brings the total to 3,672 rooms. The half-scale Eiffel Tower replica sits over the Las Vegas Boulevard frontage with the Eiffel Tower Restaurant 11 stories up and an observation deck at 460 feet. The casino floor (about 95,263 sq ft) runs through a cobblestone interior dressed as Parisian streets, with the shopping promenade and dining lining the perimeter. An indoor cobblestone walkway connects directly to Horseshoe Las Vegas on the north side.

How is Paris Las Vegas laid out?

Paris is one connected complex split between two hotel towers and a shared casino floor. The Original Tower stands behind the Eiffel Tower replica on the Las Vegas Boulevard side and opens directly onto the central casino. The Versailles Tower sits on the north side, sharing its lower-level corridors with Horseshoe (its former owner). Inside, the casino floor and shopping promenade are themed as a Parisian streetscape: faux storefronts, cobblestone-pattern flooring, and a painted ceiling sky over the central gaming area. Both towers feed into the same casino, but the elevator banks are separate — Original Tower elevators are at the south end near the Eiffel Tower base, and Versailles Tower elevators are on the north side near the Horseshoe walkway.

Is Paris connected to Horseshoe Las Vegas?

Yes. Paris and Horseshoe (formerly Bally's) share an indoor cobblestone walkway between their casino floors, about 0.1 miles end to end. The cobblestone styling continues across the property line, so the transition is seamless and many visitors don't notice they've crossed from one casino to the other. The Versailles Tower at Paris was Horseshoe's Jubilee Tower until the 2024 conversion, so the two properties also share a second-floor connector at the tower's north end. The two casinos originally operated under a single gaming license and reservation system, which is why the layouts feel continuous rather than adjacent.

How do you get from Paris Las Vegas to Bellagio?

Paris sits directly across Las Vegas Boulevard from Bellagio at the Flamingo Road intersection. Exit Paris on the Las Vegas Boulevard side near the Eiffel Tower replica, take the elevated pedestrian bridge over Flamingo Road, then a second bridge across Las Vegas Boulevard to drop you onto the Bellagio property near the north side. Plan 8 to 12 minutes door to door — closer to 10 if you're starting from a Versailles Tower room. The bridges have escalators at every level and stay open 24 hours. The Bellagio Fountains and the Eiffel Tower observation deck both look out across this intersection, so the bridge route also doubles as the best photo path between the two properties.

Where is the Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris Las Vegas?

The Eiffel Tower Restaurant is 11 stories up inside the half-scale Eiffel Tower replica, accessed by a dedicated elevator at the base of the tower on the Strip side of the property. Enter through the lobby beneath the Eiffel Tower legs — the restaurant elevator is separate from both the observation-deck elevator and the hotel elevators. Reservations are recommended. The restaurant is overseen by chef Jean Joho and has run since the property opened in 1999. The half-scale Eiffel Tower itself stands 540 feet, with the observation deck a further 460 feet above ground level reached by its own separate elevator.

Does Paris Las Vegas have valet parking?

Yes. Valet and self-parking are both available at Paris. Valet uses the main porte cochere on the Las Vegas Boulevard side, beneath the Eiffel Tower replica. Self-parking is in the multi-level garage at the rear (east side) of the property, accessed from Audrie Street off East Flamingo Road. The garage connects to the casino floor through a corridor on the east side near the Horseshoe walkway entrance. Both valet and self-parking are paid for guests and the general public, with Caesars Rewards rates lower than the public day rate. Confirm current rates at the gate or via the Caesars Rewards app.

Where is Paris Las Vegas located?

Paris Las Vegas is at 3655 South Las Vegas Boulevard, on the east side of the Strip at the Flamingo Road intersection in Paradise, Nevada. It sits directly across Las Vegas Boulevard from Bellagio (west), across Flamingo Road from The Cromwell (south), connected to Horseshoe Las Vegas on the north side via an indoor cobblestone walkway, and one block from Planet Hollywood across the next intersection to the south. It opened on September 1, 1999 and is operated by Caesars Entertainment. The Horseshoe/Paris monorail station is on the east (rear) side of the property and connects to the wider Las Vegas Monorail system.
