Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck

The Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck is an observation platform 46 stories up a half-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas, 3655 S Las Vegas Blvd, on the Center Strip of Las Vegas, Nevada. The tower's legs pass through the casino floor, and visitors reach the deck by a glass elevator from the hotel's lower level. At the top, an open-air platform wraps the structure and offers a close view of the Bellagio fountains directly across the Strip, along with the Caesars Palace and Venetian towers, the High Roller wheel and the surrounding desert and mountains. A visit takes 30 to 45 minutes, including the elevator ride, time on the deck and photographs. Daylight visits show the layout of the Strip, while after dark the lights and fountain shows make the setting more dramatic. The best vantage point for the fountains is the north-east side of the deck, where visitors look down on the lake as shows begin at 8:00 PM and run every 15 minutes. Photographers also favour the corner facing the Bellagio for wide shots. Tickets cost about $27 to $35 depending on the date, and children three and under enter free. The deck usually opens in the afternoon and runs to midnight, with last entry at 11:30 PM, and private events can close it occasionally. Crowds are heaviest on weekend evenings, especially around fountain shows, and midweek afternoons are quieter. The monorail's Bally's and Paris Las Vegas station and the Deuce bus both stop nearby.
