We spend about 3 days in the Las Vegas at the end of our 2006 summer vacation  This time we stayed at the Paris Hotel. Absolutely fantastic! Completely marble bathroom and the Eiffel Tower experience compared very well with our visit to the really thing in France several years ago. We choose a room on an upper floor but not a view of the strip which was about $60 dollars more a night. We spend most of the time out of the room an had great views from the top of the Eiffel Tower which included a discount for hotel guests. The Bellagio was right across the street from the Paris and had great water shows which were even more spectacular at night and from the top of the Eiffel Tower.  Since our last visit in 1998 the Venetian was also new and we had a great time touring that also but it was a bit of a walk from the Paris especially since we'd been walking all day by that evening already. Mark got an all you can ride ticket on the roller coaster at New York New York and rode about 20 times. Nick, Elaine and I enjoyed the numerous and very reasonable buffets. The variety at these food orgies is just incredible. It was a challenge to take small portions so you could taste a little bit of everything. We still recommend Las Vegas as  a great place for family vacations! Pack some good walking shoes!
