Why did the Paris hotel build a reproduction of the Eiffel Tower?
As mentioned earlier, the creation of this reproduction allows the hotel to stand out from the others and this is no small feat since the Paris Las Vegas hotel is in the center of the Strip, in the middle of the most luxurious establishments.

How to climb the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas?
To climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris hotel, you must purchase tickets. To do so, enter the casino through the main entrance and look for the “Eiffel Tower Viewing Deck“. Signs will indicate its presence.

How much does it cost an Eiffel Tower ticket?
The price of a ticket to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower is $24.50 + fees, or $30.25.
For a child between 4 and 12 years old, the price of the ticket is $19.50 + fees, or $25.25.

The rates and conditions I give are valid today. If you are reading this article in a year, they may be different.
After purchase, the ticket is valid for 3 days. For practical reasons, we bought our ticket just before visiting the Eiffel Tower. There was no one at the ticket office and in the big elevator, we were only four people. Taking the ticket in advance is therefore not an obligation.
However, it is possible. With an online purchase, you get an electronic ticket on your smartphone.
