Bally’s Entertainment broke ground on the
Paris Hotel & Casino in April 1997. Costing $785 million and set on 24
acres of land, Paris took 2 and half years to build and opened on September 1st
1999.
The property was designed by Bergman Walls
Associates and the façade is based on a mix of the Paris Opera House and the
Louvre. The hotel features a near half scale, (541ft) replica of the Eiffel
Tower, a two thirds replica of the Arc de Triomphe and the infamous faded
marquee is based on the Montgolfier balloon. Paris did feature a beautiful
replica of the Fountaine des Mers, but has recently been removed to make way
for the recent additions.
After a severe downturn in patronage, due
to the Global Finacial Crisis, Caesars Entertainment began a series of
renovations to the property, beginning with a scaling down of the overall
Parisian theme. In early 2011 the Chateau nightclub and Sugar Factory
restaurant opened on the Strip front side and the target market is being re
aimed at a younger demographic.
