Like the location (mid-strip, across from Bellagio), and the fact that most of the time we are able to get a room with a view of the fountain show. Some of the best food in Las Vegas. Most rooms have been recently romodeled. All that, plus Harrah's (whether you love them or love to hate them) has the best comp program around.

Average rooms in upper midrange. GREAT restaurants and would stop an Mon Ami Gabi daily if I could.

Best value on the strip. Prices and rates are usually "middle of the road" but the property amenities and layout exceeds it's rates. Comfortable gambling atmosphere. One of the best locations on the strip. You will be able to find properties that are "nicer" but I believe for the price...the most underated property on the strip. Case in point...I have never won at the Paris, but continue to gamble there...that speaks volumes for the atmosphere and ambiance.

In this era of de-theming and modernizing, thank goodness Paris still engulfs itself on pure kitschiness! Unbelievably detailed at ever corner, Paris remains the city's best themed resort by taking pride in it's whimsical glamour. From the beautiful chandeliers to the delicious baguettes, here's a resort that offers pure escapism. Now please just paint that faded balloon out in front!

LIke the newly remodeled Red Rooms with fountain view. Dining options are pretty good, if not the usual over priced strip fare. Still like hanging out at the piano bar in Napoleans and having a few drinks. Casino is still pretty smokey and play is tight here. Easy access to P-Ho next door which I prefer to play at. Still I like the older crowd here and drink service has been pretty good the last couple time I have stayed. I'll keep coming back as long as they give me free rooms.

I like the Paris. The rooms are ok, sometimes with a view. The layout is a bit funky but you get used to it pretty easy. I don't like the walkway area as it seems a bit crowded. I do like that it is connected to Bally's.

Craps tables here are usually $10 and $15.

This place is what it would look like if they built a Disneyland in Paris! Wait, what? They did? Hmph. Well then it's nothing like that at all. But I still like the kitsch here. If you go, be wary of the big plastic Eiffel Towers that they fill with red slushy at Gustav's Bar. I heard a bartender admonish a customer that when condensation forms on this particular vessel, it gets slick and will slide down your hand and cut you with its sharp plastic edges. Sacre bleu!

Stayed here about 4 years ago and had a very enjoyable experience. Much like the Monte Carlo, it is very centralized on the strip and allows for easy access to many of the other casinos. Inside, it feels relatively small compared to many of the other casinos, but we personally enjoy that type of vibe. I would recommend this casino to anyone heading to Las Vegas.

I honestly don't know why I like this place. The 6:5 blackjack rules suck but I have won here and had a good time doing so. I like the way the ceilings are painted here and in the Venetian mall. The ride up the fake Eiffel tower was expensive but the view is nothing short of awesome. Also had a great dinner at Mon Ami Gabi. Seemed reasonably priced (for Vegas) and we sat outside with a fantastic view of the strip and Bellagio fountains.

Paris has gone a little downhill over the years but after they finish remodeling the rooms, adding the nightclub and replacing the old casino carpet, the place will fully be back into tip-top shape.
But ultimantly, Paris just has a good feeling and to me, full of great memories of the family and stuff like that.

Stayed here one night and thought it was pretty cool. I like the theme and all.. plus they had a cool little sports book. Disappointed they took down the fountain for some lame Sugar Factory. The Red Rooms were awesome with a great view of the Bellagio fountains.

A great place for couples. Girls love this hotel. The indoor decor is French cobblestone village with boutique shops. Mon Ami Gabi is a great French bistro overlooking the Strip. The bathrooms have separate showers and bathtubs and two sinks. Furniture is old, and there's a little wear and tear in the basic rooms, but the beds are still comfortable. Pool is okay, but not great.

My room probably looked great when this place opened, but I was really disappointed for 2007. Except for the fancy bathrooms, I preferred the rooms in the Stardust tower that I got on closing weekend in Oct '06. The slots gobbled my money real fast which didn't inspire me to bet minimum $15 a hand those nights at the tables.

Paris, oh Paris, what happened? Seriously, WTF??!! When will Harrah's ever invest in some much needed "surgical enhancement" here? Well, I guess the new Sugar Factory is a start...But the "Disney-fied France" is getting old and worn. And the rooms look like "granny-pads". And everywhere from the rooms to the sports bars still have "boob tubes", for goodness sake! Oh, and did I mention the big balloon outside hardly has any paint left on top?If it weren't for Mon Ami Gabi being such a fabulous bistro, I would rate this place FAR LOWER...

I've been up the faux Effiel Tower in the past so I was a bit excited to stay here on my recent trip. One, it was the first time staying at a Harrah's property and two, I received a guest comp from a Total Rewards platnium member. Unfortunately, the bed was hard and stiff. It was pretty uncomfortable, and to top it off the bed would crinkle when you roll over. After grinding for 8 hours, i had the worst 5 hours of sleep in my life. It really messed up the remaining 30 hours I had left. Luckily, we were doubled booked at The Orleans. When we got back after Crazy Horse Paris, we packed up and checked out.

Back when I first started going to Vegas, I liked to play at Paris. The theme was cute, the buffet was world-class, and I wasn't discriminating about finding good rules or getting decent comps. But time has passed, and during that time Paris has gone downhill and I've wised up about what makes a good game. I still love the theme of Paris but its getting kinda grimy, Le Village Buffet has degenerated from a smorgasbord of fine French food to a supremely generic buffet, and I've realized that this is not a good place to gamble. But if you're looking for a lovely romantic meal, seriously consider the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. It may not have the name of a celebrity chef on the door, but it does have wonderful French cuisine in a truly exceptional space. The rest of Paris may not be recommended, but the Eiffel Tower is.

I've stayed at Caesars several times in both the Palace and Augustus towers. This is my favorite of the Harrahs owned casinos. Very nice rooms, very nice pools, great restaurants and great shopping for Mrs. Fox. Not a Cher, Bette, Elton, or Celine fan, so I haven't been to any of the shows in the Coliseum. We also loved Meas Grille and Bradley Ogen restaurants. Haven't yet tried Guy Savoy. I'll update when I do. Huge casino. Table minimums too high or rules too skewed toward the house. Not lucky here.

Caesars Palace is the casino I normally stay at, since I am comped there. The rooms in the Palace tower are very nicely appointed. I enjoy the casino and find their staff very friendly and attentive. The restaurants have never disappointed me. The breakfast buffet is very good, and the patisserie's desserts are incredible. Rao's has great Italian, but Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill surprised me. I had this incredible shrimp and corn tamale that was just outstanding. Talk about great food, I was incredibly impressed with all the dishes at Mesa and look forward to returning.

Well what can be said about the palace i spent the majority of a day here and must say it was well worth it there was alot to see here from the forum shops to the big casino to the atlantis fountain show it was a pretty awesome sight to see how the fountains transformed into a magical kind of show i never would have expected it and the fact that i was never told or knew about the show but it was awesome to see i do have to say it is a bit confusing to manage your way around caesars if you enter from the mirage side you end up in the main lobby then the casino and trying to make your way to the forum shops area was a bit of a trek but if you have patience then it shouldn't worry you too much the palace is a must see if you plan to visit vegas

After reading all of the VT readers comments on the CP page, I decided to stay at Caesars on my upcoming trip. It's either 3 days here or 5 days at any other LV Harrah's property. Review to come! I had reserved a Forum Tower room but was given a upgrade to the Palace Tower with a view of the pool area.

This place may be ginormous, but it's still fit for a Caesar. Bradley Ogden is still one of my all time favorite restaurants in town (fabulous "farm to table" classic goodness!). The Forum Shops still set the standard for Las Vegas luxury shopping. The brand spankin' new Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis is AWESOME! Oh, and did I forget all those sweet goodies at Serendipity? And all of this is right in the heart of The Strip, so you can't beat the location!

The pool area is absolutely amazing. This really is the Temple of the Gods! Absolutely massive casino with a good range of games. We had brunch in the food court . So much to choose from and we finally settled on Chinese. Try the orange chicken - it's awesome.

There comes a time in every player's life where you realize you can't be a high ranking member of every player's club. At some you have to hunker in and go for the high rank. Although everyone knows mLife properties are, on average, superior to CET, TotalRewards fits my play style so much more.
Caesars Palace is where players come to play. The rooms are cheaper and better at so many places on the strip but it doesn't matter. I like learning of dealers that have been working at Caesar's for like 135 years. That's really cool. Dude, those chains on their necks also rock. If you are rolling enough dough, ask the pit boss for a chain like the dealers...they actually have extras right out on the floor.

There's a lot to not like about Caesars, their corporate parent seems hell bent on running the place down. Some of the towers are old and worn, and the odds on some of the floor games are atrocious.

Despite these flaws though, there is still a strong foundation of employees here who deliver great service and understand the 'old school' way of taking care of customers. If you are in one of the newer towers too, the rooms are very nice and the dining, spa, and pool options are all top notch for a mid-strip property.

I finally had the chance to stay at Caesars thanks to a really awesome Total Rewards rate. I had originally booked a room in the Forum Tower but was offered an upgrade to the Augustus Tower for an extra $40/night (which was worth it considering that what I paid for three nights in that tower is about what one night in that tower costs on the weekends). Nice room, and the Augustus Tower is the closest to the lobby as well as Central (the former Augustus Cafe). I would stay there again if the price was right.

My fav place to gamble. Love the PussyCat dolls blackjack pit. Not the best rules in the game, but even when you are getting your ass whipped, it is not as painful because of the scenery. Great drink service. Hotel is very large and hard to navigate unless you are a veteran. Still one of the classics and highly recommended.

Come on, what man of a certain vintage does not hold CP in a special place as the best pools, great shops, incredible floor managers and concierege and fine dining. CP has it all, if they can keep it up.

I never would have been able to stay here if my mother hadn't racked up slot points, but it was great. The luxurious rooms are fun just to be in. I've always loved the Roman statuary and marble decor of Caesars Palace, and of course the Forum Shops are beautiful just to walk through. (I can't afford to shop there!) I ate at the buffet and also at the coffee shop, and they both have elegant settings and food as good as you'd expect. The buffet (Cafe Lago) also has a pianist, at least at the champagne brunch. My complaint, though, is that they make it difficult to use your comp points. It's a complicated system and you lose out if you don't know to charge meals to your room. And it was petty to try to charge me for momentarily picking up a disposable camera off the mini-bar. Still, staying at Caesars is a memorable experience.

Stayed at Caesars Palace multiple times over the past 5 years. Before and after it was Harrahfied. Although I liked the exclusivity and the former feeling of the place as a high roller joint years ago, I do like some of the changes that HET has added including remodeling the property. The level of luxury is not keeping up with the new kids on the block like Wynn and Palazzo so I'm not convinced they will be able to demand the high room prices like in the past. Still the Augustus tower is great digs to stay in. I really like the previous pool configurations there, so I am curious what the redevelopment will add. Seems to me Caesars is just trying to develop the VIP pool business and party atmosphere that other properties are doing to generate more $$$. Dining options are great, if not pricey. Place is huge so it is easy to get lost, but kitchyness of the Roman theme I still like. I am not a fan of the De-Theming of Vegas. Rooms have always been clean, and staff helpful at Caesars from the bellman, housekeeping, hosts, cage attendants, etc. I still think this is a great place to stay if you get a rate below $200 a night and you can get a room in Augustus, Palace, or Forum towers.

Havent been to Vegas in 3 years ( yikes ) I'm hearing CP sucks dead bear nuts now. Until I get back and see for myself, I'll give it a 4 just for the sportsbook. I have had reasonably good luck in the casino ( a big source for my favorites list ), and drink service was ok in casino, good in the 'book. Points for hanging on for 45 years I guess. PS, CP...PLEASE extend Eltons contract, I would go see it again before I saw any of the three Cirque shows I have seen a second time.

Nice place to stay, but not worth the rates they charge. Palace Tower and Augustus Tower have best rooms, and are the only option if I am not getting comped. Service has always been above par, and Qua is a great spa. Gambling here I can take it or leave it. Blackjack used to be good when you could find some $25 tables, and dealer stands on S17. Anymore they have Harrified the joint which means loads ot TR carrying tourist with bad play, and bad odds in the casino. In one sentence Nice play to stay but no gamble any more.
