Paris Las Vegas is located near the center of Las Vegas Boulevard South, popularly known as the Strip region. Paris is yet another successful venture by Harrah’s Entertainment. It is flanked by Bally’s to its right and Planet Hollywood Resort to its left. The hotel overlooks the Bellagio hotel and casino with its famous fountains which are the main landmarks of this spot. Located at a distance of approximately 4 miles from the airport, Paris is located at the center of all the fun and excitement in Las Vegas. Wynn Gold and Country Club is also a nearby destination that draws many tourists to this spot. It is also quite near to LVCC (Las Vegas Convention Center).

Paris has always been considered as one of the best casinos in the United States. As the name goes, the theme strongly represents Paris and all its prime landmarks with exaggerated realism. There are several theme based hotels all over the strip but Paris is noted for its architectural wonders and layout. It has a comfortable spa where the guests can have a relaxing evening and it also houses numerous shops, boutiques and restaurants where they provide everything that is French. There is also a grand pool and exquisite pool villas for guests who want only the best. The shopping area and streets that take the guests in and around the hotel are all designed in a classic French style. The images reflected by these new-age hotel takes us back to a Paris of 1920s.

Paris is quite incomplete without the Eiffel Tower and the same goes with Paris hotel and casino. In spite of its enormous health spa and delicious French cuisines, the biggest attraction of the hotel will always be its 460-feet tall Eiffel Tower. This tower is the tallest structure that has become the biggest landmark of Las Vegas Strip. It has given the place a unique recognition that endorses the beauty and celebration promised by this land.

There are several tourists who come to Las Vegas Boulevard only to get a view of the magnificent city below from this tower. These rides are highly in demand and there are special guides who accompany the tourists throughout the ride. The breathtaking view from the tower keeps the visitors attracted to this spot. The site during the night time is incredibly beautiful and hence there is more demand for evening rides. Accordingly, the rates for these rides are also high after the sunset. While they charge 10 dollar per person during the day time, it is 15 dollars after 7.30 pm. Kids can enjoy the ride at half the price which comes to about 7 dollars. This celebrated ride is popularly termed as the “Eiffel Tower Experience” and people staying even in the nearby hotels come to Paris for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The Uruniemi Camping near Inari at the north of Finnish Lapland is located 2 Km outside of the Inari village – which makes it so isolated and really unique.  The camping offers all kind of cabins with or without running water so prices vary and can fit many people.  It is right on the lake so it is amazing and the views are great . There is, of course, a sauna and also a fire cabin where it is nice to sit around the fire  (big enough for 10  people or so).

We called them 2 days before our arrival and even though it was out of season they agreed to open for us and were reasonably priced as well…very nice people.

Phone: 358-(0)16-671331
Directions: When you take the bus to Inari there is a bus stop right in front of it before the bus goes into the village

Inari, Lapland

This is a great hotel for its price and for the location, it is located at the end of the strip (north of the strip) and it offers some really nice rooms at cheap prices. higher floors and the roof (which also offers some rides) offers a great view of the strip. This hotel is great for someone looking to be on the strip, pay less than other hotels and be able to walk to the strip.

I really love the RoomSaver’s coupons book (USA and Canada), they have a site you can print the coupons but usually I don’t like planning too much ahead – I never know where I am going to sleep that night so whenever I get to a gas station or a Burger king or something like that i pick up the book (usually they have a stand on the entrances to these places – especially on highway’s rest areas)  – Some deals in this book are really great and other than one case where4 the motel owner didn’t accept his own coupon, motels and  hotels are really happy to give the discount.

you can visit their site or pick them once you there – Roomsaver site

In every fast food place on the rest areas across north America you can find near the door a stand with coupons book for the hotels and motels in the surrounding states. The coupons book offers some really nice discounts and good deals and beside each coupon there is a small map and address of the place so it is also really makes it easy to find a place to sleep at night.

In Both Banff and Jasper you will find inside the visitor center a phone and above it on the wall a list of all avaliable B&B for tonight,  along with phone number and price, just choose the one you want, call it from the phone and get a place for the night. This makes this proccess much faster and so easy so you will have more time to explore the area.

If you are going to visit Niagara falls you should stay at one of the hotels offering fallsview – we were staying for two nights at the embassy suites on the 26th floor with a huge window observing the falls and a nice jacuzzi as well – very satisfied. The hotel itself wasn’t that expensive (there are some nice deals on their site including packages for 2 night – including breakfast and one nice dinner.)

This was the view from our window…
