Bordeaux South Strip View Room 2 Queens

As the name says, this room faces South Strip, so you wake up to a view of the Las Vegas Boulevard corridor rather than an interior view. Blackout drapes let you darken the room for sleeping in after a late night.

With two Queen Beds and space for four, it suits families, friends or two couples. Children of all ages are welcome at Paris Las Vegas, though guests 18 and over are charged as adults. The seasonal pool, Pool á Paris, is free to hotel guests with a room key and has a maximum depth of 4 feet. It typically runs from around early March to the end of October.

A mandatory daily resort fee applies, reported at roughly $55 to $62 plus tax per room per night depending on the date. It covers WiFi for two devices, fitness center access for two guests per day and unlimited local calls. The fitness center and spa are for guests 18 and over.

You get a 42-inch flat-screen TV with cable channels and pay movies, a minibar and mini-fridge, an in-room safe, and iron and ironing board. There is also a desk with a chair and laptop workspace, a wardrobe, an alarm clock and climate-controlled air conditioning. Free WiFi at 25+ Mbps is limited to two devices. Daily housekeeping is provided, and in-room massage is available.

Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. The reservation holder must be at least 21 with a matching government-issued photo ID and a credit card. A refundable incidental deposit may be taken. Early check-in and late check-out are available for a fee, subject to availability.

The resort sits at 3655 Las Vegas Blvd S in the middle of the Strip, so a car is not required. Harry Reid International Airport is roughly an 11 to 15 minute drive. The Horseshoe/Paris monorail station serves the resort, and the Deuce bus stops at the main entrance. If you do drive, self-parking is roughly $20 to $25 per day and valet about $40.

Paris Las Vegas has about 15 restaurants. These include the French fine-dining Eiffel Tower Restaurant, the bistro Mon Ami Gabi, Gordon Ramsay Steak, Nobu and the rooftop Beer Park. Brioche by Guy Savoy offers quick counter-service bites. Reserve the dinner spots ahead, especially at weekends.

Facing Las Vegas Boulevard puts you close to the energy of the Strip, so some ambient traffic and street sound is part of the package, especially on weekend nights. The room's blackout drapes help dim the daylight for sleeping in, and the double-pane windows typical of Strip-facing Vegas towers cut down on the noise that filters up from street level.

The Bordeaux South Strip View Room keeps the same 390 sq. ft. footprint, two Queen Beds and in-room amenities as the hotel's standard rooms, but trades an interior or courtyard outlook for a dedicated view of the Las Vegas Strip to the south. If people-watching the Boulevard and catching glimpses of the Strip skyline matters to your stay, this category is the upgrade worth making over a standard-view room.

Couples settling in for a few nights will appreciate the desk and desk chair for catching up on email, the minibar and mini-fridge for snacks and drinks, and daily housekeeping to keep things tidy without any extra effort. In-room massage can be arranged for a relaxed night in, and the premium bedding across two Queen Beds means you can spread out even if you're not sharing the second bed with anyone else.
