Las Vegas or simply Vegas is a Hollywood for everyone. You are no longer one of the audience, but rather part of the show. This is the only place in the world where one can have an up close and personal experience with ancient pictographs, the Eiffel Tower and the Venetian waterways, in as little as a couple of hours. This area in the dessert has transformed itself into one of the world's most luxurious places. Nothing is impossible in Vegas - even fantasies are becoming true.

The Paris Las Vegas Hotel features a half-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower where tourists can appreciate the beautiful views of Vegas from the 50th storey. When the night falls, the tower transforms itself into a splendid evening dress of dazzling neon lights. It's a magnifi cent place not to be missed on the Las Vegas Boulevard.

The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, inspired by amphitheaters of ancient Rome, is one of the major theatres in Vegas. Taking up a total of 5 acres, the Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis is yet another one of the best outdoor amenities in the city. A collection of lavish watering holes and pools, named after ancient Roman mythology, spread over the place like scattered pearls on a plate.

在拉斯维加斯遇见巴黎

拉斯维加斯——这座从荒漠中兴起的不夜城，灯红酒绿，歌舞升平，每年吸引着全球将近四千多万人次旅客来此旅游。而将世界名胜搬入拉斯维加斯，更是这座城市的建造者们想象力的绽放。

拉斯维加斯是每一个人的好莱坞，在这里，你不是台下的观众，你就是戏中人。这是世界上唯一一个可以在仅仅数小时之内看到古老象形文、埃菲尔铁塔、威尼斯水道的地方。尽管这只是复制品，但是这个小小的沙漠已经将自己变为世界上最奢华的地方之一。在这里，没有什么不可以，即便是幻想。

巴黎大酒店以法国巴黎埃菲尔铁塔为原型，以二分之一比例建造了另一座铁塔。游客可在50层的铁塔上面观赏拉斯维加斯的美景。每当华灯绽放、夜幕降临时，铁塔洗净白昼铅华，换上晚礼服，通体金碧辉煌，绚灿夺目，是拉斯维加斯大道上不可错过的一处美景。

拉斯维加斯一个重要的剧场——罗马大剧场，是仿照著名古迹古罗马斗兽场而建。在拉斯维加斯最棒的户外休闲区之一“诸神花园”，得名于古罗马神话的多个华丽泳池星罗棋布，仿若一颗颗散落的珍珠。
