At Night: The View From A Room at the Paris Las Vegas

Through this canyon made by the Paris Las Vegas and Bally's is a view of
the Bellagio and the Strip. See the top of the Eiffel Tower at left.

My expectations were rather low when I learned at conference I would have attend was at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel. Things turned out for the better when after a first night in a room for smoking I was re-assigned a room that was on the 30th floor and corner room with spectacular views.

Over the course of my stay, I attempted to capture the view from my room at night. Compare these night views with the ones taken during the daytime by clicking HERE. (photos below: TheHopefulTraveler)

Every time the Bellagio fountain show made its big giant finale splash,
it sounded like thunder from my 30th room floor.

the distance.

The Bellagio Las Vegas At Night

Still more time to spare before having to return to my room at the Paris Las Vegas and check-out so I take in another opportunity to take in the views offered at the Bellagio this at night. Click HERE for more photos and read the post "The Vegas Wonder of the Fountains of Bellagio." (photos below: TheHopefulTraveler)

Like a match match made in heaven it seems like the song "Time to Say
Goodbye" performed by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman was made
to accompany the dance of the Bellagio fountains.

The garden in front of the main entrance to Bellagio offers a romantic
respite from the Las Vegas crowds.

Within this garden at the Bellagio is a serene fountain and a view
of the Paris Las Vegas.

It never ceases to amaze me when the fountains burst accompanied by song.

Postcard View of the Paris Las Vegas Hotel

Want the perfect view to capture the full expanse of the Paris Las Vegas Hotel including the entire height of the replica Eiffel Tower? Visit the Bellagio hotel across the street and take the walkway that runs along the south side of the artificial lake. Once you nearly reach the top, turn around and take in the spectacular view of the Paris hotel.

Additional view are offered if you visit the manicured garden that fronts the Bellagio's porte-cochere. Carefully cross over, walk through the garden around the small fountain and you reach the park's railing that sits above the walkway mentioned above.

This post shows some of the photos taken from these two vantage points. The remains of the replica of the Paris Opera House that is obscured by the Sugar Factory restaurant and store is now in full view in these photos. Best of all the greenery and lake of the Bellagio accents the view and obscures the traffic of Las Vegas Boulevard.

Bellagio Las Vegas: Manicured Garden & Artificial Lake

porte-cochere. (photos: TheHopefulTraveler)

A couple of the most picturesque places along the Las Vegas Strip is at the Bellagio. Despite the huge crowds that may visit the resort, few cross the row of cars parked at the hotel's porte-cochere into the quaint manicured garden which offers one of those picture perfect views of the Paris Las Vegas Hotel.

Because the crowds are lacking the garden provides a respite from the craziness in the casino and along Las Vegas Boulevard.  From here cross back over under the porte-cochere and turn right to take the walkway that runs along the south side of the lake for one of the best views of the hotel's artificial lake.

I previously wrote about the Bellagio fountains in a previous post. Click HERE to view the post called "The Vegas Wonder of the Fountains of Bellagio" along with some wonderful photographs.
