The Pool at Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

"The resort's 2-acre, octagonal Soleil Pool and exquisitely manicured French gardens are a great place to spend the afternoon"

"Standard rooms are disappointingly un-French, and the buffet is overhyped -- but it's easy to be romanced by the cool Eiffel Tower pool and affordable room rates"

"It may seem rather sub-Disney at first glance, but it's by no means all haw-hee-haw cliché: you can also get a massage in a mock-Balinese spa, sun yourself by the rooftop pool or take in one of Broadway's biggest recent hits"

"The LeMans suites have separate living areas, while the Calais suites (overlooking the Strip) enjoy the added bonus of his-and-her bathrooms with whirlpool tubs, dining areas and fax machines"

"The spacious, elegant Spa by Mandara features Balinese-inspired treatments, some of which can be done poolside"

"Combining "all the magic of France" with the "glitz of Las Vegas", this "centrally located" Strip resort placates a "younger" crowd with "modern", "spacious" units (some of which face the Bellagio fountains) housing "well-appointed" bathrooms, plus a "cozy" casino, "nice" pool and spa, "first-class" shows, "excellent" restaurants, "lots" of shops and a "picturesque", Gallic-village setting enhanced by a half-scale copy of la Tour Eiffel; yes, some call it "noisy", "kitschy" and "expensive", but it's "fun in a sort-of-Paris-meets-Disney way", and when you add in a "helpful" staff, admirers can't help but say "je t'adore"

"In addition to the Mandara health spa, there is a fine fitness room on-site, but guests must pay up to $25 for a day pass, which also includes entry to the spa's public facilities: sauna and steam rooms, and whirlpool"
