The two resorts are connected, and initially shared operations, including a single gaming license and hotel reservation system. Paris was built as a sister property to Bally's. Unlike high-end resorts opening on the Strip around the same time, Paris targeted a middle-class clientele. Paris Las Vegas opened on September 1, 1999, following a private VIP party which included Nevada governor Kenny Guinn, Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman, French actress Catherine Deneuve, and businessman Donald Trump. In 1998, Hilton transferred ownership of its gaming properties – including Paris and Bally's – to Park Place Entertainment, a corporate spin-off which would be renamed Caesars Entertainment in 2003. Construction of Paris Las Vegas eventually began on April 18, 1997, with Perini Building Company as the general contractor. However, Hilton acquired Bally Entertainment in late 1996, and Chanen was fired from the Paris project amid the ownership change. Ĭhanen Construction, based in Phoenix, Arizona, was hired as construction manager. It would be built on 24 acres (9.7 ha) just south of the company's Bally's Las Vegas resort. It initially was set to begin construction later that year, with the opening expected for late 1997. Bally Entertainment announced the Paris resort project on May 16, 1995.

The site of Paris Las Vegas was originally occupied by the Galaxy Motel and a small strip mall the latter had included the Little Caesar's casino and a stand-alone sports book known as Churchill Downs. In 2023, Caesars announced plans to renovate one of the Horseshoe hotel towers and transfer it to Paris Las Vegas, a project that is expected to conclude by the end of the year. It is located on 24 acres (9.7 ha), directly south of the Horseshoe Las Vegas resort. Replicas of other Paris landmarks are featured as well, including the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Paris Opera House, and the Musée d'Orsay.Ĭonstruction of Paris Las Vegas began on April 18, 1997, and the resort opened on September 1, 1999.
