Maybe it isn’t the original, but it is an impressive 3/5th replica of it, the tallest structure in Las Vegas (540 feet), and offers spectacular day and night 360 degree viewing. From the observation deck, you can see the glittering city below, busy sky activity at nearby Las Vegas Airport, surrounding desert and mountains. There’s a glass-paneled elevator to take you up, as well as to the glitzy Eiffel Tower Restaurant about halfway to the top.

Except on very windy days, when the tower is closed, it welcomes visitors daily from 9:30 am to 12:30 after midnight. Ticket prices vary, depending on time of day and night. Many Vegas hotels offer half-price or free tickets to guests. Other ticket deals are available for groups.

Of course, Vegas being sensual Sin City and Paris being amorous Paris, the Tower frequently serves as the perfect romantic backdrop for both expected and unexpected proposals (no extra charge) and wedding ceremonies (expensive). Additionally, many long-married couples visit the tower to renew their vows and romantic feelings. Reservations are required.
