Vegas, Baby! How Tall is that Eiffel Tower, Anyway?
So you're gazing out the window of your swanky Vegas hotel room, wondering – just how Eiffel is that Eiffel Tower over there? Well, hold on to your maracas, because unlike the original Parisian icon, this one's built for short ribs, not marathoning up a million stairs.
Not the Real Eiffel, But Still Pretty Darn Snazzy
That's right, the Eiffel Tower you see casting a dramatic silhouette over the neon jungle is a half-scale replica. Think of it as the Eiffel Tower's cooler, younger cousin who spends more time at buffets than book clubs.
Tip: Review key points when done.

Why Isn't it Full-Sized? Blame the Flugzeugs!

So, What Can You Do There?
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.

This Eiffel Tower replica isn't just for show (although it does put on a pretty dazzling light show at night). You can actually whoosh yourself up to the observation deck for panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip that would make even the pickiest high roller say "Wowzers!" There's even a restaurant on the way up, so you can dine with a view that'll make your Wagyu steak taste even fancier.
