Eiffel in Love with Vegas: But How Big is This Little Love Affair?
Ah, Las Vegas. The glitz, the glam, the questionable life choices made after 2 am (don't worry, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas... unless you accidentally marry your doppelganger). But amidst the neon lights and clinking slot machines, there stands a majestic silhouette – a half-sized Eiffel Tower! But hey, don't knock it till you try it, right?

| What Scale Is The Las Vegas Eiffel Tower |
So, Why the Shrink Ray Treatment?
Believe it or not, the Las Vegas Eiffel Tower was originally intended to be a full-scale replica. Can you imagine the view from the top? You'd be able to see all the way to... well, maybe another casino. Unfortunately, pesky little things like air traffic regulations got in the way. Apparently, a full-sized Eiffel Tower playing chicken with airplanes wasn't on the FAA's to-do list. So, with a heavy heart (and a slightly lighter wallet), they went with the slightly-less-ambitious half-size version.
Fun Fact: At 540 feet tall, the Las Vegas Eiffel Tower is still the tallest replica of the Eiffel Tower in the whole wide world (sorry Tokyo Tower, you're close, but no cigar... or sushi?).
But Half a Tower is Still Pretty Darn Spectacular, Right?
Absolutely! This Eiffel Lite version offers stunning 360-degree views of the Las Vegas Strip, perfect for impressing your date (or showing off to your grandma on FaceTime). Plus, you can snag a fancy meal at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant (because who wouldn't want to dine 11 stories above the desert with a miniature Eiffel Tower as your centerpiece?).
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
Hot Tip: If you're feeling fancy, time your visit for sunset. The view of the city bathed in golden light is chef's kiss.
