If you're in Vegas, you definitely want to take the elevator up to the top of the Eiffel Tower. There's an amazing view of Vegas from up there, as well as the fountains at the Bellagio directly across the street. Something I found funny, I paid less money to go up to the top of the real Eiffel Tower in Paris than I did to go up to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas. But it was still worth it.

The shops inside the casino also merit a look -- the massive legs of the tower replica appear to come down out of the ceiling to the floor.
