As it was my virgin trip to Las Vegas, Nevada, I had no idea what I was in for. Expectant of nothing, I found this gambler’s mecca quite appealing in a grown-up, hedonistic Disneyland kind of way. Arriving to the Paris hotel was a shock in itself with the Eiffel tower opening up into a casino where the skies are always blue. The American flags in front of such a strongly French symbol are interestingly ironic.
