A pedestrian walkway connecting the Versailles Tower to the existing Paris Las Vegas resort opened on Friday, eliminating the inconvenience of having to access the tower by walking a farther distance through an indoor walkway into the Horseshoe.<\/p>\n

The Paris Skybridge is located near the Caesars Sportsbook and the Eiffel Tower experience gift shop on the casino resort’s second floor.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the final puzzle piece of a refresh — the tower\u2019s first since 2014 — for which Caesars Entertainment, parent company of the Paris and Horseshoe, paid a reported $100 million.<\/p>\n

The Versaille Tower, left, featuring the Strip\u2019s first hotel balconies to debut since the Cosmopolitan opened in 2010, does its best to resemble the adjacent Burgundy Tower but, absent a similar neo-Renaissance design, doesn\u2019t quite pull it off. (Image: X\/Paris Las Vegas)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In addition to the Versailles now (kind of) resembling a Paris tower on the outside, all 756 rooms and suites inside it have been renovated with all-new furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and decorated in the colors of the French flag.<\/p>\n

The Paris Skybridge was originally scheduled to be completed in \u201cearly 2024,\u201d and it is odd why the transformation of the Versailles Tower was given priority over a bridge that would have meant much less of a hassle for its guests. Parts of the tower have remained been open throughout the renovation process.<\/p>\n

This is the third rebranding for the 26-story tower, which opened in 1982 as the south tower of the original MGM Grand and became part of Bally\u2019s in 1986. It was renamed the Jubilee Tower in 2013 and then became part of Horseshoe Las Vegas when Caesars rebranded Bally’s in 2022. (Caesars purchased the Horseshoe brand in 2004.)<\/p>\n

But it soon became clear that Caesars never really considered the Jubilee Tower part of Horseshoe. Though the Bally\u2019s name was removed from it, only the exterior of its north tower received a brown Horseshoe paint job and signage, leading to speculation that ended up on the mark.<\/p>\n

Sisters Reunited<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Paris opened as a sister property to Bally\u2019s in 1999 and the two were always tightly integrated. The two resorts operated under a single gaming license for many years, which explains their unusual aforementioned connecting indoor walkway.<\/p>\n

The Jubilee Tower\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0<\/em>part of the deadliest disaster in Nevada history. Eighty-five people were killed after an electrical fire started in a ground-floor restaurant at the original MGM Grand and spread to what was then its only tower on Nov. 12, 1980.<\/p>\n

That tower, which has 2,052 rooms, was later renamed by Bally\u2019s as its Indigo Tower. In 2022, Caesars renamed it Resort Tower.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
