The Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas

You would like to go to Paris, yes? But the budget is a little tight right now.

Instead you might consider seeing the half-scale exact reproduction of the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas for a fraction of the cost. And it’s about to get even cheaper. 

Travelzoo has just announced that Paris Las Vegas will be offering rooms on 30 Sunday through Thursday dates in June and July for $50 a night. These rooms normally go for $129 a night. And if you’re part of the working class that only gets to play during the weekend, the rooms that normally cost $250 a night will be going for $75-$100. Now that’s worth looking into.

Those warm summer evenings are just right for dining outside. At Mon Ami Gabi you will enjoy fine French cuisine while dining outside on The Strip. After dinner, check out the entertainment at the nightclub, Risque. You can shop at boutiques on Le Boulevard, and never even have to leave the resort.

But if you want a little phyiscal activity head out to Red Rock Canyon, about a half-hour drive from The Strip. The vibrant oranges and reds during sunrise and sunset are enough incentive to put on your hiking shoes and get some fresh air.

Get a taste of Paris for just pennies on the dollar at Paris Las Vegas Resort.

Pool at Las Vegas Oasis RV Resort

The next time you take your RV out for a ride head to Las Vegas. You can have all the fun of the strip without having to drive through the traffic.

Just minutes away by free shuttle the strip is easily accessible. Yet your RV site is clean, quiet, and easy to get to. A warm pool and barbecue area is yours to enjoy.

Relax in the jacuzzi, ride bike, play golf, or just relax with family and friends. My family met there for Thanksgiving. We put Grandma and Grandpa up at the casino across the highway and the rest of us enjoyed our trailers and the park. What fun to have such a beautiful resort and such easy access to the strip.

We even spent an afternoon hiking among colorful rock formations in Red Rock Canyon. A nice outing for the dog as well. We met rock climbers from as far as Canada who claimed that this is one of the great rock climbing meccas.

Another fun day trip is over to Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. A tour of the dam is interesting and educational. We went to Chinatown in Las Vegas for a fabulous meal, and as always did a little retail therapy as the shopping in Las Vegas is unbeatable.

The Oasis RV Resort in Las Vegas is the perfect solution for road warriors who want some city life.
