We celebrated with a very expensive bottle of champagne at the hotel's Mon Ami Gabi restaurant. It's a perfect recreation of a Paris bistro, with an added bonus of sidewalk dining, a rarity in Las Vegas. Of course you're overlooking a busy highway instead of the Champs Elysees, but other than that the illusion is perfect. Our waitress was the oldest person in Las Vegas, and a very colorful character. Food was traditional bistro fare, steak frites, oysters etc. Definitely recommended. (Food-15, Decor-17, Service-15),

Thursday Somchai broke the bank at the Paris hotel, so I wouldn't be surprised if the hotel closed after our visit (actually I would since Stoli had already commented that he recently stayed there). He won about $4,000 in Wheel of Fortune jackpots in less than an hour. The hotel itself is very nice as well, along the lines of New York New York and Venetian. All the usual Parisian landmarks are there, and they've got guys who ride around on bikes wearing berets and carrying baguettes just to add to the faux ambiance.
