Paris Casino

The last Las Vegas photo I posted was a nighttime shot of the Paris Casino's replica Eiffel Tower at night. For Our World Tuesday, here are some more photos of that same place, during the daytime.
There is a nice cafe inside where we had a couple of very enjoyable meals. I didn't move anything to set this next shot up, I just liked the way the menu was laid on the table so shot it with a very wide aperture.
Even though I don't gamble, I still enjoy spending an occasional couple of days in Vegas as it's such a unique environment.

    This lovely replica certainly lends a Parisian atmosphere to the scene even with the palm trees. Although the real one can’t be beat, this one is truly unique because there is a restaurant beneath where folks can have a bite to eat. :)
