About this audio guide
This guide to Paris Las Vegas traces the night in September 1999 when French film star Catherine Deneuve flew in to switch on the Strip's half-scale Eiffel Tower, built at half height only because surveyors found the full-scale version would sit inside McCarran Airport's flight path. It follows the five thousand tons of steel, three hundred thousand decorative rivets, and the paint chips sourced from the original Paris tower to match its color. Look up at the tower now, and picture the tens of thousands who packed the Strip below on opening night.
