Arc De Triomphe, Free to See in Las Vegas

     Among the many sights to see in Las Vegas is the reproduction of Frances Arc De Triomphe.  This Paris landmark is a war memorial that is also the tomb of the unknown soldier.  The Arc in Vegas is approximate two thrids the size of the original. 

                    This is the one in Las Vegas.  They are indeed hard to tell apart.      

 The Arc de Triomphe  is one of the most famous monuments in Paris . It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle at the western end of the Champs-Élysées.  The Arc de Triomphe  honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Nappoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces.  Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknow Soldier from World War I.

Eiffel Tower Las Vegas

     Las Vegas is full of near life experiences.   Reproductions of world famous landmarks and iconic art are all over the place.  Caesar's Palace has a David identical to the original and carved in marble from the same quarry as the original. This post is about the Eiffel Tower of Las Vegas.  While I have always wanted to visit the city of lights, time and money have not been on my side.  So I turn my attention to the Eiffel Tower of Las Vegas.
     The Las Vegas Eiffel Tower is an copy of the one in Paris.  I can't tell if it is an exact copy in every thing except height.  The one in France is 1063 feet tall while the one in Vegas is only 541.

As you can see they are very close to identical.  They are both impressive structures.  The one in Las Vegas comes with a view of the strip.  There is one restaurant and an observation deck.  The restaurant requires reservations and of course serves french food.  The observation deck requires an ticket and prices vary between 10 and 15 dollars.  It certainly gives you more than a flavor of the original.  It is definitely a near real experience

New Night Spot Insert Coin Opens on Fremont Street

There exists a new night spot on Fremont Street in the downtown area of Las Vegas.   It can be found in the block just east of Las Vegas Blvd.  It is known as Insert Coin.  It's name is actually a reference to putting a coin in a video game.  This is an adult Las Vegas version of a Video arcade.  The environment is lounge like.  With cozy niches where video game screens rotate to face cove like seats  for the gamers.  Drinking alcohol is an additional attraction to your arcade experience along with the dance floor and DJ that weaves in a club like feeling. Definitely a unique combination of experiences.  There was no cover charge to get in when last we checked.
