Escape to Parisian Paradise at French Restaurants on the Strip

From the great pyramids of Luxor to the canals of Venice at The Venetian, visitors can travel the world during a short weekend stay in Las Vegas.

But there’s one culture so prominent and powerful throughout the Strip that it outshines the others. It can be found in the Arc de Triomphe that stands proudly next to the Eiffel Tower outside Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, or in the iconic replicas along the Strip modeled after the outside of the Louvre. But its final and most delicious form is in the culture and cuisine served up at some of the top-rated, award-winning French restaurants along the Strip.
