One of the hotel towers at the former Bally\u2019s is getting an overhaul and will be integrated into Paris Las Vegas. One of the enhancements will be balconies, and they\u2019re already being built.<\/p>\n

Balconies in Las Vegas hotels are largely a thing of the past, thanks to gravity. Don\u2019t make it awkward, that\u2019s our job.<\/p>\n

When these newly-balconied rooms open at Paris, they are going to make bank.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The new Paris tower will definitely be kiki-friendly, assuming people still use that term.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The switch of the Jubilee tower (Bally\u2019s, now Horseshoe) to the Versailles tower (Paris) is taking its sweet time, especially since we broke the news<\/a> way back in April 2023 the tower would be transitioning.<\/p>\n

Honestly, is there anything we don\u2019t know other than how to perform even the most rudimentary math calculations? Seriously, what in the hell are exponents and what have they done for us lately?<\/p>\n

Here are the balconies being installed at Paris. Big thanks to our friend @JamesinLasVegas<\/a> for the pics.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Sometimes, we\u2019re fascinated with engineering and construction. Other times, we\u2019re prefer to not know.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After we shared plans for the Jubilee tower, Caesars Entertainment confirmed the scoop and provided additional details which we promptly forgot.<\/p>\n

Basically, there will be a bridge between the former Bally\u2019s tower and Paris, and the west side of the hotel tower will have balconies, giving Cosmo a run for its money.<\/p>\n

The views from the Versailles tower are expected to be spectacular, as they will overlook The Strip, including the vaunted fountains at Bellagio. Just avoid looking down at the Grand Bazaar Shops unless you are in possession of a motion sickness bag.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Why is this Bally\u2019s tower becoming part of Paris? Capitalism. It\u2019s very popular now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hopefully, all our squeamish readers have stopped reading by now, because we have to deal with the reality of balconies. Specifically, people sometimes jump from them.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas media rarely reports on suicides at Las Vegas hotels, but we like to think people are grown-ups and understand suicide is tragic, not just a Las Vegas thing and sometimes people cope with tragedy in different ways, including sometimes with dark humor, which we definitely do not condone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We wrote a story about how people die in Las Vegas<\/a>. Somebody has to do it.<\/p>\n

Yes, liability is a concern with balconies, and a number of Las Vegas hotels used to have them, but they\u2019ve been closed off, thanks to lawyers.<\/p>\n

Gravity and lawyers ruined pool diving boards, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Expect to pay a premium for these rooms. Worth it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

However, Caesars Entertainment has bravely decided to move forward with its plans for balconies, perhaps inspired by the fact a room with a balcony overlooking the F1 track could bring $15,000 a night, roughly.<\/p>\n

Seriously, we can\u2019t make our collective decisions based upon potential tragedies. Seatbelts, maybe, and motorcycle helmets, fine, but everyone taking off their shoes and belts at the airport? Dumb.<\/p>\n

Life is meant to be lived, and balconies are a blast. Except for people like us with heights issues, but that\u2019s beside the point.<\/p>\n

We want a world with balconies and diving boards and Jarts.<\/p>\n

For our fellow youths, Jarts were a fun game where kids threw giant darts high into the air in the direction of their family, friends and neighborhood pets. At some point, Jarts were deemed \u201cunsafe\u201d and the eye patch industry collapsed faster than a bridge hit by a freight barge. We literally mentioned dark humor a few paragraphs ago, you colossal baby.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Behold, the exact moment the fun stopped and America was ruined.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If someone\u2019s going to end it all, it\u2019s unfair to single out balconies. They\u2019ll find a way. We haven\u2019t closed all the casino parking garages (where most suicides in Las Vegas take place), and our country certainly hasn\u2019t done anything about the ready access to guns. So, leave balconies alone.<\/p>\n

Caesars Entertainment has pretty much blown through its target dates for completing the $100 million renovation of the Versailles tower, but we trust it (and the connecting bridge) will be completed by the end of 2024. November would be a good deadline, as F1 will be held November 21-23, 2024.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be keeping an eye on the progress at Paris. Well, James will. We try avoid going \u201coutdoors\u201d unless it\u2019s to spend 14 hours in line to get lottery tickets in Primm. We\u2019re a little sensitive to light due to all the Jarts injuries. Thanks a lot, Mark Newkirk. Long story.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
