text: My fifth visit to Paris and for the first time I was a little disappointed Although the staff was as friendly and as courteous as ever I did not appreciate being charged an early arrival fee especially since I had paid a premium fee for my second night apparently there was a convention booked I had two meals at Ile St Louis the sidewalk cafestyle restaurant and was disappointed with both Though the duck was advertized on the menu as being accompanied by rosemary polenta rather a treat at least to me it arrived with mashed potatoes and a halfassed apology from the waiter Undaunted the next morning I ordered the Eggs Benedict but they were unbelievably salty almost inedible On my third morning I walked up to the Venetian for breakfast I am also irritated that the smoking rooms are all on the fourth floor with no possible chance of a view of anything Smokers are NOT second class citizens and should NOT be treated as such If things have not improved after my next visit I will find a different hotel in which to stay n But I will miss the ambience of Paris I do like the Casino which is large enough to make one feel like one is on the Strip but small enough so you do not need a cell phone to find your traveling companion The entrances are convenient the location is superb and the staff is congenial if in some cases not particularly helpful I will HATE having to find a new favorite place to stay in Las Vegas but find one I most definitely will
