I rode this at night, assuming the lights of the Vegas Strip would be what really made it a worthwhile experience. But because of its lame back-alley location, the view is disappointing. I don't understand why they built this where they did. The tourist frippery of the Strip is hidden from view until you get near the top, maybe 25% of the ride. The other 75% of the ride is spent staring at the ass-end of various dumpy hotel-casinos. I don't know about you, but a view of the Harrahs parking garage ain't worth $40 to me. If I were to ride again, I would go around sunset -- then you could at least see the mountains and stuff and the sunset during the boring 75% of the ride. As it was, I just stared into darkness peppered with thousands of suburban streetlights on one side....and the aforementioned parking garages on the other. The one thing I did enjoy was the mechanics -- looking at the nuts and bolts and stuff holding everything together. From an engineering standpoint, it's fascinating....but in all other respects, this is an utterly boring ride. The HORRENDOUSLY lame video playing throughout the ride just adds insult to injury -- the actor in said video should be lashed to the exterior of one of the cabins and forced to spin around in slow hell for all of eternity, being pelted by the piss and vomit of a thousand Vegas hookers. UGH! A better deal would be to spend your $40 on two cocktails at MIX, on top of the Delano...it has a much better view, and much shorter lines. (Although when I went, on a Sunday night, there was no line at all...so if you MUST waste your money on this ride, at least go on an off night).

They say comparison is the theft of joy and well that is certainly the case here. We moved here about a year ago from a much larger city which has an absolutely fantastic set of specialty grocery stores. After hearing so much about Reid's, I was expecting the same kind of place. Not. even. close. I thought people must have been joking when I stepped inside this tiny, tiny place. It's cute and clean, but it doesn't have much inventory. While there are a few things here you certainly wouldn't find at HT or the (joke of a) Whole Foods here in Charlotte, they really don't have much selection. And it is very pricey. Although I can get over pricey if you have variety and substance to back it up, which, in my opinion, this place does not. Needless to say, I didn't find anything on my list (and they aren't crazy ethnic items or anything!). I was severely disappointed by this place, especially considering the hoopla you have to go through just to get a parking spot! I won't be returning here in the future.

Not impressed at all.... Paris wasn't a horrible stay, but they gave me a bad impression right from the start. We were staying at the Luxor for two nights and Paris for one night. So we head over to Paris to check-in and right off the bat we get an "early check-in" fee. They charged $15 to check-in at 2pm versus 3pm. Come on!! Don't they want returning customers? Sorry I don't mean to sound like a cheap ass but when hotels try to squeeze every extra penny out of my pocket, it really ticks me off. Also, I get it is supposed to be a french hotel and there is a very obvious french theme throughout the hotel, but I have one piece of advise. GET A STARBUCKS!! Your crappy coffee shop sucks!! Starbucks can run circles around your knock off, and very sloooowwww, coffee shop! I was the only person in line, waited 10 minutes, and didn't even get to order anything. I will probably never stay here again. Paris is way too overpriced for the level of service and amenities I received.

Ick. Surprised this location has not been closed. There is seldom anyone there, the food is terrible and smells like dirty wet towels when you first walk in. Attention health dept, time for a spot check.
