content: This was my 7th time to Vegas and first time staying at the Paris. It will also be my last.... The service and the rooms are absolutely terrible!\n\nWe arrived around 11:30 am on a Weds. We knew it may be too early to check in but most hotels on the strip allow early check ins around noon. So we decided to give it a shot when we arrived. After waiting in line for nearly 20 mins (when there was only 4 people in front of us) we finally got to up to the counter. We gave our name and confirmation number and to our dismay the nice lady told us we only had reservations for one night instead of the four we booked and our name wasn't on any of the four rooms reserved for my wife's company. PLUS, there's now a $25 early check in fee!!! Our jaws dropped... We had to wait two hours for the wife's boss to arrive so he could sort out the confusion. AFTER all that was finally figured out, the nice lady proceeded to tell us that our rooms weren't ready. This being at 3:30 when regular check-in time usually is... She told us to come back after an hour to see. Needless to say an hour later (4:30 for those who can't keep track) and they still weren't. So the nice lady (sarcasm if you can't tell) personally disappeared for another 15 mins to go yell at the cleaning crew herself. A half hour later, the rooms were finally ready. We had dinner reservations with a client at 6... That left us barely an hour to get ready. Luckily we were meeting downstairs at Mon Ami Gabi. After all our hassle, the nice lady never once apologized, nor offered anything to us for all of the trouble we had checking in.\n\nNow... the rooms, ugh. We walked in and I felt like I was teleported back to Chicago where I was walking into my Grandmother's living room. Everything was dated, the old lamps on the walls were crooked, the small living area couch looked like it was from 1935. I even thought I caught a whiff of mothballs at one point. The TV was in the \""living area\"" and was hard to see from where the bed was. There was no closet in the room at all. The old spring mattress felt like 1\"" thick plywood with some sheets and a comforter on top. The pillows were tiny and it was a complete nightmare to sleep. The bathroom featured a single sink, toilet, separate bathtub, and a stand alone shower.... That was about the size of the bathroom on our Southwest plane. Rushing, the wife and I turned the shower on expecting hot water to flow within a min or two. Literally 15 mins later we finally had hot water. We crammed into the shower with only 40 mins to be downstairs. The wife usually takes about 1.5 hours to get ready, so she's not happy at this point. We barely made our dinner reservations with our important client. \n\nWhen we were finally ready to leave, we had the bell hop take our bags so we could walk around for a little while longer before our shuttle arrived. He handed me our ticket to hold our bags and actually stood there with his hand out waiting for a tip. I was shocked, then after finally giving him a couple bucks he just turned and walked away without saying anything. \n\nI've stayed at MGM, Monte Carlo, Mirage (x2), Venetian, and TI... This by far was the worst experience I've ever had at a hotel on the strip. Pick any other hotel but this one, it's not as glamorous as it seems from the outside.
