The half-scale replica of the Arc de Triomphe sits near the sidewalk of the Las Vegas Strip, mimicking the stone arches of Paris. It serves as an entryway for the hotel, constructed with a steel frame and custom-molded concrete to match the appearance of the original in France. When the property opened in nineteen ninety-nine, this structure established the hotel’s theme. Engineers had to ensure the facade could withstand high desert winds while maintaining the delicate carvings found on the Parisian landmark.
