The
Eiffel Tower Experience at Paris Las Vegas paid tribute to the 125th
anniversary of the original Eiffel Tower in Paris, France yesterday with an
incredible stunt that astounded passersby on the Las Vegas Strip. The
highly-visited Las Vegas attraction kicked off festivities in heart-pumping
fashion when two Red Bull base jumpers leaped from the top of the 541-foot
tower, landing safely in the Paris Las Vegas front drive next to the replica
Arc de Triomphe.
A
high-energy block party immediately followed, igniting the evening with
carnival-style food, drinks and lively entertainment including stilt walkers,
mimes and caricature and balloon artists.
“What
better way to celebrate this monumental event than with a monumental party on
the Strip,” said Regional President David Hoenemeyer as he toasted to the
success of the talented Red Bull team. “These guys really know how to capture
attention, and that’s exactly what they did here tonight.”
While
the original Eiffel Tower was constructed on March 31, 1889, the half-scale
replica at Paris Las Vegas opened in 1999, and has since welcomed more than 10
million visitors. In celebration of the Parisian landmark’s historic milestone,
the Eiffel Tower Experience will host a
series of ongoing events throughout the year. The newest addition is “Locks on
the Bridge,” Las Vegas’ take on the Parisian tradition that enables couples to
declare their love by securing a personalized lock to the iconic bridge next to
the Eiffel Tower Experience.
The
Eiffel Tower Experience is an exact reproduction of one of Europe’s most famous
landmarks, rendered meticulously at half-scale. At 460-feet, an experienced
ambassador welcomes guests and points out can’t-miss Las Vegas landmarks and
interesting historical facts. The tower is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30
a.m., weather permitting.
