Rumor: Former Bally’s Tower Will Become Part of Paris
Originally published at Vital Vegas
But not all of it.
Just the main tower (Resort Tower) at Horseshoe has been given a Horseshoe sign and paint job. The other Bally’s tower lost its Bally’s sign but hasn’t been given the Horseshoe treatment.
That’s because the Jubilee Tower will be integrated into Paris Las Vegas, attached by a walkway. We hear the pedestrian bridge will land in the general area of the former Anthony Cools Theater, near the Paris Sportsbook.
This hotel tower is having an identity crisis, but not for long.
Caesars Entertainment hasn’t officially confirmed these plans, but they’ve apparently been in the works for a couple of years, even prior to the relatively recent rebranding of Bally’s to Horseshoe.
Contractors are reportedly in Paris as we write this (April 25, 2023) as a precursor to submitting bids for the walkover between the Bally’s hotel tower and Paris.
Integrating Bally’s tower into Paris is an intriguing move, adding room capacity to a higher-tier resort without the prohibitive cost of building a new hotel tower at Paris.
The Jubilee Tower was formerly called the South Tower and has 756 rooms. Horseshoe’s Resort Tower has 2,052 rooms.
We don’t recall any room renovations in the Jubilee Tower since 2013 (the Resort Tower was renovated in 2018), so we trust that will happen as the tower is integrated into Paris, along with the requisite Paris interior design flourishes.
We’ve also heard rumblings that tower renovations may include rooms with windows facing the Bellagio fountains, pretty much a “name your room rate” power move.
As this hasn’t been officially announced, details are few and there’s no timeline for when it will happen. Just something to keep an eye on as things develop at Horseshoe.
Horseshoe was Bally’s which was MGM Grand. There will be a quiz.
There’s a lot of activity at Horseshoe and Grand Bazaar Shops, as construction has started on Old Red, a restaurant and entertainment venue that will sit on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd. and Flamingo.
The massive construction crane won’t cause any disruption to traffic, at all, so just move along.
Next door to Old Red will be Bottled Blonde, a $50 million pizza and nightlife experience of some sort.
The only constant in Las Vegas is change. Well, that and people wearing clothes they don’t entirely fit into. But mostly change.
More to come!
