Soon, residents and visitors of Macau will be able to get a taste of Paris without having to leave the country, thanks to the completion of The Parisian Macau. The French-inspired luxury resort is currently under construction by the Las Vegas Sands, and the property will even include a replica of the Eiffel Tower that's half the size of the real thing. Mimicking the romance of this iconic French city, the resort is set to be a convincing recreation of the 'City of Lights.'
Inside the resort, The Parisian Macau will consist of over 3,000 rooms, plus nearly 500,000 square feet of retail, dining, casino, convention and meeting spaces. The $2.7 billion resort is set to open later this year, in late 2015.
