Caesars Entertainment unveiled a newly constructed pedestrian bridge connecting the Paris Las Vegas casino-hotel to its newly renovated Versailles Tower on Friday. The much-anticipated Paris Skybridge officially opened after receiving final approval from Clark County.
Spanning 253 feet, with an 82-foot section crossing over a service road between Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas, the Skybridge marks a major milestone in Caesars’ $100 million renovation of the Versailles Tower. Formerly known as the Jubilee Tower when it was part of the Bally’s casino-hotel, the tower has been rebranded as part of Paris Las Vegas, adding 756 rooms and suites to the property.
The refurbishment includes upgrades to rooms, with select accommodations offering accessible balconies overlooking iconic views of Las Vegas Boulevard, the Strip, and the Fountains of Bellagio.
“We’ve invested more than $100 million into renovating the Versailles Tower at Paris Las Vegas, and the pedestrian bridge is a key component of this exciting transformation,” said Ken Ostempowski, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Paris Las Vegas. “Now that the bridge is open, guests staying in the new rooms can conveniently access their favorite offerings at both the Paris and Horseshoe resorts — from restaurants and bars to the casino floor, entertainment and attractions.”
The Paris Skybridge, located near Caesars Sportsbook and the Eiffel Tower experience gift shop, now offers a smoother guest experience.
The skybridge completes a renovation project that began when Caesars acquired the Jubilee Tower, originally built in 1982 as part of the MGM Grand and later transferred to Bally’s in 1986. In 2013, the tower was rebranded as the Jubilee Tower before its final transformation into the Versailles Tower in 2023. Parts of the tower remained operational during renovations, marking its third major rebranding in the property’s history.
While the tower’s exterior has undergone significant changes, Caesars left parts of the north tower’s original design intact when the Horseshoe brand took over Bally’s in 2022. The tower was not involved in the infamous 1980 MGM Grand fire, which claimed 85 lives at the time.
