This building was built in 1920-1923 by the architect Frédéric Bertrand (1869-1956). Dorel was founded in 1900, as the name on the façade recalls. Its main activity was the reproduction of drawings, architects' plans, estimates, specifications , etc. The Dorel brothers developed gelatin-based reproduction processes that made it possible to make photocopies ahead of their time. The company closed its doors in the 1970s.

Ok Gents — So now that you are here at the Paris Hotel & Casino — What Now? Surely the Coronavirus Recession has been difficult.
Most stage shows required to operate at 50% capacity, or less, aren’t ready to reopen. Most nightclubs aren’t ready to reopen and manage Social Distancing. Most restaurants required to operate at 50% capacity are going to be very busy during weekends and very slow, or closed, during the week days.
So how do you convince your very lovely lady back home to end her self-imposed Coronavirus Quarantine and jump on an airplane to be with you? Somehow you need to convince your very lovely lady that even with more people on the Strip, that it’s still possible to get a good table at the best restaurants — even on the weekends! 😷🤔
So let’s start by trying to bag a Strip-View patio table for dinner at Mon Ami Gabi!! 😏
Gents — How do you feel now that all the hotel thermal checkpoints have been removed, and that all the COVID-19 security guards have been moved away from the entrances? How do you feel now that all the bars are up and running? 🤔
And Yes — Even though it’s unworkable for a solo guest to purchase a single seat for a Vegas production stage show, it’s still a relief that stage shows are slowly making a comeback on the Vegas Strip! 😔
And Yes — It’s bothers you that it’s still unworkable for a man and a woman to dance together in a ballroom, or in a cocktail lounge, eventually one day it will be possible for men and women to go out dancing again. 😔
So Gents, do not allow yourselves to be mad or sad that the Governor’s state order to open bars and stage shows hasn’t gotten everything back to normal yet, in time, everything will get better. So continue your night explorations, and do so because even in the midst of the Coronavirus Global Pandemic and the Coronavirus Recession, Life Is Still Good Here!! 😷😉

Gentlemen -- Do you remember the typical Vegas trips you and your very lovely lady took way back between 1997 and 2005? Of Course you do! Back then, the ARC Bar where you are sitting at right now, sipping frozen Strawberry Margaritas beneath the arches of the soaring Eiffel Tower, used to overlook the Grand Paris Water Fountains. The Paris Fountains were big, but not nearly as big as the Fountains of Lake Bellagio across the street. Back then, the Bellagio Resort & Casino was slightly older than the newly built Paris Hotel & Casino. Back then, the Paris had the second most romantic water fountains on the entire Strip! The Sugar Factory Kitchen & Patio Bar, now the HEXX Kitchen & Bar, hadn't been built yet. You and your very lovely lady were sad when they tore down the Paris water fountains. 😔
You and your very lovely lady would typically fly in on Wednesday, one day in advance of the big national ballroom dance competition. Dance couples from all over the country and from overseas would come to compete. You two would usually have a big dress up dinner either at the steakhouse at Bally's, or at the steakhouse at the Paris, or if the big dance competition was being held at the Luxor, y'all would have dinner at Tender Steak & Seafood. And then after that, you two would seldom make it further than your hotel room and the bathroom. Y'all would arrive at the ballroom around around 8am to begin your freestyle Open-Amateur and Open-Silver Pro-Am dance heats. You two would dance single heats all morning and afternoon, and then dance multi-dance Amateur and Pro-Am heats all night long until the championship heats ended late at night around midnight. Thursdays were reserved for the five American Rhythm dances (Cha-Cha, Rumba, Swing, Bolero, and Mambo). Fridays were reserved for the four American Smooth dances (Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, and Foxtrot). Saturday and Sunday were reserved for the International Ballroom, the International Latin, and the Country & Western freestyle and multi-dance dance heats and championships, and you two were expected to be in the ballroom all day long to support the dance team and your fellow dance couples competing those two days.
Too often you and your very lovely lady didn't make it out of the ballroom until around midnight. But when the day's contests were over, you two would come out here and sit and do what you are doing right now. 🤔
So tonight at nearly midnight of your last night in Vegas, you are busy doing what you and your woman used to do back then more than 20 years ago. You are trying desperately to stop time and recapture the magic you felt during the last five nights of your Fabulous Vegas Vacation. 😔
Gentlemen — It’s been a long and very busy Day One, so what have you learned?
You understand that it will be difficult for your very lovely lady to adjust to the new normal of contact-free travel. Initially your very lovely lady will be uncomfortable getting through the airport and with getting through hotel check-in and check-out using only her 🍎 iPad or SmartPhone. Your woman may not have much patience with having to use her 🍎 iPad or SmartPhone to read QR Codes to open restaurant and bar menus. Your woman won’t be used to using her 🍎 iPod or SmartPhone to work the hotel elevators and as a door key to the hotel room. Your very lovely lady is terrified of catching COVID-19 and therefore she will be terrified by the big crowds of people crowding football watch parties all up-and-down the Vegas Strip on NFL Sundays. 🤔
And now there are whispers among the crowd of maybe another Vegas shutdown! 😒
So do not let yourself be mad or sad that you’ve learned that things have not really returned to normal on the Vegas Strip. Head on back to your home base at the NY-NY, conclude Day One of your seven day fling, and get a good night’s sleep. You have much more exploring of the Fabulous Las Vegas Strip to do! And do so because in spite of the Coronavirus Global Pandemic and the on-going Coronavirus Recession — Life Is Still Good Here!! 😉😷

Gentlemen — Over the course of nearly 30 years of Loving - of Living - and of Leaving Las Vegas, much of your time spent here on this fabulous stretch of desert real estate could be characterized as busy and frantic but with some brief and remarkable periods of calm leisure. But in 2020, things have been different — No Big Shows, No Nightclubs, No Busy Ballroom Dance Contests, No Conventions, No Annual Corporate Meetings, No Professional Workshops, No Big Sporting Events — No Distractions! 🤔
Other than the numerous Sunday watch parties that happened up-and-down the Strip due to the NFL game between the visiting Denver Broncos and the hometown Las Vegas Raiders, your time here has been spent just eating well, drinking well, sleeping well, and exploring very well. 🤔 So how does it feel not having to look at your wristwatch for the last four days?
And how weird will it feel four months from now when you return to discover that big shows and big nightclubs have returned? How weird will it feel when all the big restaurants are open and are running nearly fully staffed and at pretty much a full schedule? 🤔😷
