We knew that all it would take to make the Caesars maintenance department was Parisian style mock protest to get off their asses and fix the iconic Paris balloon marquee.

Paris Ballon Painted

Congratulations to all VIMFPers who joined us in our request to get this amazing piece of Las Vegas history repaired.

Huge thanks to VT superfriend FiveHundy for spotting the first pieces of upgrade and sending us the photo.

Kinda odd having a MGM-looking lion on a Caesar's property...

@Stevie The balloon is modeled after the Montgolfier Brothers' balloon.

Awesome stuff! Now if we can get them to replace all the burnt out exterior lights on the main Caesars Palace "Palace Tower" we'll be in business.
