The Parisian Macao
A half-scale Eiffel Tower you can actually ride up — The Parisian Macao is one of Cotai's most photographed resorts.
The Parisian Macao opened in 2016 with a French theme running through the resort, most visibly in its half-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower fronting the building — roughly half the height of the original in Paris, but still the tallest structure of its kind in Asia. Unlike some resort landmarks that are purely decorative, this one has an observation deck you can actually visit.
What to do there
- Eiffel Tower observation deck — paid access to two viewing levels partway up the tower, with views across the Cotai Strip.
- Free tower light show — the tower is lit nightly on a schedule, visible (and free) from outside, no ticket required.
- Parisian-themed shopping arcade — a mall styled around Parisian streetscapes, connected to the wider Cotai retail network.
- Casino floor — 21+ with photo ID required.
