Vive La France! Paris Las Vegas Annexing Horseshoe Hotel Tower

There's a bit of a French Revolution happening on the Las Vegas Strip. Paris Las Vegas is expanding its hotel territory and taking over part of the Horseshoe while they are at it!

Caesars Entertainment announced Monday that the Jubilee Tower at Horseshoe Las Vegas will be changing hands to its sister property to the south and becoming Paris Las Vegas' new Versailles hotel tower. The casino giant plans on sinking in over $100 million in improvements to the property that will feature gorgeous new rooms.

In order to make the marriage happen, a new pedestrian bridge will be built to link the new (old) tower with the rest of the Paris Las Vegas property. The exterior will be transformed to fit the Paris aesthetic as well.

The tower in question has a lot of history. Originally the MGM Grand, the property opened to the public in 1973. Seven years later, it would be the scene of one of the deadliest high-rise fires in American history. The property soon became Bally's Las Vegas, which became complicated once Bally's got out of the property and inevitably became the company that owned Tropicana down the street. Caesars rebranded Bally's as Horseshoe, and the rest is history.

Now we know it's happening... so when will it be ready? Caesars is saying they expect to have the rooms remodeled by the end of 2023, with a pedestrian footbridge linking the hotel with the rest of the property by early next year.

Just beware, Las Vegas. This is how Napoleon got started. Cromwell, you could be next.

Put your game face on, and get ready for some serious fun!

The ARCADE has officially opened at Bally's (currently being rebranded into Horseshoe Las Vegas), and if you're looking for a new place to take your family and friends for some fun and excitement, this brand new arcade on the Las Vegas Strip is definitely worth checking out. There are over 80 games to choose from, which makes this attraction perfect for any group outing - there's something for everyone!

According to Fox 5, The ARCADE is located on the first level of Bally's near the food court. It is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to midnight. Perfect for early morning adventures with the kiddos and late-night date nights with a significant other. A re-loadable card is used to play games rather than cash, and points are accumulated on the card instead of the dispersion of physical tickets. I love it... SO much easier to keep track of. One key element remains the same though... racking up those prizes at the very end! That's always my favorite part.

An even greater selling point for some... Fox 5 also reports that Caesars Entertainment has said that "the area will feature a bar, which is expected to open in the coming weeks, that will serve a selection of bottled and draft beer, cocktails and wine." Cheers!

With over 7,000-square-feet filled with more than 80 games for arcade-goers to enjoy, The ARCADE features many classic favorites, as well as several newcomers created with next-level technology. With such a mixture, it's virtually impossible to not have the time of your life. Whether you have a competitive itch that needs scratched, or you're just trying to have a fun, chill night, The ARCADE can accommodate your every wish and need. The mix of old versus new is spectacular.

Here are just a few of the games you can expect to see in The ARCADE at Bally's:

Who doesn't love this timeless classic? It's one of my favorite arcade games and truly an arcade necessity. Arcade-goers have been enjoying this game for well over 100 years. You get to roll a ball up a ramp and try to get it in a hole... Perfect for those who possess a competitive edge (cough cough ME). So much fun!

Virtual reality has taken the 21st century by storm. According to Fox 5, The ARCADE "features virtual reality with games like “King Kong” and “Mission Impossible,” a four-player interactive gaming experience." The best part... VR feels so real! It's so cool that this technology has made it's way to the arcade floor for all to experience.

Shootin' hoops in the arcade is always a blast, especially when you're going up against a pal. Rock The Rim takes it to the next level with full HD video backboards that incorporates additional games into the original concept. These different games are controlled by the baskets you make. It's super cool, but honestly, I'm just a huge fan of the funky colors, flashy lights, and graffitied basketballs.

It doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing. If I see one of these bad boys, my hand automatically goes for my wallet and I put a dollar in. I think I'm addicted to the thrill of the experience. The ARCADE features a Big One Extreme, aka a ginormous version of the classic claw machine... Just take my wallet.

Perhaps the most competitive classic of all time... An arcade would be amiss without the piercing, repetitive clank of a plastic puck smacking the sides of an air hockey table. For over 50 years, this game has been causing fights and evoking aggression out of those who choose to participate. Nonetheless, it's undeniable that air hockey is a classic fan favorite and will remain so for years to come.

Listen to Sammi Reeves weekday afternoons from 3-7 on 102.7 VGS

It has been exactly [3] shows since someone on Aimee+Shawn called out sick. Yes, on Tuesday it was Aimee's turn to be unable to do the show when her voice disappeared on her. But a weak voice didn't stop the show! Aimee powered through!

Last week, Shawn talked about the smell of rotten eggs that had taken over his laundry room. At first he thought it was his dad breaking wind... but over the weekend the smell came back. The family evacuated the house, the fire department arrived. Did they escape in the nick of time?

Aimee got a call from her gyno, welcoming her to come in early and fill a last minute cancellation. Aimee explains why that offer will never, ever be accepted by her. She needs time to "get ready".

Shawn took his son out for an awesome hike at Red Rock Canyon. Colin had some wise words on the hike that were beyond his years. Meanwhile, Shawn had some swear words for what they encountered along the way.

Our afternoon host Sammi filled in for Aimee for a day and we got an update on her Raiderettes aspirations. There's only one problem though: her beauty regiment. She's playing Russian Roulette with her hair and nails in the pursuit of savings...

The City Of Las Vegas is fining the owners of the "Vegas Vic" sign for not having him lit up. Shawn defends Vic who has had an absolutely terrible string of years lately.

Aimee's houseguest decided to buy a bidet for his visit. The bidet ended up viciously attacking Aimee's son. Who brings a bidet for a stay?! Really?!

All next week on Aimee+Shawn, tickets to see Capital Cities at House Of Blues on May 11th! Plus, the 102.7 VGS $1000 Stimmy Check keywords continue! Every morning at 5am, 7am and 9am (along with Noon and 2pm after the show). Get your shot at a grand!

There has been a lingering smell of rotten eggs in Shawn's laundry room that can no longer be blamed on his dad's upset stomach. Was his home close to blowing up over the weekend?

Getting your nether region investigated is tough enough... but Aimee has some very stiff rules when it comes to getting her downstairs checked.

It was supposed to be a sweet day out with his son... and it was! But... there were a few seconds where Shawn thought he and his son were goners.

Sammi has a problem saying "no". She always wants to be the people pleaser and we unpack why, while getting an update on her aspirations to be a Raiderette.

Speaking of Sammi's NFL cheerleader aspirations, it's going head to head with her frugality. She hates paying a lot for her beauty routine. Hair, nails, she's going to the cheapest places imaginable... and it turns into Russian Roulette with her looks.

On the Red Rock Canyon hike over the weekend, Shawn's son Colin had such a great line that Shawn had to share it. Colin is like a little, tough ass Buddha.

He's an icon of Fremont Street. But things have been pretty rough on Vegas Vic as of late, and Shawn feels the need to come to his defense.

It's a bitter pill to swallow. No matter what she does, it seems like her oldest son Jayden is almost embarrassed by her at times, meanwhile his dad can do no wrong. She's low-key bitter about it.

Aimee and her husband are welcoming a friend into the house for a few days. He's known for being a little "extra" but this is WAY extra than usual.

Shawn is sick and tired of employees "playing dumb" when it comes to the "tip screen" at the point of sale, and it needs to stop!

Aimee and Shawn are real heroes. They've gone out of their way to try to save animals in their days... whether the animals liked it or not.

For some reason, Aimee has noticed that younger teens who don't have their license yet are taking pictures at gas stations, pretending they are pumping gas or that they own a car. Sure, it's stupid, but we were stupid too.

Kanye. Shia. Jada. Is there a planet we can blast them off to?

Why are all the nursery rhymes from our childhood pretty dark?!

Aimee tried and failed to get a "pay it forward" streak in the drive thru line. It didn't work out so well. Shawn explains why the drive thru "pay for the person behind you" line is really not beneficial for anyone.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend... but is it a deal breaker if he goes for something a little more economical? Be honest.

We can all agree on one thing... moving is awful.

Hey remember the bidet that Aimee's houseguest bought? Well, it got little Roman in the face.
