FAQ

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The lovely Paris Hotel at 3655 Las Vegas Blvd. South., Las Vegas, NV 89109. Experience everything you love about Paris, right in the heart of Vegas. It's all the passion, excitement, and ambiance of Europe's most romantic city, in the entertainment capital of the world.

Transportation
Cab fare to the Paris should be about $15. It is very important that you tell your driver "Do not take the tunnel. Take Paradise." Taking the tunnel is faster but much longer and can double the fare.
If you would like to take a taxi to our office the fare should be about $25.

Yes, based on the hotels space availability.

Can I stay at another hotel?

No, both single men and single ladies attend. We encourage everyone to rotate partners to maximize their learning. To be a good dancer/teacher, you must be able to dance with a variety of partners and know both the lead and follow.

Do couples have to change partners in class?
We encourage you to change partners because this is a very important part of learning. Naturally, some couples come to the camp with the intention of dancing only with each other, and we respect your wishes if you want to stay together.

Where can we go dancing?
Local ballroom dance events are constantly changing. For the most current information & recommendations we suggest that you contact your hotel’s concierge.
