With the turrets of the Excalibur in view, passing the Statue of Liberty of New York New York, cruising past the dancing fountains of Bellagio, taking in the singing gondoliers at the Venetian, the Brawny Sherpa and I finally agree on a destination for brunch: We’ll be eating in France today. Up to the Eiffel Tower Restaurant we go.

Of course, we’ve been to the Eiffel Tower before—the one in Orlando, Fla. This one is much less crowded. I’ve been to the real deal, too. Again, the one in Las Vegas is less populated. I don’t have to cram against anyone in an elevator.

There are merits of each—civilized dining in Vegas, good weather in Orlando, and, of course, the original in Paris.
