==History==
===Development and construction===
[[File:The Parisian under construction on August 28th 2015.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The Parisian under construction in August 2015.]]
The Parisian Macao was estimated to cost around $2.5 billion and is being funded by Las Vegas Sands with $1.5 billion in bank loans and $900 million to $1 billion in cash. The company will also have to pay a penalty of 900,000 patacas ($112,700) for the delay in developing the plot.<ref name="plentalypari"/>

Construction began in February 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-30/las-vegas-sands-sales-beat-analysts-estimates-on-macau-gains.html|title=Las Vegas Sands Rises as Macau Casino Results Beat Forecasts|author=Christopher Palmeri|date=1 February 2013|access-date=21 August 2014|publisher=[[Bloomberg News]]}}</ref>

=== Opening (2016) ===
Originally expected to be operational in late 2015,<ref name="investorscandschina" /> the completion of The Parisian Macao was delayed and finally opened in September 2016. However, its launch quarter results were below expectations.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/muhammadcohen/2017/02/03/why-mass-market-remains-a-better-bet-over-vip-for-macau|title=Why Mass Market Remains A Better Bet Over VIP For Macau|last=Cohen|first=Muhammad|newspaper=Forbes|access-date=2017-02-16}}</ref>

=== Downsizing (2019) ===
In 2019, 600 rooms in The Parisian Macao were renovated to become 300 new suites to meet rising demands.<ref>{{Cite web|title=GGRAsia – Sands China mass-market leader in next 5 yrs: Bernstein|url=https://www.ggrasia.com/sands-china-to-be-mass-market-leader-in-next-5-yrs-berstein/|access-date=2021-02-21|website=GGRAsia|language=en-US}}</ref> This brings the total room count from the original 3,000 rooms and suites to approximately 2,700.

==Design==
The Parisian Macao features a half-scale 525-foot [[Eiffel Tower]] as one of its landmarks.<ref name="forbes"/>

The property has approximately 2,700 hotel rooms, 170 shops and 56,000 square feet of meeting space. In addition, the resort features a 1,200-seat theatre. For the first month of the hotel's opening, the theatre hosted [[Thriller Live]], and hopes to attract more [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] and [[West End of London|West End]] performances.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scmp.com/destination-macau/article/2014981/first-look-inside-us27-billion-parisian-macao |title=First look inside the US$2.7 billion Parisian Macao |website=scmp.com |date=September 5, 2016 |first=Matthew |last=Keegan }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos-gaming/new-27-parisian-resort-open-tuesday-macau |title=New $2.7 Parisian resort to open Tuesday in Macau |website=[[Las Vegas Review-Journal]] |date=September 10, 2016|first=Richard |last=Velotta }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/travel/article/2019405/parisian-macao-all-you-need-know-about-new-resort |title=The Parisian Macao: all you need to know about new resort |website=scmp.com |date=September 15, 2016 |first=Ed |last=Peters }}</ref>
