I have seen it. It's not really a room, basically they took out a blackjack pit and put in poker tables. While it might not really have "room" status, it's in a FANTASTIC location in the casino, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it does really well. Paris is a generally nice casino to be in, I have always liked it, but it didn't have poker... But now it does!

Talked to someone who's "in" there and they said this will be a "soft" opening to get the kinks out, get employees hired and shuffled around, get people used to the idea of paris having a poker room etc etc, you know, the kind of stuff all new rooms must go through when they first open. I suspect the usual kinks that happen in new rooms on opening day, but overall I'm quite hopeful Paris will fill an unfilled poker niche on that side of the strip.
