New York New York

I stayed here for 2 nights in Feb 2024. All in all I enjoyed my stay and can definitely recommend it. Location: To me the NYNY Hotel is in a great location at the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip. It's only a short walk to get to the main area of the Strip with the Bellagio, Caesar's Palace etc. The Harry Reid Int'l Airport is also only a short 10 minute drive from the hotel. Parking: Available in a parking structure which is connected with the hotel via an enclosed pedestrian bridge. Self-parking is $18 per night for hotel guests and on departure day you can keep your car parked without additional fees even after check out time. Valet parking is $35 weekdays and $40 per night Fri-Sun. Rooms: As with most (if not all) Vegas Strip hotels, room rates are generally lower on weekdays compared to weekends. Note that the hotel adds a daily resort fee of $42 + $5.62 in taxes. The rooms are very spacious and clean. There is a safe, iron & ironing board as well as a hair dryer in the room. I had a nice view of the Apple Coaster, MGM Grand and Tropicana Hotel (soon to be torn down to make room for the new Las Vegas A's ballpark) across the street as well as the airport in the background. Casino Floor/Eateries/Experiences: The casino is home to almost 50 table games and over 900 slots. There's a center bar to grab drinks and also a small place for frozen cocktails. There are several eateries onsite. America is open 24/7. I had breakfast there one morning and it was ok. In the area called "The Village", you truly feel immersed in NYC. Here you can get NY style pizza, deli sandwiches, burgers, pastries, coffee, crepe, Mexican fare, watch sports at the Watch Bar and dance the night away at the Bar at Times Square which features a dueling pianos show every night. Chin Chin is an Asian restaurant, but in the mornings you can get an American Breakfast Buffet here. It's $28 and with tax and tip I paid around $36. I was not impressed by the food / selections and don't feel like it's worth the money. Lastly, the theater for Cirque du Soleil's Mad Apple is part of the Village. As you walk to the other side of the casino floor, you pass the Irish pub Nine Fine Irishmen and then you get to the Chocolate Bar. They have delicious cocktails infused with chocolate. Afterwards you can explore Hershey's Chocolate World for even more sweet stuff and merch. On the upper floor is a food court and another small bar with craft brews and then there is Coyote Ugly, a nightclub/bar based on the movie where the bartenders dance on top of the bar. Arcade/Coaster: As you enter the hotel from the parking structure you'll see an arcade area and the Apple Coaster. It's $25 to ride the coaster and while I was staying at the hotel, they offered 2 for 1 rides. The roller coaster is a lot of fun. It starts and ends inside the building and the majority of the ride is on the outside of the hotel. Pool: The pool was closed for the season while I was visiting but set to re-open early March. I was able to see it and was not impressed - especially if you compare it to the pool areas at other resorts on the Strip. It's essentially one pool and one jacuzzi and no greenery or anything to make it feel like an oasis. Also, there is a gym onsite, which I did not check out, but note that there is no spa at the hotel. Surroundings: North of the hotel is an area called "The Park" with more eateries such as the Beerhaus and also two arenas: The T-Mobile Arena is home to the NHL team Vegas Golden Knights and Dolby Live is a concert venue across the street at the Park MGM. You can cross the Las Vegas Strip via a pedestrian bridge to get to the MGM Grand and then abnother bridge heading south gets you to the Excalibur hotel. There is also a tram station which offers free rides to the Luxor and Mandalay Bay. I have a detailed video review of the NYNY Hotel on my YouTube channel for those interested. Read less
