New York New York Hotel & Casino

Good Hotel & Casino

It was a short stay in 2007 and room was big and spacious and was very good.. It wasnt the newest rooms we have stayed in but all rooms in Vegas are pretty good if your on the strip..

Thieves

Where it asks would I recommend this hotel to a friend, I must say absolutely, positively not. My very first night at the hotel, my father and I went down to the casino and the strip for a few hours starting at about 4 PM. I had brought enough money for me to be able to safely play for our three day trip, and I hid it in a book in my suitcase and placed that book under another book. I told my father out loud only in our room what I was doing in case I forgot where I had put the money. We returned at 10PM tired from the flight and our time in the casinos. The next morning, I went to replenish my money for the day, and I noticed that the books were reversed from what I had last left them. The wrong book was on top, and the money was gone. We searched the room and found no trace of the missing money. It is my opinion that it was an inside job and that some sort of listening device was placed in the room. Security came up to check and verify the report we made, and despite saying that ""these things tend to have a happy ending," nothing was done to either compensate or show that anything was actually being done. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone, and I will personally never stay here again. My advice to travelers thinking about his hotel is to enter at your own risk. I only have an opinion of what happened, and based on my story, I will let you decide if you think I am right or wrong.
The hotel and casino itself was not bad. The economy room reminds me of a slightly nicer courtyard by marriott, and the casino is about average size with normal games and several five dollar tables during the daytime.
It would have been fine to have lost the money in the casino, but the fact that it was stolen out of my room made me spend most of my time elsewhere on the strip.

Unique Quality: It looks like New York, end of story.

A great Vegas New York welcome

This is a very good hotel in just about every way. Not really central, rather, the Southern part of what we think of as the strip, but adjacent Monte Carlo and opposite MGM so right in the thick of it.

The Houdini Magic shop has shop asistants who make your change disappear (you'll get it back eventually!) a very good Italian restaurant (I have reviewed elsewhere, Il Fornaio) as I have reviewed ChinChin Chinese Cafe, where you will find breakfast with a twist or two.

Other restaurants and bars are highly rated, we did not get throught them all in a 2 nights stay.

Would say that the rooms themselves are smaller than average, if that is important to you, not a big deal to us. Also the pool is one of the smallest we know on the strip and is part shaded until after lunch, it can get crowded even outwith peak times.

But these are realtively small beer and this hotel is recommended. As always, and especially in Las Vegas, look out for deals, avoid holiday weekends and book in advance!

Unique Quality: Well known for giving upgrades!

On our e-mail to them at booking (the basic Skyline room) mentioned it was our aniversary and we would be obliged if we could have a high floor. We got a Strip view floor on teh 29th floor of the Chrysler Building - yes we also scored an upgrade to the Park Avenue rooms without asking.

also liked the little Greenwich mock up with the Times Square bar, coffe houses and snack bars, looked a bit like the lot in Universal Studios

NYNY

Until recently, NYNY has been priced between the mid-range and the upper range casinos. Pricing has come down, and having now been able to stay here, I can see how it's value was correct. It's a beautiful property. I arrived late on a Monday, so there was no check in line at all. The desk was very friendly, despite the late hour. The rooms are spacious and clean. I did have one fear, that the coaster would keep me awake all night. Luckily, there was no issues. On the property, there is a nice range of dining, including a food court that looks like a neighborhood, and a number of places to shop. The gift/sundry store is tucked behind the check-in desk, near the pool entrance for late night needs.

Two minor quibbles - they seem to be de-theming the casino, and what was once a neat play on Central Park is now very non-descript. The second is that the roller coaster needed maintenance one afternoon, which locked down the parking garage for all intents and purposes. Watching from our room, it took one guy over two hours to get from the top level out to the strip!

In all though, this was a very nice stay, and with rates now in the $50-$75 range for weekdays, a huge bargain!

Good, But Nothing Special

Having stayed at a few different Vegas hotels, I think that unless you are booking a deluxe room or suite, the rooms are all pretty much the same. That is to say, a standard uninspired room. The special things go into the rest of the hotel - the casinos, the restaurants, etc. And I guess that is okay since you don't go to Vegas to stay in your room. That being said, the standard rooms in New York, New York are fine.

The hotel is large enough that it may take you 5 minutes to get from the front desk to your room. The casino was nice and the New York feel was pretty well done. Of course, one of the big attractions here was the roller coaster on top of the hotel.

The 9 or 10 restaurants include Gallagher's Steakhouse and Nine Fine Irishmen, which was a great place to go for drinks and to listen to music. The Coyote Ugly bar was small and nothing special. There are plenty of other more interesting bars in Las Vegas.

We also saw Zumanity by Cirque du Soleil, which was a little odd and definitely not one of my favorite Cirque du Soleil shows.

The location was okay but not center of the strip. That's okay as long as it's not too hot since you can walk the strip to check out the other hotels.

Overall, the hotel was fine. I'm not sure I would stay here again just because there are so many other hotels to check out. If you decide to book a room here, be sure to check out the promotional specials. Sometimes you can get a room for $60-$70.

Hotel Casino

Very nice hotel and casino!

New Look!

I would recommend a stay at NYNY because it is not overwhelming in size, but has all the accommodations you expect in Las Vegas. The new casino looks great and is fun to "play" in. We had a room with a large tub/spa and it was fun. The Spa, once again, was the size where you felt important rather than one of a hundred people that your attendent saw that hour.

Unique Quality: Even if you don't stay at the property you have to check out the casino and 24 Pour. Try the Moose Drewal at 24 Pour.

Lots to see

This casino is fun. We seem to have some luck here with the slots. Nothing fancy, but we like it. I get a kick out of the food court. Reminds me of Times Square. Yet, I do know of some friends who stayed here and didn’t like having the room near the rollercoaster. Way to noisy, so you may want to ask where your room is before you confirm your reservations. They did like the décor and service at least.
