I have not been to New York, New York to date (September 15, 2011) so, to see the New York Bridge imitation is Las Vegas is so nice for me...I was touring my family from Japan around Las Vegas and told them: "This is the famous bridge in New York!"

The Statue of Liberty in front of New York, New York Hotel is pretty. To those of us who had not seen the original Statue of Liberty in New York, this statue is good enough to see! It's not real, but the symbol is the same- freedom!

I took all the pictures of the t-shirts and sweatshirts signed by the men and women who helped during the terrorist attack of the Twin Towers in New York City but this page will not be enough. For each and every t-shirt, there were the signatures of those firemen who were involved during that sad day.

I pray for the brave men and women who went to help during that memorable sad day of U.S. history! May those people who died find peace and may those people who survived find peace and may they find comfort that millions of people pray for peace!

Fancy a white knuckle ride? This roller coaster twists and turns around the perimeter of the New York New York.
Price is $12.50 but you can buy an all-in-one ticket costing about $40 which entitles you to unlimited rides, a burger type meal and tee shirt.
Open:
Monday-Thursday 11am-11pm
Friday-Saturday 10am-midnight
Sunday - 10am-11pm

In the background you can just see the Manhatton Express rollercoaster

We stayed at the NY NY for our first visit. We walked across the bridge this visit from the Excalibur and being a big Jelly Belly Jelly Bean fan I had to get this photo with the statue inside. Pays not to think about just how many fingers have touched the sugary treats.

I also went on the rollercoaster this visit as it was shut for renovations last time. It was quite costly and one of the roughest most jarring coasters I have been on. Had some good drops but my neck was not keen for a second run.

This somewhat older hotel puts all its high cards on the exterior - invoking the spirit of New York City, the exterior of the building mimics the buildings of New York with the highest tower the Empire State Building. Facing Las Vegas boulevard a miniature Brooklyn Bridge overlooking the wooden piers of the East Side River. A large replica of the Statue of Liberty dominates. One building offers the brick exterior of the lower east side complete with a painted advertisment. And the entire setting contains a wild twisting roller coaster model.

The interior is crowded and jumbled, just like New York, but also a little dark and dated. One worthwhile feature - the Statue of Liberty in jelly beans (image 5) at the entrance to the shopping area.
