New York-New York 

New York-New York hotel Vegas is located at 3790 Las Vegas Boulevard South and is one of the largest casinos owned by MGM Mirage. New York-New York uses the New York City theme of its name in many ways. Its architecture creates an impression of the New York City skyline; the hotel includes several towers configured to resemble New York City skyscrapers, such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building.

In front of the property is a pool representing New York Harbor, with a 150 ft (46 m) tall (half-scale) replica of the Statue of Liberty, a roller coaster, and replicas of the Brooklyn Bridge, Soldiers and Sailors Monument, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and Grand Central Terminal, among other well-known structures.

Within the resort, particular gambling areas, bars, eating areas and meeting rooms are named after New York City neighborhoods or landmarks. The main casino area, for example, is named after Central Park, while the "Village Eateries" food court is modeled after New York City's Greenwich Village, even including real menus from New York Chinese takeout restaurants taped to the doors of the mock apartment buildings. New York-New York uses the trademarked slogan "The Greatest City in Las Vegas".

History

The property opened on January 3, 1997. The project, which was first announced in 1994, was a joint venture of MGM Grand Inc. and Primadonna Resorts.

The Roller Coaster at New York-New York, formerly known as Manhattan Express, travels through the property's interior and exterior, and has cars painted to resemble a traditional Checker Cab; the coaster is 203 ft (62 m) tall, has a maximum drop of 144 ft (44 m), and reaches speeds up to 67 mph (108 km/h). The ride has recently undergone a variety of enhancements including the introduction of a magnetic braking system and new trains from Premier Rides.

New York-New York is also home to Zumanity, the third show from Cirque du Soleil to take up permanent residence in Las Vegas and the first to be directed primarily toward adult audiences. It is the only permanent Cirque show to restrict admission to those over 18 years of age. The theatre is arranged as a cabaret, with sofas and bar stools complementing the standard theatre seats. The Master of Ceremonies for the show is Joey Arias, a drag queen hailing from New York City.

"I stayed at NY NY for two nights. I requested a king room, and all they had was a smoking room, but I did receive a room upgrade:-) The room was decent. The bed was comfortable. The decorations were interesting, and overall it seemed quiet. Room service was speedy when I ordered, (they overcharged me, and as a token of their regret, gave me two free desserts). But the Casino! Its really cool, and kitchy, but its way to busy. The layout is broken and confusing."

"My husband and I stayed at New York New York Hotel & Casino this weekend. Although our expectations were high we were disappointed in our stay. Check-in was pleasant (but so was the Holiday Inn) and the room was nice. We found that the casino felt very stressful and cramped. All of the dealers we encountered were very abrupt and cold, some were just plain rude. The result was that we gambled elsewhere. The drinks at Nine Fine Irishmen were overpriced. We did enjoy Il Fornaio, The food was excellent but again the service was just o.k.
I guess to some it all up, unless we were in our room we found nothing about the resort relaxing. Which surprised us because of the great reviews which it has gotten."
