It has all the bells and whistles, slot machines and card tables. And like New York where you walk everywhere, you do have an interesting walk to the rooms. Full of twists and turns like an Agatha Christie novel, this is what is needed on the inside to get the effect of the skyline on the outside. No fancy-schmancy stuff, just a good solid room to hang out in.

The rooms are well appointed, spacious, and practical. All the years of walking through the casino, past the lobby, pass by Nine Fine Irishmen, I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. The Chrysler building, the Empire State building, the big Hershey sign from Times Square, they are all here, including my favorite, The Coney Island roller coaster.Īfter all the years of visiting Las Vegas this is actually our first stay at New York, New York. The engineers that take what seems to be unbounded imagination and bring it to life. Hats off to the architects and engineers, and once again, this is my true passion about Vegas. This is no easy feat when you think how do you build a hotel and make it look like a skyline.

On the outside, as I stated before the Statue of Liberty is there, the buildings are designed as the New York skyline. I walk through the casino of New York, New York, and I am amused by the kitchy-ness of the Time Square decor. You see, when you’re at either one of those hotels, walking from one to the other, the tram does not cross Tropicana Ave. You can catch a tram from Mandalay Bay to Excalibur, then you have to exit the tram, walk across the bridge to New York, New York and proceed to the Monte Carlo tram stop, or walk directly to Bellagio to enter from the front. And vice versa, once you’ve lost all your money at Bellagio and need to walk back home, because cab fare is out of the question now, to Mandalay Bay, you reverse the trip, and walk through New York, New York to the Excalibur stop. Or you can walk the strip along the outside and take pictures in front of the Statue of Liberty, but one way or another you’ve got to go through New York if you want to get to Europe or Asia. In many ways, the New York, New York Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas represents the true essence of New York: It stands as a gateway to a new world, it’s crowded, and full of Germans and French tourists. C’est bon!įor many years, New York, New York was the gateway to either Bellagio Hotel if you’re headed north, or Mandalay Bay for those who are southbound.
