New York-New York Hotel, Las Vegas
The New York-New York Hotel & Casino is a quintessential slice of the Big Apple transplanted directly onto the Las Vegas Strip. Opened in 1997, the resort was designed by Gaskin-Bezanski & Associates to replicate a condensed, 1940s-era Manhattan skyline. Its striking architecture features a collection of 12 interconnected skyscrapers, including a 47-story replica of the Empire State Building, all constructed at approximately one-third the scale of the real thing.
The hotel is instantly recognizable thanks to its massive 150-foot-tall Statue of Liberty replica and the pedestrian-friendly Brooklyn Bridge that serves as a grand entrance. Perhaps its most thrilling feature is the Big Apple Coaster, which winds through the property’s exterior, offering riders dizzying views of the Strip and a unique 180-degree “heartline” twist.
Inside, the resort leans into the theme with dining spots like the legendary Gallagher’s Steakhouse and various casual eateries that capture the city’s famous culinary spirit. The interior design cleverly mimics distinct New York neighborhoods, from the bustling energy of Times Square to the more intimate, classic feel of Greenwich Village.
Its location at the corner of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard puts you right in the middle of the action. You are within walking distance of other iconic resorts like the MGM Grand and the Excalibur. Whether you’re looking to catch a Cirque du Soleil show, enjoy the outdoor energy of “The Park” nearby, or simply soak in the neon-lit skyline, this hotel serves as a uniquely cinematic base for your Vegas adventure.
Expert reviews
“If you want peak United States, then this budget-friendly Vegas Strip favourite is your spot. Colourful pageantry, ersatz replicas of US landmarks aplenty, and the most American amenity possible: an on-site roller coaster. Give it the old razzle-dazzle without breaking the bank.”

nice place to stay with kids
theme was fun and exciting for the kids
The check in process was confusing and staff was not the most helpful. Forced to do self check in and we kept getting an error, we noticed everyone one was so you still had to wait for a staff member to help. self check was not self check!

Great place to stay but check prices of their bars first
Location . Plenty to do .
Expensive. €17.50 + tip for a pint of Guinness is absolutely extortionate .

I actually Felt like I was in NEW YORK!
The Hotel was located right smack in the beginning of all the strip. My Uber was able to drop me off at the entrance of the Casino. It was a little confusing because the entrance is through the Casino to get to the Lobby front desk of the Hotel. I also noticed that people are allowed to smoke in the Casino, but not in the Hotel. Besides the front desk clerks there was staff waiting by the Key machine to check you in and they made my check very easy and quick. Once I got my key card I headed to my room and it was a maze to get there but a nice scenic route. My room was clean and smelled good. Very big bathroom and comfortable beds. Great big Flatscreen TV, large room with a sit down area and a scenic view of their Roller Coaster. The a/c worked so well I had to raise the temperature because I was cold. You have a telephone in the room in case you need to get a hold of the front desk. Staff is usually in hall way which i needed to figure how to find my room, it’s big enough to get a bit turned around. I was glad to be able to get back to my safe, comfy and quiet room after having a day or night out in the heat of the day, tourist crowds, noisy traffic, Loud music and bright lights!
Well it was a bit of a maze to find the Front desk and get to my room but luckily it wasn’t a long distance. Also I was a bit disappointed that the Hotel Pool closes at 6 pm, I actually didn’t use it during my stay. I am more of a night owl myself. They actually gave you the option to use another Hotel’s pool (MGM) with your hotel key but it was a bit of a walk to get to it, I think that pool closed at 10 pm. I just felt too shy to go to another hotel to use their facilities. Take note that people can smoke at the Casinos which you have to enter to get to the Hotel.

But with all that, I had a wonderful time anyway thank you
Property was in a great location
Well, I wish I knew it was adjoining room because put it this way you can hear everything next-door and I wish I knew the room was facing a roller coaster because yeah it is up all night long till midnight. Yes and you will hear everything.

Great location with a perfect view of the strip but you will hear the rollercoaster.
Perfect location to be at the heart of the strip. not far from the airport.
Lovely room with a view of the strip itself
Air con is quite loud and you can hear the rollercoaster going till 11-12 at night

Great stay ! Good location and value for money
Great location ! Easy to access to and from the airport. Early check in through self kiosk was amazing . Room was a good size with lots of room to move around. Great food options and good sized gaming floor. Very easy access to MGM Grand and surrounding hotels within walking distance and Monorail.
No in room fridge and safe was unable to be reset to lock up valuables. Vending machine on my floor was switched off so unable to get any refreshing drinks during the night without going downstairs and paying more.
12 June 2026
Will consider staying again next time
I’m surprised that’s it’s well kept, clean and comfortable! Parking was easy. Near everything ! Staff are helpful.
$20 parking fee.
Very weak coffee from the shops on the main level.

Perfect location. Great price
Great location. A good size and easy to get around without getting lost like in some of the other casinos.

Enjoyed the trip, hotel provided good base for activities.
Room was very spacious, and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Lots of eating options across the hotel.
Pool area was not very impressive and was mostly closed.

Lovely hotel, amazing food & drinks 🍸
Nice spacious room, nice decor, amazing restaurants and bars, the food places and deals on drinks make.
The staff member that checked us in wasn’t very approachable. I understand it was around 11 PM and it was a late one but I felt rushed.
31 May 2026
Enjoyed - but we’re getting too old for it all.
The room was clean and had all that was necessary. We liked the security of the elevator.
We got lost several times and it took almost 45 minutes to find our way out to the street! Hilarious!

Overall, pleasant stay
The hotel is among the most beautiful ones, and having visited the others, I don’t regret choosing it.
The room decoration was very nice, and the room itself was comfortable.
The pool was very nice.
Overall, I was satisfied with my stay.
There were no explanations on how to use the lifts to reach the room, and we weren’t the only guests who had trouble understanding how they worked.
Very little staff were available to help.
I found the room a bit expensive for the level of equipment provided.
I was disappointed with the view: I had requested a nice one, but our room overlooked the roller coaster and the airport.
As in many hotels of this kind, everything was extremely overpriced.
28 May 2026
Would stay again
Rooms are clean, it’s a fun theme, easy location, gym was well equipped and clean, pool was clean.
Nothing really, small things were outdated and drab, but for the price and everything else it was worth it

It was great and convenient for my stay being it my first trip to Las Vegas!!! Definitely recommend it!!!
The rooms were clean. The location was fantastic in the Las Vegas strip. Went to a concert in the Allegiant Stadium using the monorail across the street was very convenient and strategically located. Everything is a good walking distance and 10 to 15 minutes from the airport.
The casino area the cigarette smell, the smoke was a bit too much for a closed area if you are a non smoker. To go to the rooms you have to go through the casino so that I would was the only thing that I didn’t like.
20 May 2026
Overpriced, but great nonetheless.
First hotel that I got in and out without talking to anyone and it worked perfectly. The room is huge, just got a disappointing view.
Overall is a great hotel. View from the room was an indoor building, which is always a frustration in Vegas. It is really tough to have to go through all the casino with your luggage to get to your room. They should improve their direction signs.

Dated and overcharged but staff made it right!
Location, AMAZING staff, variety of food options, accessibility
The smoke, being charged 3 times at the wrong rate while an extra hold was applied on top, original room type before upgrade incorrect
10 May 2026
Location was great! Room was nice and clean. Mattress (5/10) and parking are the only downfalls to NYNY Vegas.
Property was nice and in a great location! If you want to be right in the middle of the strip life, this is the hotel for you.
Parking was a bit of a hassle with getting into hotel and then packing luggage through casino and then finding the right elevators for your hotel tower.

Had a good time, too far from the activities we had planned, spent alot of money on taxis.
America Cafe was good. Broken toilet handle was fixed promptly. Food court area was decorated nicely. Room was a nice size
TV didn't work, had to call twice to get it fixed. Too far from the activities that we had planned. Prices are high. Center casino restrooms look awful, were clean though.

Great value for a hotel on the strip!
The room was clean and comfortable. We used the free bell hop service to have our bags brought up to our room; the bell hop was really friendly! The location is excellent as it's right on the strip. I used the self check in kiosk, and it was very easy and quick.
There was no fridge in the room.

Nice, clean and comfortable.
Nice place. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The check in and out was ridiculously easy. Loved that.
I wish the rooms had a coffee pot and a couple bottle of water.

Perfect for family with teens.
Fab family resort - foodhall, pool, rollercoaster. Great location for exploring Strip. Felt safe and easy going. The food seemed expensive but we were expecting it to be anyway.
No mini fridge in the room.
