After returning from Las Vegas, Nevada I’d like to say that New York, New York is an average hotel & quite simple. The room we stayed in was decent with a nice view and thankfully a very comfortable bed! If you can – try and stay in a room away from the elevator as it does tend to make noise and obviously has traffic. The staff was very accomodating here & the house keeping efficient. We spent most of our time exploring other hotels & pools. When I return to Vegas I plan on staying at the MGM, Casears, or Planet Hollywood.

We stayed at NYNY for 4 nights April 2007. Had a great time. Had a Broadway delux room which was large. It could have used another piece of furniture to set stuff on but that’s the only complaint we had. The staff was very professional and helpful. It was my husband’s birthday and I had a basket of goodies and balloons delivered to the room. I worked with the bell captain for this and they were helpful and friendly. We checked are baggage with them also the day we checked out b/c our flight was not leaving until midnight and we had no problems. The casino, entertainment and restaurants were all great. We would definately stay here again.

Dunno what all the ‘just average’ comments are about, because I’d stay at the NYNY again in a microsecond. We got the free room upgrade for reserving online. Room was perfect aside for a slightly clogged bathtub. There were already extra pillows in the room, and when we called down for more towels I was rather floored by the politeness of the staff, who actually go to the trouble of addressing their guests by name! The bed was easily the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve ever experienced, and for quite possibly the first time ever in a hotel, I slept straight through the night (though maybe that was the booze’s doing).

I love the atmosphere and decor of this place, the theming is really note-perfect. Frankly I’m one of those people who’d rather stay in one of those novelty-themed places than something opulent but generic. The Art Deco touches everywhere from the lobby to the elevator doors were fantastic.

Much as I’d like to sample all the different resorts in Vegas, I know here I won’t be disappointed and I definitely intend to pay a return visit.

Stayed here Sept. 06. The service was outstanding from the moment we left our car with the valet, to when we had to leave. We were upgraded to a broadway room, which were huge. Bathroom was your standard bath/shower. Room was very clean and the housekeeping was excellent. Typical thin walled vegas hotel rooms however, we could anyone in the halls that were having a conversation. restaraunts were excellent, $6.95 all you can eat pancakes at the american rest. $9.95 steak special. I have played at this casino several times in the past with no luck, but staying here made me appreciate the atmosphere much more. It is a fun, party atmosphere with music and laughter everywhere. My only complaint is the pool, which was an afterthought to the hotel. The sun does not even hit it until around 11:00am. We made the best of it by dropping towels on loungers, then going for breakfast. There is a way to the pool where you do not have to walk through the casino, by using the 3rd floor.

Stayed here for 3 nights in January 06. Had a great time at this hotel. Been to Vegas many times but first time in this hotel. It was not as glamorous as some of the other hotels but it had a great “fun” atmosphere. So many places to eat and snack. Food was good everywhere except Gallaghers where the steak was tender but absolutely tasteless and the waitress was a snob!!!! Always found room at the tables and slots,. Drink service in the casino was better than most. Room was small but very clean. Would definetly stay here again!

Stayed and played here in December 2004. I liked it. Crowd seemed hipper and younger than at Luxor. Room was fine. Not a great number of nice restaurants, but those that are there are good. Spa was nice, but not as nice as Luxor. I would stay here again. Pool sucks.

We went Oct. 2004, and I really enjoyed the hotel. We got a package deal type thing where we got a free upgraded room, 2 for 1 breakfast, and 2 free passes to the spa and roller coaster. The room was very nice (Park Ave. room). The bathroom wasn’t what they show online, which was a dissappointment. The pool is VERY boring. Overall, I really liked our room and hotel in general.

I loved staying at the New York, New York. They upgraded my room. Apparently there was a smaller one. I maybe spent a total of 8 hours in my hotel room over 4 days. That included sleep. When I did sleep it was perfect. No light in the room, no sound. It was sweet.

I would recommend this hotel to everybody. I ate at 3 restaurants and they were all very good.

I want to go back right now.

Stayed at NYNY last March and really enjoyed it. We flew in from Heathrow, so you can imagine how tired my husband and I were when we arrived. Used the check-in facility at the airport, which was nice. Got to the hotel – took ages to actually find our room. Until you get used to the place, it can be pretty confusing. We booked online using a promotion, and the only way you get the promotional vouchers is at the front desk – they don’t give them out at the airport! Had to trek back downstairs and get in line to get them – a bit of a pain. Room service was really good – I was dying for some decent Pastrami (doesn’t exist in the UK) and loved what I got. When your currency is the Pound, anything in dollars is great value! Rooms were cleaned regularly. We were right by the rollercoaster. You could hear it, but just barely. Plus, it ran from about 11 – 11, pretty reasonable by my standards and was actually pretty easy to sleep to. The beds were mega comfy – if I could have put that in my bag and brought it back to the UK I would have!

Didn’t really gamble much as we’re too chicken for tables. Played the slots a bit, met some interesting people, ate loads.

Would definately stay at NYNY again once I’ve experienced some more hotels.

Going back late August. Staying one week at Carriage House (1 br suite – it was free!) and five nights at the new & improved TI. Can’t wait.

Yes, the rooms are small, but elegantly appointed considering the price. Overall, I enjoyed staying at this hotel and rather enjoyed the unique decor. Not as garish and overwhleming/cutesy as other casinos. Unfortunately, when we checked in the clerk informed me that they had oversold the hotel and they hadn’t a room for us – we had front row seats at Mystere within an hour of our checking in. We had to beg and plead with the clerk to give us a ride to the Monte Carlo, which he did reluctantly, so we could throw our bags in the room and get to the show in time.

The rooms were small. The pool was tiny. It is a great theme hotel and I would stay again because there’s alot of action. Probably a good place durng the winter months. So you don’t have to look at the tiny pool. Food court was right in front of our elevators. Had a great time. Service was good.

We have stayed here twice. The last time last week. The beds are the greatest with the best matresses I have ever slept in. Of all of the slot clubs I joined I earned more points free at NY_NY. Also got a lot of freebies by gambling here, we usually make 2 trips a year and will defintely stay here again.

STAYED AT NYNY FROM 3/22-3/26. MARQUIS ROOM WAS GREAT. HUGE AND GOOD FOR ENTERTAINING. ROOM SERVICE WAS QUICK AND OK. MAID SERVICE WAS GOOD, ALTHOUGH THEY START KNOCKING AT LIKE 6AM ASKING IF YOU WANT TO ROOM MADE UP. NOT VERY REALISTIC FOR 2 GUYS IN THEIR 20’S WHO JUST WENT TO BED A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO. ROLLER COASTER IS AWESOME AND THE NOISE DOSENT REALLY BOTHER YOU IF YOU ARE IN YOUR ROOM. WE WERE ON THE 12TH FLOOR RIGHT NEAR THE ELEVATOR SO THERE WAS’NT REALLY A LONG WALK TO THE ROOM WHICH WAS GREAT. SLOTS WERE LOOSE THE ENITRE TRIP. FOOD AT THE HOTEL WAS GOOD. ALTHOUGH THAT STUFF THAT THEY CALL PIZZA DOWNSTARS LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED. DONT FOOL YOURSELF—ITS NOT REAL PIZZA. TOO MANY YUPPIES EATING WHAT THEY THINK IS PIZZA WITH A FORK AND A KNIFE. OTHER THEN THAT

My Husband and I have been to Vegas 3times and we have stay at The NyNy Hotel and we wouldn’t stay any other place,we never had any problem with the noise from the roller coaster, who is in the room when it in operation, The Hotel is off the street you don’t have to walk so far to get inside it is in a good location. I have no problems with the NyNy Hotel/Casino everytime we visit Vegas this is where we will stay. Our Last visit was September 23 til the 26th 2002 had a lovely time…

Husband and I had a free 2 night stay last year and thought the rooms were ok. The beds were actually the most comfortable beds I had ever slept on in a hotel. View was nothing special, but really didn’t spend much time looking out the window. Pool was horribly small and noisy (the roller coaster goes right over your heads). Overall, a nice place to stay.

The room was authentically New York in that it was small. It was clean and we had a nice view of the MGM Grand. WIth so many other great options down the street, I don’t know if I would come back to NYNY.

NY NY has the best VIP service around! I’ve been in most all the major hotels and have never had the quality of service. All the personnel were friendly and helpful and made you feel like a high roller even if you weren’t! I’d give the VIP services a 10+!!! Definitely sign up for their slot card and you’ll soon be receiving their generous offers in the mail!

I wanted to report on another great visit to the New York, New York Hotel and Casino. We’d been unable to make our annual treks to Vegas since the millennium celebration 1999, so this was a welcome respite.

Due to past play levels, the NYNY had sent us a very classy 1/2” thick booklet which was an invitation to attend their VIP New Year’s celebration. We took them up on the offer for a stay from 12/30/02 – 1/3/03. We also had a couple of friends who wanted to attend and had not stayed at NYNY before. Our slot host Keith King kindly made arrangements for their room to be comped as well. When our friends signed up for their Players’ Card they received nifty checkered painters’ hats.

Check in, our rooms, and all were just great. New Year’s Eve offered us a super party upstairs in the convention rooms where the NYNY had sectioned off four rooms each with a different “party” – music and decor for any taste, Rock n Roll, Big Band/Pop, Jazz and Disco – my favorite. Man were the lava lamps, fiber optic lights, black lights, bell bottoms, afro wigs, peace symbols and other decor outstanding in this room plus super music. A high energy band of four who worked their buns off!
Additionally, there was an open bar, two areas of great buffet food, and hats and party favors – all a part of the VIP tickets. We had fun wandering room to room and seeing all the guests decked out in their finest duds. The NYNY also included access to the parking garage roof for those in attendance where we watched the fireworks coming from the roof of the Monte Carlo next door. This was the neatest New Year’s party we’ve attended.

The NYNY also outdid itself by providing a large and plentiful gift basket for our room with food stuffs, and champagne. And upon our return to our rooms, both couples found a large gold wrapped box. It contained Romanian wine goblets and decanters as holiday gifts. Upon our departure, the NYNY had also comped a couple of incidental items charged to our rooms plus two meals.

We couldn’t stay at the NYNY without riding their super roller coaster. This is one tough ride and so much fun! (Not for the pansies in one’s group!) Some people complain about the roller coaster’s noise at NYNY. We have never found it problematic because it runs like 11am to 11pm. Respectable hours. It’s your own fault if you stay up past 1-2am and need to sleep past 11am and hear the laughter, screams or wheel noise of the coaster during normal waking hours.

The casino always attracts the younger set (21-35) but we have never found them rowdy or rude. In fact if your 40-60 and just don’t want to “feel old” the New York, New York is the place to be as you can fit right in – unless you want to walk around with only “white hairs”.

Slot play was good too! I didn’t have too much success on the dollar slots, but when we’d get a little ahead we’d parlay the “house winnings” into higher denomination machines (as is our custom) and we did great! My husband hit $4,000 on a $25.00 machine (2 pulls of $50.00 each) when he hit on the last pull, $3,000 on the $10.00 machine (again last pull) and $1500.00 on the $10.00 machine.

We always like to visit (and have stayed) the Imperial Palace. This trip didn’t afford us much playing time there, but we did cash in some points from our Players Card and earned a nifty t-shirt.

We also have learned to use the bookvegas.com service which for a few dollars more will purchase show tickets for you the day they go on sale assuring you good seats. Again, this was the wise thing to do as our show tickets for Wayne Newton and Blue Man Group were close and perfect. Wayne’s age has stolen his voice but as he’s an icon and high energy entertainer, his show is still a great one to see. Blue Man Group was so unusual -showing how universal communication without speaking really is. And there’s lots of audience participation and more humor than I expected. A good show.

We can’t visit Vegas without our regular trek to the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton. Quark’s Bar, the props and the simulator ride are always a hoot, plus the drinks from the Space Casino’s bar are the best in town. Plus the slots are so cool – spinning the reels by passing one’s hand through light beam.

Our final highlight was indoor skydiving at Flyaway Indoor Skydiving (702-731-4768 / www.FlyawayIndoorSjydiving.com). What a hoot! After about 30 minutes of lessons you enter a 200 mile an hour wind tunnel. We amateurs don’t go but 5-12’ off the ground, but you are flying! The coaches are super, enthusiastic and very, very good at what they do. They make it possible for folks like us who’ve never jumped out of an airplane or bungee jumped to have this great thrill. Highly recommended, but injuries are possible.

Stay at the NYNY and get acquainted with a slot host with your players card. Use it and you’ll return again and again.

but it wasn’t because of this joint.Treasure Island 4 me!!

The room wasn’t very creative and the bathrooms were cheap. They should liven things up a bit! For what we payed for, the room was crap! It looked like one of those hotels for cheap in the big city and if I wanted a better room then what i got then I could have gone to Luxor where their rooms are more creative and well worth what I payed!

Stayed in January and had a decent time. They mixed up and put us in the wrong room, and after they called me 3 times late the first night I complained and got upgraded to a suite for free. I liked the lay out of the casino and the bar at times square cannot be beat for free entertainment. Was not much of a gambler but what I did play, I lost, except once I hit for a wopping 25.00. It would be easy to get lost if your not paying attention or your drunk, but the casino is a nice size, I think its perfect size.

My Vegas trip was from 8-28 to 8-30. The New York New York hotel is great! We were worried because most of the reviews said that the service was bad and the people were rude. I didn’t find that true at all. I walked out of my room to go to breakfast and every time I passed a maid in the hallway (we passed about 5 of them) they all smiled and said good morning and asked how we were doing. I didn’t even hear the rollercoaster. We were in room 1204 in the New Yorker tower and we had a great view of the strip. The room was a little dark but we only went in the room to sleep. We had a quick checkout (we did electronic checkout through the tv). The rooms were a little far from the elevator but it wasn’t a big deal for us. We found our way just fine and never got lost. The bathroom was a little small but we hardly ever used it because we were hardly ever in our room. Overall, I think this is a great hotel and I would reccomend it to anyone! They also have a great itallian restaurant in there called IL Fornaio (something like that). The food was wonderful.

I came expecting a strip megaresort and got something worse than Days Inn. The bedspreads appeared dirty, they could not provide amenities like feather pillows, the noise level with the roller coaster was horrific. After 2 nights we moved to Paris for 10 times nicer rooms at a lower cost.

We stayed here the last time we were in Las Vegas. We had a great rate, which was good because the rooms were tiny (though very nicely appointed). Biggest complaint: LONG walk from the check-in desk to the hotel tower elevator. Check-in on a Tues morning took a long time, too. All in all, a decent place IF you get a good rate (less than $80/night mid-week).

I arrived home from staying at NYNY for my second time this year. Again a great place to stay if you can get a good rate. The rooms were clean, but small and dark. The casino was great even thought they were doing some remodeling, and the check-in was painless with no lines thanks to the NYNY invited guests line. I’m going back in 2 weeks, but I will not be staying here because they want $249/night and I can stay at Caesars for $89!

I just got back from staying at NY NY and I am overall satisfied with my visit. The rooms are a little on the dark side and the bathrooms are quite small. You will not find any pitch or shoe 21 games for under $25 everything else is CSM. The craps dealers were awesome and a blast to play with, especially when you through a $5 on Yo for the boys and it comes up, then your their favorite person in the world. Drink service was a step above par if your at the tables, otherwise it takes awhile if your on a slot. They’re a little lite on the alcohol content of the drinks here, walk across to the MGM for a good stiff drink. I’m not a big slot person but my cousin hit $500 and $1000 on the dollar wheel of fortunes in one afternoon. My only advice is ask for a room somewhat close to the elevators other wise you got a long and windy journey back to your room.

This is not a fancy hotel and makes no pretenses. We are a mature couple and found the rooms clean and comfortable. The plumbing worked perfectly. The bath was not cramped. The beds were fine. The room temp was easily adjusted and maintained. Our view from the 20th floor of the Century tower was not spectacular. We could see the Monte Carlo and the first hill of the roller coaster. The coaster was audible but not disturbing.

From the outside facade to the darkest recesses inside, the place becomes cheesier and cheesier until it no longer tries to pretend to be what it claims

For those interested in home carpentry, scotch tape and plastic molds, the inside of this place is a dream come true..
