New York-New York is one of the coolest hotels in Las Vegas. You may ask why? Not only is the hotel fashioned after the beautiful New York Skyline, with each tower of guest rooms a separate skyscraper but there is a giant Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge, welcoming all guests and visitors to this exciting hotel.
Once inside, the casino, centrally located in the lobby area, is set up in Central Park, with trees, lights with a New York attitude. Fine restaurants, bars and shops grace the perimeter of the park. You almost believe you are in New York City. With the hustle and bustle of guests and visitors, you might actually think you are in Manhattan. So many things seem authentic, from the Nathan's Hot Dog Stand (located upstairs) to the REAL New York Pizza (both Sicilian and round). You just won't believe your eyes. The city streets that are home to fine restaurants and shops and even a good New York Style Deli, are as close to the real thing as you get outside of Manhattan. Let's not forget the Broadway caliber shows appearing nightly at New York-New York. Imagine, the city that never sleeps inside the city where what happens here stays here.
