Start spreading the news, there is hotel in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip that will make you feel as though you have been transported to the Big Apple. New York-New York is the hotel, and choosing to book a room there, means opting for a location right in the middle of all the Vegas excitement. The resort really is impossible to miss, especially with a half-size version of the Statue of Liberty dominating the skyline. A smaller version of the Brooklyn Bridge also sits right out front. On the inside, you can get a little taste of Times Square, Chinatown, Little Italy, and even the fun and games of Coney Island.
The front of the resort looks like a smaller sized version of the Manhattan skyline, with a number of iconic skyscrapers represented at about one-third of their real size. They are more than just for show though, as that is where the more than 2,000 rooms and suites are housed.
Imagine how much fun it would be to spend your Vegas vacation in the Chrysler Building or even the Empire State Building.
The entertainment aspect of New York is carried over into the hotel. There is a little slice of Broadway to be found in the theatrical extravaganza that is Cirque du Soleil’s “Zumanity.” Where the other productions put forth by Cirque du Soleil tend to have a unique circus appeal, this is definitely one that is made more for adults ready to leave their inhibitions at the door for a couple of hours.
The nightlife is as exciting as you would expect in the city that never sleeps. For a combination of music, drinking, and a Hollywood movie experience, you need to see the dancing girls on the bar at Coyote Ugly. Each of the elements that make up the Nine Fine Irishmen authentic Irish pub have been brought over from the Emerald Isle. A pint of Guinness and some great pub fare are what you get at this fantastic watering hole.
There are plenty of other eating and drinking options at New York New York Hotel in Las Vegas. The Sporting House Bar & Grill puts you in the heart of the sporting action, with massive HD TV’s at every turn.
You’ll never miss any of the action of the big game when you hit that spot. The Bar at Times Square is a fun place to spend an evening, especially when the dueling pianos get started.
There are some amazing places to get your culinary wishes brought to life. Gallagher’s Steakhouse is home to some of the finest cuts of meat on the Vegas Strip. Gonzalez y Gonzalez, like Gallagher’s, has been an institution in New York for many years, and now serves Mexican themed dishes to patrons in the Nevada desert.
Great Chinese food can be found at Chin Chin Café, or you can opt to go a little more casual with your dining choices by eating at the likes of Café America, which is open around the clock, or at the iconic Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs.
New York has always been known as a pedestrian-friendly place, and the hotel has gone all out to match that. You will find an outdoor plaza, as well as spots on the Brooklyn Bridge that have been designated as performance areas for live bands. Nine Fine Irishmen and Starbucks have patios located on Las Vegas Boulevard, and some of the bigger shops in the hotel also have entrances that can be accessed from the Strip, as well as from the inside of the resort.
Those of you who have a sweet tooth will love Hershey’s Chocolate World. It’s an interactive location with a colossal Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar up front, as well as an equally huge Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Visitors to the attraction can stop by for a photo opportunity, and they can also purchase personalized sweet treats.
There is plenty of family fun to be found at New York-New York. You can head to the Coney Island themed part of the hotel, where you will find carnival style games and attractions, as well as the thrilling Big Apple Coaster that starts inside the hotel before dipping and diving between the skyscrapers outside.
The hotel is home to numerous top-class amenities, including a fitness center and a beautiful pool that features private cabanas. The Spa at New York-New York is a great place to get a little bit of much needed pampering that includes some rather unique treatments like the Environmental Escape and the Traffic Stopper.
Las Vegas and New York may be thousands of miles apart on the map, but the New York-New York resort will make you feel as though the two great cities have decided to meet in the middle.
