The closer you look, the more impressive it becomes,
from the light gleaming off the Chrysler Building to
the Fire Department boats spraying water around the
Statue of Liberty. The marvelous theme continues inside
with scaled-down recreations of Central Park, Times
Square and Greenwich Village.

The well-appointed, 84,000 sq. ft. casino includes over
80 gaming tables and more than 2,000 slot machines,
nestled in the ambience of New York landmarks such as
Greenwich Village and Times Square. There's a wide range
of slots including Wheel of Fortune, Megabucks, Jeopardy,
Jackpot Party, Blazing 7's Dollars, Reel 'em In, Empire
Slots, Elvis and more. In addition to the casino, there's
the Manhattan Express roller coaster, Coney Island Emporium
arcade, the popular Dueling Pianos show inside the bar
at Times Square and a Coyote Ugly nightclub on the mezzanine
level. Comedienne Rita Rudner is a mainstay in the hotel's
Cabaret Theatre, and the hotel has added Cirque du Soleil's
provocative and sensuous 'Zumanity,' an adults-only
show.
One of Las Vegas' most charming hotel-casinos is also
one of its best. You don't have to be Frank Sinatra
to sing the praises of New York-New York.
New York-New York is so rich with detail that it seems
a city in itself. A more faithful representation of
its namesake would be hard to imagine. With a facade
that approximates the New York skyline down to the Empire
State Building and a casino interior modeled on such
renowned Big Apple attractions as Times Square and Central
Park, visiting New York-New York is little short of
an experience. A truly thrilling roller coaster, the
Manhattan Express, tears around the front of the casino
at 67 mph. Anchoring the 298,664-square-foot hotel-casino,
the Big Apple Bar grooves nightly.
New York-New York hosts the Cirque du Soleil production
Zumanity, while Rita Rudner shines in the Cabaret Theatre
with her hilarious stand-up. Add fine restaurants, bars,
shops and the Coney Island amusement center and you,
too, will shake those little-town blues.
