NewYork NewYork is a 2024 roomed hotel opposite the MGM grand and in between the Excalibur hotel and the Monte Carlo hotel. Its façade depicts the New York Manhattan Sky line with high rise buildings and right at the front there is a miniature replica of statue of Liberty. It is built right on a corner of a busy intersection. Along the strip side of the hotel there is a replica of the Brooklyn Bridge. It is a hub for people coming from the southern end of the strip from the hotels of Excalibur, Luxor and Mandalay bay and offers a means of crossing to the strip and onwards across a bridge to the MGM grand.

It cost $460 million to build and opened its doors to the public in 1997.

The Casino.

The casino floor is not one of the nicest I have seen or been in in Las Vegas. It appears to be in the basement of the hotel. The casino floor is surrounded by bars and restaurant outlets. Most of the eating places are based on Irish and Italian fare which is quite typical of the New York City scene. It appears to be quite dark and dismal and not the best casino in Las Vegas. Escalators take you down into the pit of the massive hall and bring you back up again.

Shows.

The main show at the NewYork NewYork is a Cirque du Soliel show called Zumanity along with other shows such as temptation and dancing queen not to forget the Broadway celebration. Most of the shows are quite risqué to say the least and would not be suitable for children.

The Roller coaster ride.
The main feature of the hotel is the Roller Coaster which is a fantastic ride not only does the ride take you outside the hotel but also runs inside the hotel too. The ride is 203 feet high and the biggest drop is 144 feet reaching speeds of 67 miles per hour. It is quite a thrill seeking ride and does a loop the loop supposedly simulating a jet fighters roll and then it continues into a twist just when you have caught your breath again which is totally unexpected. The cars are based on the yellow taxi cabs of New York. The ride is certainly a teeth gripping ride and at times the queues for the ride can be quite long and costs $14 a ride although for another $7 you can re ride the roller coaster although I never saw one person take the ride again! For $25 you can ride on the roller coaster all day long if you so wished.

Personally I would not wish to stay in this hotel but the rooms look quite nice from their own web site.

One of the other hotels we visited and spent some time in was the New York New York. From the outside you might actually think you are in New York until you see the roller coaster zoom by. Only in Vegas does a roller coaster zoom through the heights that are New York.

The architecture of the New York New York may have been my favorite. The detail and the variety of the hotel were amazing and exciting. We deiced with our little one that there had to be something for him in there. SO we took a look inside. The inside was just as great as the outside. We headed down a staircase and found our selves on Bleeker Street the street famous for the coffee Shop, Central Perk, from the show friends. The whole downstairs was set up with street names and restaurants and shops that might me commonly found in New York City. It was neat. Once again I felt like I was in New York. We ate at a little pizza place for lunch and then headed over to the Coney Island play park where my son and husband had a blast playing games and collecting tickets. This was a great way to spend the afternoon and accommodated everyone in the family.

Once again another Hotel I would like to check out more at a later date. I think this is a great hotel for families with kids of all ages and you can visit 2 major cities at one time (Vegas and New York)

Miracle Mile Mall-
One of the biggest malls I have seen in a long time. This 170 store mall sits right in front of Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino and right on the edge of the strip where you can access it easily.
Once inside the mall you will find everything from Gap, Victoria Secret to things like Swarovski, BeBe, and Aldo. There are plenty of stores for the whole family and for every budget. There are also plenty of restaurnts and a food court. If that is not enough you do have the rest of the strip to fufil your tastes.
The Miracle Mile Mall is not hard to find, You can walk up to it right off the street and find somehting to entertain you. For a moment you forget that you are even in Vegas. However once you walk out you are reminded of where you are.

The Manhattan Express roller coaster is cool, I love the arcade and collecting all the tickets, there are lots of crane machines (when they work), and having Haagen Daz to unwind after.

Out of all the casinos on the strip, I enjoyed this one. This seems like a kind of casino that offers enjoyment for the whole family.

This casino was nice, but it was not one of our favorites. We became big fans of penny slots, and there didn't seem to be too much to choose from here, so we were forced to be high-rollers and play nickel slots. Men In Black came up big for us ...Read more
