New York-New York Hotel & Casino

The New York New York hotel in vegas a overall a bad experience. I got sick at one of their resturants, I could hear the elevator making terrible noises from my room, and the worst part about the stay was, they were doing construction inside the casino so you couldn't hear the slots or anything else over the noise of the jackhammers and saws.

Seedy, dark and dingy, rather noisy, cramped; all it needed was steam coming out of the sewers, and a street crazy yelling at a fire hydrant, and it would have matched Manhatten perfectly. Room was not particularly clean ( melted wax from previous occupants' candles still on bedside tables and furniture). TV did not work properly and no-one came to fix it during a two day stay. Noise level was completely unacceptable; the water pipes in the walls sounded off like jet engines; the AC resembled a German U-boat, and loud drunks roamed the room corridors at all hours hollering at each other. Definitely would not go there again or recommend it. A little too much like the real thing...

The New York New York hotel is a fun hotel. The rooms were okay, but we had to be moved because our air conditioner wasn't working. When they moved us we ended up in a room that smelled like stinky shoes. We told housekeeping, but I figure there wasn't much they could do. I think the smell was in the carpet. Also, when we got moved we ended up closer to the rollercoaster, which we were told closed around midnight & started up again around 11:00 a.m. We were usually pretty tired at night and didn't get back to our room until late, but we did try to nap during the day and it was a little difficult. In the mornings they started running practice runs around 9:00 a.m The atmosphere in the hotel was pretty good. I think if the room had smelled better, we might not have had such a problem with the hotel. The area where this hotel is located is very crowded at night. We did not like that at all. We made our way farther up the strip towards some of the older hotels and the area was much cleaner & had less people. When ever we come to Vegas again we will stay in the older area or in the downtown area. There is only one pool at this hotel and it is in the shade until around 12:30 - 1:00pm. It also closes at 7:00 pm which isn't to much fun for the kids.

We were a party of 6 celebrating the wedding of our friends, Fred & Janice, on Friday, August 8, 2008 and flew to Las Vegas on the morning of August 9, 2008. We were also very dissappointed by the price of the food and drinks at the hotel. Very expensive for the quality of food. Double well drinks ran up to $17.00 each. That is a little ridiculous!

New York New York was our choice for our last night in Las Vegas, after 5 days at a different casino and a side trip to the Grand Canyon. Check in was fine, but the room smelled like smoke, had a broken toilet with urine in it, and a broken air conditioner. The carpet had signs of not being vacumed, a kachup packet and 2 quarters. Our options for changing rooms involved waiting again for the bell hop, which took 35 minutes, and then making the change, and all they offered us as compensation was 2 free drinks, and a free upgrade. Neither compensation was worth much to us since we were only there for one night and our plane was to leave at 5 am. In addition, it took too much of our time to negotiate everything. We were sent another one night free upgrade, but we won't be going back.

Our checkin & checkout experience was absolutely awful. The front desk staff during this time perioed were very rude, uninformative, and made our hotel experience very dissapointing. We thought we would be treated better. The only positive thing was that we did get a room upgrade to a strip view because I mentioned to the clerk we were celebrating our 25th anniversay. The room decor was inviting and bland and sparse. We were in rm #1904. Anway, we will definitely NOT stay @ this hotel ever again..

I have stayed at several other hotels on the strip, most of which being 4-star hotels like the NY NY. I definitelly not recommend this hotel over any of the others. The room was nothing special and there were several things that made the stay very uncomfortable and inconvenient. First of all, the internet in my did not work, and though I had already paid for day of internet, the personnel at the front desk made it an excruciating task to get refunded the charge. There was also construction going on in the casino which included jack-hammering. Also, twice during the stay in the early morning, a very loud alarm went off for about 30-45 minutes at a time. There was a recording along with the alarm that said we would be given instructions after the cause of the alarm was determined, but we never received any. I would think a 4-star hotel such as NY NY would offer their guests a discount or some sort of compensation in this situation but it seems they are not willing to give up any profits.

Too small, too old and at the wrong end of the strip. Would not stay here again. very disappointed

they replaced the central park with more slot machines. not recommended for families with kids below 13 years old.

NEW YORK NEW YORK HOTEL WAS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. I SHOULD OF BEEN TIPPED OFF WHILE CHECKING IN. MOST OF THE HOTEL STAFF, CASINO STAFF, UNFRIENDLY, AND ALL IN ALL MAKE YOU FEEL UNWELCOMED, LIKE THEIR DOING YOU A FAVOR BY LETTING YOU STAY THERE. THE RESTURANTS (ESPN & IRISH PLACE) WERE GREAT, GOOD FOOD AND SERVICE. THE ROOM WAS NOTHING SPECIAL, SMALL, BEDS NOT COMFY. CLEAN, HOUSEKEEPING WAS GOOD. BOTTOMLINE: THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS TO STAY IN VEGAS, DON'T MAKE NEW YORK NEW YORK ONE OF THEM. SURE ITS NICE TO DO A WALK THRU BUT I WOULD NOT STAY THERE.
