New York-New York recreates the Manhattan skyline with a 1/3-scale Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, and Empire State Building framing an excellent roller coaster (The Big Apple Coaster) that loops around the exterior. Inside, the Greenwich Village food court and Times Square replica give the hotel genuine character, and the convenient location opposite the T-Mobile Arena is great for concert-goers.
New York-New York Hotel & Casino at 3790 Las Vegas Blvd S reproduces the Manhattan skyline in miniature — 12 replica skyscrapers including a 47-story Empire State Building, a one-third-scale Statue of Liberty, and a Brooklyn Bridge spanning the property entrance — creating one of the most recognizable facades on the southern Strip. Operated by MGM Resorts, the property opened in 1997 and sits at the intersection of Las Vegas Blvd and Tropicana Avenue, directly across from T-Mobile Arena and Park MGM. The Big Apple Coaster, a steel roller coaster that loops around the exterior of the building, rises 203 feet and reaches 67 mph, making it one of the most visible thrill rides in Nevada. The 2,024 rooms are distributed across multiple skyline tower sections in a Manhattan apartment aesthetic. The Greenwich Village and Little Italy food court recreates the streetscape of lower Manhattan with stall-front restaurants set behind brownstone facades — one of the most effectively themed food courts on the Strip. The New York-New York Bar & Grill spans a replica of the Manhattan Bridge with taxis embedded in the flooring. Nine total dining options span casual to mid-range; the property also hosts a Shake Shack — the first Las Vegas location of the New York original. The casino floor covers 84,000 square feet with a sports book well-suited for arena event nights at the adjacent T-Mobile Arena. The High Roller observation wheel at the LINQ Promenade is approximately a 10-minute walk north along the Strip.
