New York-New York Hotel & Casino

Gaming Floor

New York-New York Hotel & Casino occupies the southeast corner of Tropicana Avenue and the Las Vegas Strip at 3790 Las Vegas Boulevard South, its skyline reproducing twelve scaled-down Manhattan skyscrapers including the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the Statue of Liberty. MGM Resorts operates this distinctive property, positioning it among the most recognizable Las Vegas Strip casinos for both tourists and locals. The casino floor spans approximately 84,000 square feet, housing 1,800 slot machines ranging from penny slots to high-limit progressive jackpots. Traditional reel slots share space with modern video poker machines, penny slots, and tournament-style gaming options that cater to every bankroll level.

The table games section features 65 live dealer tables covering essential casino staples including blackjack, craps, roulette, and baccarat, alongside a robust specialty games menu with Three Card Poker, Let It Ride, and Pai Gow variants. However, New York-New York does not operate a dedicated poker room, directing serious tournament players to sister properties like Aria or MGM Grand across the street. BetMGM Sportsbook operates a full-service location on the casino floor, complete with betting windows, self-service kiosks, and large-screen displays for live sporting events. Nevada residents and visitors can access the BetMGM mobile app for additional wagering convenience throughout the property.

The casino maintains 21+ age restrictions throughout all gaming areas, with security actively checking identification at multiple entry points. Gaming hours run 24/7, and MGM Rewards members accumulate tier credits and comp dollars that transfer seamlessly across the entire MGM portfolio, including Bellagio, Aria, and MGM Grand directly across Las Vegas Boulevard.

Hotel & Accommodations

The 2,024-room hotel distributes its inventory across twelve themed towers, each designed to evoke specific Manhattan neighborhoods and architectural styles. Room categories range from standard Strip-view accommodations to luxury suites with wraparound terraces overlooking the southern Las Vegas Strip corridor. Furthermore, the Manhattan aesthetic extends throughout guest room interiors, featuring contemporary furnishings with urban-inspired color schemes and artwork celebrating New York City landmarks. Premium suites include separate living areas, marble bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows that maximize natural light and city views.

In addition to standard hotel amenities, New York-New York provides guests with 24-hour room service, concierge assistance, and express check-in options through the MGM Resorts mobile app. The property’s central Strip location places guests within walking distance of major neighboring resorts including MGM Grand, Excalibur, and Luxor, while the McCarran International Airport connector makes arrival and departure logistics particularly convenient for out-of-state visitors.

Dining & Nightlife

Gallagher’s Steakhouse anchors the property’s fine dining program with classic American steakhouse fare, featuring prime cuts aged in-house and an extensive wine cellar. Il Fornaio delivers authentic Northern Italian cuisine in a warm, terracotta-finished dining room on the casino level, specializing in house-made pasta and wood-fired pizzas. Tom’s Urban provides the casual dining experience with American comfort food, craft beer selections, and sports bar atmosphere that appeals to both hotel guests and Strip visitors.

Quick-service options include Shake Shack for premium burgers and shakes, Gonzalez y Gonzalez for Mexican street food, and Times Square To Go for grab-and-go items, sandwiches, and coffee service. The 24-hour food court handles high-volume needs for the resort’s substantial guest count, offering everything from Asian cuisine to classic American fare at accessible price points.

Nightlife centers around Hakkasan, a multi-level nightclub and restaurant complex that ranks among the Strip’s premier entertainment destinations. The Bar at Times Square recreates the energy of Manhattan’s entertainment district with craft cocktails and live DJ entertainment, while Coyote Ugly brings its signature bartender performances and country music atmosphere to the casino floor level. These venues typically operate Thursday through Sunday with extended hours during major conventions and holiday weekends.

Amenities & Entertainment

The Big Apple Coaster serves as New York-New York’s signature attraction, featuring a steel roller coaster that loops around the exterior Manhattan skyline replica at speeds reaching 67 mph. The ride launches from a fourth-floor platform and provides unobstructed views of the southern Strip during its approximately three-minute duration. Meanwhile, the coaster operates daily with seasonal hour adjustments and height restrictions for rider safety.

The rooftop pool deck offers a resort-style swimming experience with cabana rentals, poolside beverage service, and panoramic Strip views. The fitness center operates 24/7 with modern cardio equipment, free weights, and dedicated stretching areas for hotel guests. Additionally, the property features a full-service spa offering massage therapy, facial treatments, and wellness packages designed to complement the Las Vegas entertainment experience.

The Hershey’s Chocolate World store occupies prominent retail space at the property’s base, drawing foot traffic from across the Strip corridor with its extensive candy selection and Hershey’s branded merchandise. Self-parking and valet parking services accommodate both hotel guests and casino visitors, with direct access to the gaming floor and hotel elevators from multiple garage levels.

Plan Your Visit

New York-New York Hotel & Casino’s southeast Strip location positions visitors within walking distance of MGM Grand, Excalibur, Luxor, and the entertainment options at Park MGM and T-Mobile Arena. The property sits approximately four miles from McCarran International Airport, making it particularly accessible for travelers arriving by air. Notably, the resort connects to neighboring properties via covered walkways and pedestrian bridges, allowing guests to explore multiple Nevada casinos without outdoor exposure to weather conditions.

Public transportation options include the Las Vegas Monorail with a station at MGM Grand, taxi and rideshare pickup areas on the Strip-facing side of the property, and tour bus loading zones for organized group visits. The resort’s central Strip position makes it an ideal base for exploring downtown Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon, and other regional attractions within a 30-minute drive.

Peak visitation periods coincide with major conventions, fight weekends, and holiday celebrations, when both hotel occupancy and casino activity reach maximum levels. As a result, advance reservations for dining, entertainment, and hotel accommodations are strongly recommended during these high-demand windows. The property’s combination of recognizable theming, diverse gaming options, and comprehensive amenities makes it particularly appealing to first-time Las Vegas visitors and groups seeking variety in a single resort location.
