New York-New York Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas

What are the highlights of the New York-New York Hotel & Casino?

The New York-New York Casino & Hotel was famously known for hosting Cirque du Soleil cabaret performances. You can also enjoy other performers, including DJs, comedians, and magicians to name a few.

The Big Apple Coaster will have you flying in and out of the property grounds at speeds of up to 67 mph. This rollercoaster is arguably Las Vegas' fastest casino tour, giving you a smooth ride and adrenaline rush.

Within the hotel, you have a selection of nearly a dozen clubs and bars. Standouts include Center Bar (on the casino floor), Nine Fine Irishmen, and a piano bar called Bar at Times Square. On weekends, revelers pack Coyote Ugly’s dancefloor while DJs spin the latest tunes until late. Food-wise, Shake Shack, Toms Urban, Gallagher’s Steakhouse, and 13 other restaurants will surely suit your needs.

A brief history of New York-New York Hotel & Casino

The New York-New York Hotel & Casino is the brainchild of former White House staffer, Sig Rogich. Construction plans were put into action in the mid-1990s, and at a cost of over $450 million, the doors opened to the public in January 1997.

The hotel has also gone through multiple renovations since its opening. The Big Apple Coaster has smoother rails and magnetic braking, while the casino floor went through a massive expansion in 2013. The hotel rooms and restaurants are regularly updated, too. In 1999, MGM took full control of the hotel, making it one of the country’s largest casino management groups.
