We visited several casinos on our trip, and just because we were at one time from New York State, we decided to walk inside New York, New York Casino to see what was in there. Sure, there's a roller coaster on the front of the building that was probably fun for those who like it, and there was a Statue of Liberty and a New York Skyscape (prior to 9/11) at the street, but otherwise, it was just another casino. In fact, we found it to be the least exciting of all we went into. There were some very overpriced stores with New York-ish type names, and "New York-style" pretzels and pizza, but there wasn't anything that drew us in to stay longer than we did. In fact, I was a bit surprised that there wasn't a Broadway-type area or show center--if there was, we missed it. We've been to New York--this isn't it. If you are just trying to give tourists who have never been (or will never go) to New York an "idea" of what it's like, it's not happening here.
