Stayed here for 11 nights at the start of July. Had mixed feelings about staying here due to the reviews, but we needn't have been worried.

Check-in was fast at 4.30pm on a Sunday, and we get upgraded tp a Broadway Deluxe room, at no extra cost. We also got offered a strip view room for an extra $100, but declined, we were more than happy to get the upgrade.

The room was huge and very clean, had everything you could want. The only negative I would say is that the bathroom is a bit on the small side. Providing only one of you is in there it isn't a problem.

The only small problem we had was that there was no towels at all in the room when we arrived, I called down to housekeeping and within 30 mins there was a knock at the door and plenty of towels.

Our room was on the 8th floor and I was worried about the noise from the rollercoater, but apart from the odd scream from those who were riding it, it never bothered us. The room was about a 2 min walk from the lifts and we never had to wait long for one to arrive.

We tried the America restaurant and also the mexican Gonzalez Y Gonzalez. America was ok, the service was a little slow. Gonzalez was fantastic, the service was quick and the food delicious.

Had drinks at the Big Apple bar most evenings and also tried Nine Fine Irishmen for drinks, both were nice and service was quite quick.

We had a bit of luck on the slot machines, there was plenty of them.

All in all we had a really great time at NY NY, location was great next to Monte Carlo, Excaliber, Luxor and MGM and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to family and friends. Will hopefully stay here again when we return.

My wife and I traveled to Las Vegas July 12-15 for a wedding outside of Las Vegas. When arriving at the hotel, the check in was slow, but we recieved the room we requested. It was nice, modern, clean, and comfortable. I ate at Gonzales y Gonzales for dinner the first night at the bachelor party, which was very good and reasonably priced. We then went to the Bar at Times Square, a dueling piano bar that got great reviews. I personally thought it was overrated and the drinks were pricey. Although everything in Las Vegas was pricey. The gamvling was fun. A won about $40 playing blackjack and then proceeded to loose it all at Excalibur.

The second day was a pool day after having breakfast at Paris (great buffet). The pool was crowded by 11am with almost no sun. The buildings blocked the pool until 12-1pm. With that said we really enjoyed ourselves. It was hot, so we sat in the water the entire time. After the pool, we went upstairs changed for dinner and came back down to gamble at NYNY before leaving for dinner. My wife won $30 at back jack and she decided to walk away. We hopped in a cab and went over to the Rio Hotel for dinner at Buzio's. Great food and a nice atmosphere. After dinner we went back to the hotel, changed and walked to the Bellagio to see the fountains. That was a ton of fun, but it was too hot to walk. We gambled at the Bellagio and won $35 at Blackjack. Again, it was a ton of fun.

Saturday was the wedding day, so we were gone all day, did nothing at the hotel. Paris brunch and the Venetian in the morning.

Sunday we left for the airport. Our cab driver dropped us off at Baggage Claim, but we didn't know because we were first timers. Walked to Ticketing, Checked in, and thats when the terror began. The security line was soooo long. Over an hour. We almost missed out flight. Made it by minutes...

DO NOT STAY HERE...A friend and I booked our stay at NYNY through Orbitz. When we finally arrived at the hotel following a delayed flight, we were told there was no record of our reservation. "JOSHUA" was the person checking us in. When I showed him my itinerary from Orbitz, he said, "It says you just booked this yesterday" (He was reading the date it was printed out). And he also said, "How do I know this is the real thing?". He basically accused me of faking my orbitz printout. OK. So when I asked him where did the reservation go, its all pre-paid, he got very upset and began yelling. The other check-in clerks stopped what they were doing to watch but didn't offer any help. He yelled at us, "If you are going to be difficult I'll take this room away from you, I don't HAVE to help you", snatching back the "temporary" room receipt out of my hands. After being promised that the room would not be charged on my account until this mess was sorted out, it did of course did in fact show up on my final bill. Turns out that New York New York hotel wrote my last name wrong, and thats why they couldn't find my reservation. It wasn't even Orbitz's fault, it was theirs. When we spoke to a manager in the morning, she offered us $50 comp. I will never go back to this hotel again. I am going to Vegas for my honeymoon in October and will be staying at the Bellagio. The room was tiny and dirty. Housekeeping late every morning. Shower drain backed up, and the shower in general was bad. I will never go back to NY NY. Service was horrendous, slots were tight, dealers were rude. And Joshua was the worst.

Spent eight nights here and had a lovely time staff were helpful, the rooms were out of this world and the amenities astounding. We got married at the little white chapel and the hotel went out their way to give us champagne and make the day special. The dualing pianists are excellent go early it is always busy. The entertainment in the big apple is also of the highest standard and their is food for all pallets. Give the hair salon a miss though.

Excellent hotel for people of all ages
