New York New York Hotel

You may not recognize New York New York Casino and Hotel for what it is-the most upscale theme casino/hotel on the Strip. That's because the famous elements of New York City life are so flawlessly executed that you forget you're really on a Vegas getaway. The eye-catching skyline façade is just the start of what's inside as you sample the best of New York's culture while forgoing the crazy taxi drivers.

Restaurants

Just like in the Big Apple every restaurant and bar promises something unique. Stop into Nine Fine Irishman for a bite and a pint with its fun and funky take on Irish cuisine. Or dine al fresco (sort of-you're still inside) at II Fornaio for some delicious Italian cuisine while you indulge in the greatest of New York pastime-people watching. If your craving a sports fix try the glitzy ESPN Zone restaurant located just off the casino floor. Or wander through the cobblestone food courts' many sidewalk eateries for American classics like hot dogs, hoagies and the best pizza around.

Entertainment & Shows

Even if you do skip dinner but sure not to skip the show. Zumanity, New York's Cirque du Soleil production, is a hilariously raunchy exploration of sexuality. Hosted by the most beautiful drag queen on the Strip you're sure to laugh long and hard at the tongue in cheek humor while gaining a new appreciation for the art of pole dancing.

Casino

No matter which room you choose make sure it leaves you with money to try your luck at the tables. New York New York has a newly remodeled casino floor to offer the most games and the best player's experience.

Hotel

Nightlife

If you came to Vegas more for the nightlife than anything else you're sure to be pleased with New York's varied selection.
