| - NYNY has made a fan out of me. I was very skeptical of this hotel due to the type of clientele that some of the attractions entice. (Coyote Ugly, ESPN Zone, Arcade area on 2nd floor, Mediocre restaurants) but after a lot of research (on Yelp and other sites), we decided to give it a try.
Luckily due to the crappy economy, there are a LOT of hotels offering killer rates, especially for the Sunday - Thursday crowd. NYNY was offering free upgrades to the Spa Suite including a bunch of coupons for drinks, food, and BOGOs. Also, the Spa at NYNY was offering a deal: 2 50 minute treatments for $170 which is about $70 off of the regular price. ALSO, Zumanity tickets were 40% off. Signs pointed to stay at NYNY this trip and give them a shot.
Check in was a breeze. Arriving on Sunday is great. No crowd at all at the front desk. We got our keys, went to our elevator which was very close to the front desk, and went to our room.
We walked in and it was BIG! Huge picture windows overlooking the pool and 1st drop of the roller coaster, Big flat screen on the wall, Huge Kingsized bed with footside bench, Roomy bathroom with walk in shower and big shower head, and the coup de grace, the elegant Hot tub for 2 with all kinds of mirrors surrounding it. Lots of stuff in one room but there was still enough room to run around, do cartwheels, whatever you fancy. It really is a nice room with modern decor and a lot of space. Too much space almost. It seemed like a chore to walk all the way to the front to answer the door for the bellhop who brought our bags up, but I complain in sheer jest.
First order of business? Test that hot tub out! It had one of those cascading water spouts that pour into the tub. After about 10 minutes, I finally realized that it wasn't filling up and I had to close the drain. Duh. It took around 20 minutes to fill and we were ready to dive in. We actually took a shower first because we didn't want to soak in dirty water. Must be the Japanese in us. Once in, it was nice. 2 little seats to enjoy the jets. Very very very nice way to start our vacation. Also, you would think that it would get a little musty in the room that has a hot tub in it, but the venting system was very good and it didn't stink at all. Good job to the engineer for that job!
We decided to get a drink at Pour 24 because they boasted a large beer tap inventory. 24 I presumed. We sat at the bar and got 16 oz pours of Moosedrool Brown Ale and Abita Purple Haze. Both were very good beers. We also had the Rogue Stout and the Blue Moon Honey Wheat. All were good and will be reviewed more deeply in Pour 24's dedicated Yelp. :)
After getting a good buzz, we decided to go pick up our tickets for Zumanity at Will Call and also make reservations for dinner at Gallagher's. We didn't want to walk outside the hotel for the night and Gallagher's was the best option for this hotel. Both Gallagher's and Zumanity will be reviewed separately as well. Good for both though.
Next day was our Spa treatments in the morning. Great experience. Review to follow as well. Same goes for the pool. Not huge but a great atmosphere. Perfectly crowded on a Monday afternoon.
After a great dinner at L'Atelier at MGM (highly recommended) we came back to some leisurely gambling at NYNY. They have a good assortment of everything for every budget. I stayed in the high roller area just to kill time (yeah right) We headed up to the arcade area to check it out. Wow, still a bunch of loud and obnoxious teenagers running around at 11pm. Bleh. Decided to grab a slice of NY pizza and Nathan's hot dog and head up to the room for the night. Both were delish BTW.
Check out was a breeze. BTW, everything is payable via room card so you don't need to carry around your wallet except for gambling and such. Great system. No employees acting skeptical as to how to charge the room or anything. Very professional. I didn't meet one employee that I didn't like.
Like I stated above, NYNY has changed my mind about staying here. I still wouldn't come here if I wasn't staying here, but I would definitely come here to stay. Spa Suite or better only according to the other reviews.
