Casinos rarely get more than 3 stars because they are casinos. Unless I"m staying in a room where I get the full experience, most casinos all offer the same thing on the floor.
Rolled in here on a Friday night with my friend because she wanted to gamble. I hadn't been inside NY NY for a few years. I think it got a little bit of a makeover because it looked cleaner and had some more neon signs. Stopped for a slice of pizza which wasn't good then off to the tables. Hit for a quick $300 then upstairs to Coyote Ugly for some dancing/fun. This place was packed, a few bachelorette parties and birthday parties. Happy hour as well, we got a shot of tequila, heineken, and a vodka cranberry for $15 which is decent for the strip. Plenty of hijinx with a future bride getting a stranger to take a shot from her cleavage, then getting motorboated!! Haha. Fun place but overcrowded with people bumping into each other as they tried to get around.
Overall NYNY seemed to be nicer than I remembered.
