| - After searching for good deals for weeks, the bf and I finally decided on NYNY due to the good reviews. We were not disappointed. =)
Parking was easy to find. However, they have drivers roll down their windows before entering into the parking lot due to the possibility of inspection. I didn't see any other hotel do this, so it was a bit of a puzzlement on what they were hoping to do by stopping cars, especially when it led to backup traffic.
Check-In was simple. We already had our rooms reserved, and we were able to get our Park Avenue room with a king-size bed and nonsmoking with no problems. We also booked the room for Mon-Thurs, so this might have had an affect on which rooms we had.
I loved the consistency of the theme of NYNY through every part of the hotel. When we visited the other hotels, I didn't see the consistency as much. Then again, a them of "New York" should be more easily updated than with other hotels...
Room: 5 stars! Clean clean clean clean clean. My bf and I absolutely loved our room. The a/c worked (o thank goodness), the sheets were clean clean (which meant I didn't even do as thorough of a UV light cleaning like I would normally do :p ), the furniture was stylish, and the entire floor was non-smoking. I had previous experiences in other hotels where they didn't segregate the non-smoking from the smoking rooms very well, and I, with my sensitive senses, could not stomach the smell. So, I was very happy with our room/floor. One of the negative things was the bathroom. You REALLY have to lift up your legs to get into the tub/shower. There were more than a few times where I nearly tripped and fell into the tub because I was trying to get into it...
By the way, the TV channels weren't that great. Best thing I found on TV was probably PBS.
No minifridge or microwave, but that's the same with the majority of the hotels on the strip. We anticipated this and brought our own ice chest and filled it up with the ice from the ice machines on the floor. It worked great. =)
Didn't do room service, so can't comment on that.
Walls were fairly thick, as we didn't hear our neighbors. Doors not as thick. Then again, drunk patrons are hard to ignore when they're loud in general.
Lots of different foods on the first floor. Hot dogs, deli sandwiches, ice cream, lots of drinks (it's Vegas), Italian restaurant, and American restaurant. Probably lots of others I'm missing.
This was the first time the bf and I went to Vegas together, with each of us not having been back in a decade. So, we were disappointed that the penny slots were not actually penny slots. All machines accept either cards or dollar bills, but no coins. So, we didn't really gamble much.
Go to the America Restaurant. We had the steak with crab legs dinner. IT WAS AWESOME. Steak cooked to the way we wanted it, the crab legs were huge, the baked potato was done right, and the appetizer of buffalo wings hit the spot. And, the steak/crab legs was only $15 per meal. It was seriously one of the best meals we've ever had.
One negative thing may be when we checked out and really saw all of the charges. We were expecting the taxes and resort fees and the resort fee taxes, but it still made our hearts sink to see that those fees and taxes by themselves was basically an additional 20 a night on top of the room cost. Still, it would have been the same in any hotel we stayed at on the strip. For our 3 night stay, bill came out to around 200 dollars...
Overall, very likely that we'll stay here again. Compared to other hotels/casinos on the strip, NYNY was ventilated very well, and the smoke smell didn't really cling onto you. Staff was courteous and helpful. And, the room was awesome and better than I thought it would be.
