| - The "New York, New York" hotel and casino in Vegas is very much a microcosm of Las Vegas itself. You can find all kinds of examples of humanity within. Bros, bro hoes, preppy types, hipsters, wanna be's, classy people...you name it - you can find it there. Its a smaller version of the "barely organized chaos" that exists outside on Vegas' strip. Because of the way its laid out with the casinos, the shops, all the eateries and that various "neighborhoods", Ny Ny can best be described as cacophonous.
But nestled within this little den of chaos is a relative haven of tranquility and mellowness known as Nine Fine Irishmen. For those of you who don't know (and really... what are there.. like 4 of you out there still left?), it models itself as an Irish Pub right out of Dublin. The wife and I have been here twice in our wanderings; most recently for lunch and a pint of ale.
Without a doubt, this is a great place to rest, relax and recharge yourself with a pint of ale or perhaps a shot of whiskey and grab a bite to eat. My fave drink here is a "Black Velvet", a lovely concoction of Stout and Cider that is the perfect parity tween sweet and strong.
The food is excellent too. Highly recommended is the Fish n Chips. The fish, never frozen, is delicious and served traditionally in a paper "funnel" along with the thick chips. Also of note is their corn beef sandwich - which included generous portions of meat. They also have traditional Anglo fare, like Shepherd's Pie and Bangers and Mash.
One of the nicest things about this place is when you walk in - all the sounds and chaos of the casino and goings on outside become dull and muted causing your cares to drift away. Of course, having a pint or two doesn't hurt either!. Its a very relaxing, mellow atmosphere. Except after 10pm, that is. Then it becomes a raucous and happening nightclub.
The place is a *tad* pricey - but only just a tad. There are far more expensive places to eat and drink - but really, the quality of everything is worth it!
The employees..bartenders...waitresses...everyone, are very friendly and knowledgeable. Our waitress, Tracy I think her name was, even knew what a "Snug" was in regards to pubs - and pointed out that they had three of them! Woot!
Simply put, Nine Fine Irishmen is the perfect spot at the perfect place in Vegas. An oasis of solemnity in the middle of a vast ocean of glorious chaos. A must-visit kind of place when you want to settle down with a drink and recharge your inner-battery after strolling up and down the strip.
