Compared to the nicer hotels on the strip this one has earned itself 3 stars. But as far as getting what you pay for, NYNY isn't bad. The room and bathroom were clean and the beds were comfortable. There just isn't much extra floor space in the rooms (in rooms with two double beds), few tv channels, and static on some channels that were available.
The food options seem good although I didn't try any and there is a lot to do as far as slots and casino activities. The pool was small and there isn't much going on there. There is no coffee, fridge, or minibar in the rooms. For a cheap trip I would stay here again.
