| - My Brother decided to get married by Elvis, so I had to make my first trip to Vegas. My Girlfriend wanted to check out NYNY, so picking the hotel was easy.
Along with being one of the newer hotel/casinos in town, it is also really unique from the outside. Inside it gets a bit crazy. I quickly caught onto the fact that the designers of these casinos want you to get lost, quickly, and pass a lot of chances to drop some dough while you are finding your way to your elevator. While we are on the subject of elevators.... With the striking 'skyline' appearance from the outside, NYNY is actually made up of several different "towers", which means that each one has it's own set of elevators. The first couple times through the lobby it can be a tricky making it to your specific elevator.
The interior was pretty cool. It might not be what you think of when you think NY, but it had a neat street feel to it.
Our room was about average, no disappointments, but nothing outstanding either. I was pleased overall though.
One thing that really wowed me though was the wide variety of restaurants available. There are really too many choices to list, but I ate at Il Fornaio Panetteria and Nine Fine Irishmen twice each.... the Panetteria for breakfast and Nine Fine once for lunch and once for dinner. All of the meals were good, especially the ones at Nine Fine. The restaurants were the highlight of our stay there.
The pool was a bit of a disappointment. I think it was more of an afterthought for the designers.
Next time a trip to Vegas comes up, I would be happy to go back to NYNY. Recommend!!
