In preparation for a Vegas list I am putting together for future reference, I am back tracking on this review from a few years ago when I saw U2 and spent a few days in Vegas. Never stayed at the hotel, however, love browsing and spending time here 'cause my kid at heart is at play. I haven't done much time in NY, therefore, cannot comment if this properly emulates the feel of the city, however, for what it is I had fun. If you're one of those people whom can't stand children, I would stay away from this hotel. There is a fun arcade in the hotel. I have yet to do the roller coaster. The souvenirs are cheesy "I love New York" souvenirs, however, more in it or the laugh than actual retail therapy. Not a lot of interaction with the staff personally but they looked all happy serving people at the front desk.
