Las Vegas’ New York-New York Hotel is a perfect example of east meets west.  With a fascinating façade of the New York Skyline, Vegas’ strip resort is full of all things that represent one of the greatest cities in the world.

The architecture includes a replica of the Empire State Building as well as the Chrysler Building.  Quite noticeable is the 150 foot tall reproduction of the Statue of Liberty as well as various monuments and museums from The Big Apple.  Grand Central Terminal and the Main Immigration Building located on Ellis Island are also represented in the façade.

Throughout the hotel are many landmarks that originally reside in NYC.  For example, the Brooklyn Bridge is set outside of the hotel and inside, there are various sections of the resort that are named after the city’s neighborhoods and attractions.   Take some time to browse the shops in Greenwich Village.

One of the main attractions of Vegas’ New York-New York hotel is its roller coaster.  It passes inside and outside of the resort with coaster cars that take after the original Checker Cabs of New York City.  The coaster reaches speeds of up to 67 miles per hour with its maximum drop totaling 144 feet.

New York-New York is home to the Cirque du Soleil production of Zumanity. It is important to note that the show is restricted to admission of those persons 18 and over. The resort also hosts headline acts such as Garth Brooks and provides scheduled entertainment at the Brooklyn Bridge.
