Vegas is an adult’s dream playground, filled with spectacular sites, images, and recreations of the world’s most famous landmarks. Located on the famous Las Vegas Strip at 3790 Las Vegas Boulevard South, the New York New York Hotel & Casino features one of the largest casinos owned by MGM Mirage.

The incredible New York New York Hotel, whose New York theme is so realistic that its architecture resembles the New York City skyline, boasts a half-scale Statue of Liberty, replicas of the Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central Terminal, and the Whitney Houston Museum of American Art, as well as a functioning roller coaster. The hotel’s main casino area is modeled after Central Park and the “Village Eateries” food court strikes a startling resemblance to New York’s own Greenwich Village.

Perhaps one of the most unique and amusing aspects of the hotel is “The Roller Coaster,” formerly known as the “Manhattan Express,” which winds its way through the hotel’s interior and exterior. The coaster cars have been painted to resemble traditional Checker Taxi Cabs, but at 203 feet tall with a maximum speed of 67 mph and a heart-pounding 144-foot drop, The Roller Coaster is anything but traditional.

The New York New York Hotel is also host to Cirque du Soleil’s famed Zumanity show, the only Cirque show to restrict admission to 18+. The Zumanity theatre was created to resemble an old-time cabaret, with bar stools and sofas liberally sprinkled throughout the theatre seating.

All this, starting at $89/night promises to inject some fun into your next business trip to Vegas, so if you’d like some East Coast flavor on your West Coast trip, book the New York New York Hotel.
