text: I was travelling with a friend who was visiting Vegas for the first time As we were roommates in the real NYC for many years I thought it would be funny to stay at NYNY in Las Vegas I have not been to Vegas in over years so I was curious if it had changed much and curious how exponentially more expensive Vegas is now than in the many times I had been there over the past yearsnnWe arrived on a Thursday to check in around pm Despite traffic on the strip being a gridlocked parking lot the NYNY was not crowded at all There were only two people in front of us in the check in line and very soon we were in our room on the st floor The room was a looooooong walk from the elevator but I did not request a room closer to the elevator so I cannot really bitch about it We faced the Orleans and Monte Carlo and had nice views of the sunset And despite being close to the roller coaster I did not hear it at all as many online reviews had warnednnAs far as large resorts on the strip go NYNY is probably the smallest which is a good thing for me I am partially disabled so walking at length can be painful The casino restaurants gift shop and exits were not a ridiculously long walk unlike other places MGM Luxor Venetian I did not gamble for long at all but the cocktail waitress swooped down on me like a hawk getting me a drink in a New York minute Lots of new machines in the past few years The Hangover Sex and The City and Pawn Stars to name a few I am waiting for HoneyBooBoo slots nnThe only restaurant we ate at was the America restaurant which had very good food and excellent service And the prices though high were not ridiculous for the strip Cocktails were strong as an ox and were a better deal than the food There was NYC favorites like Ben Jerrys and Nathans plus higher end options like Gallaghers and Il Fornaio I wish they had a Blimpie like I used to get in NYC all the time Blimpie is far superior to Subway sandwichesnnThe rooms were the smallest Vegas rooms I would stayed in but not exactly tiny either The beds and sitting chairs were very comfortable My only complaint was the bathtub which drained slowly and had the highest stepin I have ever seen You almost need a foot stool to get in the tub The resort fee was extortionary but every Vegas hotel has this now not the NYNYs fault At least the wifi was the fastest hotel wifi I had ever used Even faster than my broadband at home Maid service was good and did not steal anything always a plusnnIn summary I enjoyed my stay at NYNY and would definitely stay here again
