The monument, which sits outside the New York New York Hotel, is a copy of the original Statue of Liberty. The replica is 150 feet tall, including the pedestal, from the ground to the top of the torch. The end product was a 100-foot-tall monument on a 50-foot-tall pedestal; the overall height equates to one-half scale. The torch on the new statue has been replaced because it was made of copper and would have cost $500,000 to replace. The new torch is made of fiberglass and costs $200,000. The statue itself is not movable and can't be visited inside the hotel. However, an elevator takes visitors up to the observation deck for a view that includes downtown Las Vegas and Lake Mead beyond. Statue of Liberty tickets are sold online at the New York New York website. The price is $18 for adults, $16 for seniors (age 62+), $11 for children 3-12, and free for children 2 and under. A reservation is required for entry into the monument and tickets can only be used on specific days specified when you make your reservation. Tickets may also be purchased at the base of the statue during regular business hours (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) for $20 per person. There is no additional charge for infants in carriers or wheelchairs. The statue took four years to complete and was unveiled on July 4, 1986.
