I stayed there years ago and I like that they remodeled the rooms. It is one of the last themed hotels, but I think they did/do I good job with the theme. My favorite part would be the restaurant areas that make you feel like you are on the streets of New York. Also, the Park is good for people watching 😂

[@Jaycation]

yeah the food area is very unique!

[@newyorkerinvegas]

As a New Yorker, I love NYNY! I've said many time that it feels like when I was on Sesame Street as a kid. AKA a set. It's cute and as affordable as Vegas get without sacrificing cleanliness or amenities. Love Sirricos. Il Fornaio used to be one of my faves. The sports book needs a major overhaul for sure. I've stayed here twice over the last 2 decades and I'm happy to see the renovated rooms. Great review!

[@Jaycation]

yeah they need a yankee stadium looking sportsbook haha

Thank you for the video. We have been to Vegas many times but this will be our 1st at NYNY.. We are so excited!

[@Lisalisa-210]

This coming October will be our 3rd time staying at NYNY; we just love the location! 1st time since Reno. There is a refrigerator 😮. The bands outside, and the ability to just sit and people watch.

[@rockygraziano2339]

@@Lisalisa-210 I’ll be there Oct. 9 thru the 12th. With my brother. It’s my 5 th time at NYNY. He’s turning 79 on the 12th and handicapped. Anyway have a good time !!!

[@Lisalisa-210]

@@rockygraziano2339 call and check if there is a fridge, they will happily switch your room to one with a fridge if you don’t already have one

you are the 🐐 of resort reviews 🙌🏽 appreciate your thoroughness and transparency, and above all, your trips to the fitness center. that’s not something most your peers spend anytime on. great work and more power 👊🏽

[@KiKiD9554]

My favorite MGM Hotel, and I'm so excited that they finally renovated the rooms!! Sirricos pizza is my favorite pizza spot. I miss the days of the pizza & beer deal for $7.77.... lol. Thx Jay Jay Love the piglet sweatshirt😊

[@Jaycation]

Piglet FTW!

[@TravelwithTravelarii]

The renovated SoHo King room looks comfy and stylish. @Jaycation Thanks for sharing the details! 👍

[@whimsicalhamster88]

Great video! NYNY is my favorite casino to look at in Vegas. I stayed in one of their rooms once and they upgraded me to a room with a jacuzzi tub and strip view, which was nice. Their casino bar is the loudest place I’ve ever been in Vegas, though. It’s like they were trying to make you go deaf.

[@Jaycation]

jacuzzi room looks fun!

[@roythousand13]

I never stayed in NY NY, but I always hang out at the property because of the restaurants, bars, and the vibe.

[@amyshaffner]

Awesome detailed review Jaycation! I hope the theme resorts don't go away anytime soon. NYNY grew on me, living across from Manhattan, I agree with Action Kid's sentiments. I'm glad you showed the pizza place! It is a great deal for a slice and drink. They did a great job with the room renovations. 🤗😎😄

[@Jaycation]

there will always be theme resorts to some capacity!

[@bownarrow7114]

You should have notified the front desk that the safe was locked. They would have sent up Security to open the safe. This happened to me. When Security opened the safe, a $100 bill was inside that left by the previous guest.

[@Jaycation]

yeah i didnt feel like it since i was there just 1 night

[@lisawheeler21]

That premier room states on the website it comes with a fridge. I’ve got one booked for March. I will be calling down if my fridge isn’t in there!

[@Jaycation]

im sure there is one! just not the cheapest option i got

Thanks for the Video Jay I like what they did with NYNY rooms. Think this going be my MGM budget property choice. Also was 0:19 a mistake? "San Diego,CA" lol or you advertising your new channel?

[@Jaycation]

probably a mistake lol

[@Isabela_Paola_Alvarado]

I only been to Las Vegas once I never stayed in any of those hotels or eat at the restaurant. It’s because I went with a group of people and I did what they wanted to do, but when I go back to Las Vegas to visit I am definitely going to do what want to do and see all the things that I missed!

[@butterbrown100]

Ugh!! 😩 it’s so tricky with a group sometimes doing everything everyone else wants to do hope you can make it back .

[@Jaycation]

group trips are always tricky with different agendas and ideas!

[@Jaycation]

yup!

[@SAsh-zg6ln]

Stayed there a couple times within the last 2 years. It’s pretty good but can be confusing as hell with all the turns u have to take to get to ur room. I’m staying at mirage because I’m comped there. For some reason I rarely get comped at nyny. I’m usually only comped at Excalibur and Luxor

[@Jaycation]

those halls are confusing!

[@PaulDoe79]

Absolutely love New York. Just stayed at Grand last week and Luxor back in December. But New York is one of my favorites along with Bellagio and Venetian. We also had the Soho room and the extra space helped make the room super comfortable.

[@igniteexport1463]

Grand is just to big for me. Everytime i have stayed there I feel like i walk and walk and walk and im still no where. Luxor traditionally has been my go to for cheaper then Aria or Bellagio for higher end. Cant wait to check out Cosmo balcony room. Cant wait to check out NYNY in December my first stay.

[@PaulDoe79]

@igniteexport1463 You ain't kidding about the walking at Grand! I felt like I was back at Ceasars Palace

[@sethkang4410]

Im always so curious on this hotel. Thanks jay

[@Jaycation]

nice!

[@CJCthefirst88]

Never stayed at NY NY but I like to hang out and eat at their bars and restaurants. The location is perfect on the Strip.

[@Jaycation]

great location

[@chrisguardiano6143]

Great video Jaycation. I love Shake Shack as well, especially the fries. As for NY NY, it is one of my favorite Vegas casinos & its location is excellent. I especially like Sirrico's & I agree with you about America restaurant.

[@Jaycation]

Shake Shack FTW! 🙌🏾

[@toddfoster975]

Enjoyed our stay at NYNY. Room was very nice and lots to see and do. Very kid friendly and pool area was nice and big. Only negative was maybe a bit too south the central strip area. Still lots to see and do at the hotel and near the hotel.

[@Jaycation]

at least its not as south as mandalay bay lol

[@DennisSmithAIStockImageClub]

I stayed at NYNY back in the 90s when it was new and have rode the coaster before and it was a lot of fun. Probably a smoother ride back then. I don't remember what the rooms looked like but love the new look. I'd probably request a higher floor so I'm up above everything and can enjoy a better view of the strip. I've always loved the look of the building and it makes it different then just the average design of other Vegas properties.

[@Jaycation]

yeah the coaster is crazy bumpy now haha

[@DennisSmithAIStockImageClub]

I met Jeff & Kristina at the Beer Haus before a Depeche Mode concert last December. I was with my cousins but I was able to chat with them a bit. Hope to get back down this fall and hangout with them more.

[@LibraryDarkArts]

The quote on the wall “Darling I love you …”. Is a reference to the opening song from the old TV sitcom _Green Acres_ . Look it up and it will make more sense.

[@Jaycation]

nice!

[@markcummings3146]

Stayed here back in 2013, found it to be a solid mid-range option. It doesn't feel run down or cheap but doesn't have the glamour of other Vegas hotels. There are reasonable food options. nice theme (yes I've been to New York a few times), solid location. On the downside no real night life, no poker room and the pool was quiet and quite a bit of it in the shade.

[@JosieJayD]

Ayyy I loved the spa suite!!! That was my favorite hotel! Only one I seen with a fridge!! Plus my mom loved playing here. We were winning here!! Hahah

[@Jaycation]

spa suite sounds fun

[@Jaycation]

[@jbs256]

Hi Jay, nice review. I haven’t stayed at NYNY for quite a bit. It still looks all familiar, though. I remember the deli being good, Nathan’s upstairs was Nathan’s and good. I don’t remember the pizza and beer deal but the pie was good. I do have a very fond memory of a stay there during an early visit to CES. I left my friends at the show and headed back to the hotel to get some gaming time in. That’s how I was getting comps or low rates for Comdex then CES. I was playing an 8/5 Bonus Poker 25¢ machine. (Excellent odds for a Strip casino!) I got dealt a Royal. The only one of my life. (So far) It was also the first Vegas hotel I stayed at after 9/11. The trip was booked and it was a few weeks after. It was emotional and Miss Liberty was a repository of flowers and ribbons and Teddy bears etc. There was a giant mural over check-in. The Twin Towers still stood in the painting. 🙏 Memories both good and sad. Joe Oh and I was born and raised in NYC, grew up mostly in Queens. NYNY H&C is just fine as an homage to the duty. It hits all the notes. I’ve lived in L.A. since 1977. I’m 67 now.

[@yvonneacosta2539]

Happy New Year Jaycation. New York New York looks really good. Love the room. May need to stay there sometime. Definitely has lots of food options. The bathroom is small so you can have the New York experience. LOL I think Terry Fator's last name is pronounced Fay-ter. That's how I heard it when he was at the Mirage.

[@Jaycation]

FAY TER! i gotta remember that haha

[@Jaycation]

its a nice area of the strip!

[@annking8633]

Loved the review. Stayed there 8 years ago and loved it. Greenburgs rocks. ❤😊

[@Jaycation]

[@silverice9972]

I go to Vegas several times a year. I always stay at NYNY or Park MGM. The location is perfect if you are attending events at T Mobile, Allegiant Stadium or Dolby Live. It’s a short 25 minute walk/tram ride from NYNY to Allegiant stadium. I love gambling at NYNY because the casino isn’t too big (like MGM) and they have a DJ at the Center Bar at night. The DJ plays great music and pumps up the crowd. I love playing roulette by the DJ area…I’m able to gamble and still be part of the party at Center Bar. Also, right outside NYNY is the Brooklyn Bridge and they always have free live music at night and televised sporting events on occasion. Dueling piano bar is great and the pizza is fantastic! Viva Las Vegas!

[@westsparks6844]

I always liked the NY NY. Has everything you need under 1 roof. Easy access to other resorts also. Love the American Cafe

We had a good stay there in December! We were offered an upgrade to a Soho Premium Stay Well strip view room. It was in the Chrysler Tower on the 25th floor and didn't have the strange tint on the window. It was slightly bigger with a couch and the stay well amenities. Our room actually had a fridge, so that was cool. I would stay here again if I was trying to keep the hotel cost down.

[@Jaycation]

I gotta stay at a stay well renovated room next time!

[@Brian-mj1of]

Regarding the locked safe, just call the front desk to have someone come up and open it.

[@Jaycation]

if i was there longer i wouldve called

[@sam-of6lv]

Mandalay bay also has bulk amenities. It's the new thing for most places to reduce waste..

[@michaeld7229]

We had a fridge in our room. We were there January 1st 2024. We had a standard 2 queen room

[@Jaycation]

guess it depends on the room type

[@ChetDonnelly1985]

I remember when this hotel was being built figuring I've been coming to Las Vegas since 1994, yep I've been in this property so many times my brother and I tried that America restaurant two years ago and it sucked big time and so did that Sandwich shop but the fish and chips place that was good on my end, and I have a special place for that pizza place downstairs I have had so many slices there over the years in good and bad times so yeah.😋😋😋😋 The room is not something I like and again no fridge that's MGM for you and aside form that it's just to small for my tastes thanks for the tour anyway Jay we'll catch you on the next one😊😊😊😊

[@MikeDawson27]

Just found this video. The non-smoking signs are more prominent because of the pot smokers/vapers. They argue that "pot is legal". So are cigarettes, you can't smoke ANY of it in the room. I know a few front desk folks that take complaints about pot smoke when folks check in and hit them with a $300 cleaning fee. People can do what they want, but when they stink up the hallway, they're just horrible neighbors.

They need to bring back themed style hotels to Vegas!.... I think that's where Fontainebleau missed the mark trying to be upscale when there are plenty of upscale hotels already in Vegas. They should have went with some kind of themed style resort to bring in all demographics from families to adults they would have had better opening success. That's where resorts world miss the mark also the original plans were to have different parts of the globe but they abandoned that theme for some reason!?
