The New York-New York Hotel & Casino is one of the most iconic hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. This flashing stretch of road in the Nevada desert is filled with many architectural marvels. You will find reflections from Paris, France, Egypt and even Ancient Rome, but when you approach the towering skyline of concrete buildings and pass the Statue of Liberty, there's no doubt that you've arrived at the New York-themed hotel-casino.
The outer facade makes for a wonderful backdrop to your Vegas photos, but it's only the beginning of your tour through 'New York'. The interior of the hotel-casino is fashioned to take its visitors on a journey through the 1940s era of the city. The hallways are paved with cobblestone and asphalt, while the shophouses match the scene of a city sidewalk in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. The casino floor is even called "Times Square".

A brief history of New York-New York Hotel & Casino
The New York-New York Hotel & Casino is the brainchild of former White House staffer, Sig Rogich. Construction plans were put into action in the mid-1990s, and at a cost of over $450 million, the doors opened to the public in January 1997.
The hotel has also gone through multiple renovations since its opening. The Big Apple Coaster has smoother rails and magnetic braking, while the casino floor went through a massive expansion in 2013. The hotel rooms and restaurants are regularly updated, too. In 1999, MGM took full control of the hotel, making it one of the country’s largest casino management groups.
