New York New York Hotel in Vegas?

Question

I've just booked a 5 nights stay at NYNY in Vegas. Can you tell me some good and some cheap places to eat there or nearby? I am looking for your steak specials, seafood specials and good brekkys in particular. Or anything a bit unique too.
Also, what is there to do within the hotel? Do you get free rides on the roller coaster if you are a guest at the hotel?
Thanks.

Just across the Street Fat Burger hand pattied Check it out
Ride the duce to downtown go to the golden gate Get the .99 cent Shrimp cocktail have as many as you can hold

Answer 2

Youre in vegas. Try to find some more money and go to the top notch hotells and see what they have for dinner. With top hotels I mean places like Venetian, Rio, Wynn, Bellagio and Ceasars.

MGM is fun to walk in and has a wide selection off eating places inclucing mcdonalds and much to do. NY NY is also fun to walk in and just watch the atmospere.

One of the statements above gives you a lot off tips of what to do for free and what to do if you have money. If youre trip is a one in a lifetime trip then take enough of money to do the most dos on your list, you will regreat it if youre sneaky on yourselves.

A good advice is the better the hotell the better the food.

Answer 3

The Excalibur and The Monte Carlo are on both sides of New York, New York Hotel. The MGM Grand is across the street from New york, New York. The Tropicana is next to the MGM Grand across the street.

Answer 4

I liked the dueling pianos at the Bar on Times square- it's a really fun place to start your night out. If you hit the brunch buffets at Paris and the Bellagio you won't be disappointed and you be full until dinner!

Answer 5

The new york has a whole area where you can buy food and most of it is cheap or inexpensive. It sort of looks like a new york street with little shops (of food)..

The Tropicana has a really cheap buffet..

Answer 6

The hotel coffee shops and buffets are now much more expensive than they were years ago. So, if you want to eat for less go to the food courts located in many hotels and also try one of the several Denny's restaurants on the Strip (one in the Casino Royal hotel/casino). There are also a number of McDonald, Burger King, and other fast food places on the Stip. You can get breakfast and dinner buffets a few dollars less at the Imperial Palace hotel/casino and at the Gold Coast hotel/casino. Buffets also cost less at the Circus Circus hotel/casino and in Fremont St hotel/casinos. There is an Outback Steak House in the Casino Royale Hotel and another across from the RIO. There is a Cheesecake Factory and a Planet Hollywood in Caesars Forum shops. There is a Marguritaville in the Flamingo hotel. I recommend Tony Roma’s, a ribs and chicken restaurant; one on Fremont St and another on Sahara Ave near Paradise Rd. The Flamingo hotel has a dinner buffet that includes crab legs and a lot of other seafood. Its about $18 a person. The Rio hotel has the biggest seafood buffet in Vegas but it runs about $30 a person. Bear in mind that these prices may have gone up since I was there in December. If you want an elegant dining experience go to the TOP of Vegas in the Stratisphere hotel. Its a revolving restaurant at the top of the tower. The food is good, but its expensive and you do have to make reservations.

No you don't get free rides on the NY, NY hotel roller coaster. The hotel has a casino and some shops that look like a typical NY neighborhood street; that's the decor.

What else to do???

People go to Vegas to sightsee as well as gamble. You can see most of the stuff on the Strip by walking, so you don't need a rental car. There is a free monorail between Bellagio and the Monte Carlo Hotel and also another free one between Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay. The one on the opposite side of the street which runs from the MGM to the Hilton you have to pay to ride. There is a free bus between Harrahs Hotel to the RIO Hotel that runs every half hour. There is also a free bus that you can get outside the Barbary Coast Casino that will take you to the Orleans and some other off strip casinos.

Plan which hotels/casinos you want to visit each day so you can make the most of your walking and the free monorails and scuttles. When you get to Vegas you will probably have in your hotel room a free guide to the city called either "What's ON" , “Showbiz”or "Las Vegas Today". These are helpful guises as they have a map of the Strip and city with the hotels marked, current hotel shows and prices, plus useful coupons. Some coupons will give you a free souvenir from certain hotels; you just have to take the coupon to the hotel. They also list hotel restaurants and buffets time sand prices.


When you go to Las Vegas these usual things you will want to see for FREE:

1. Number one on my list is to watch the fountains displays in front of the Bellagio hotel. It usually runs every 15 minutes in summers starting at 3:00 PM; runs continuously until about midnight. Each show is different (there are more than 20 different tunes choreographed) so stay and watch at least 2 or 3. ALSO, go inside the Bellagio hotel to its lobby and view the beautiful glass sculptured ceiling AND the seasonal floral arrangements in the Atrium.

2. The “Sirens of TI” show (spectacular) in from of the Treasure Island Hotel; it runs every 90 minutes starting at about 4:30 PM. Simply stand on the sidewalk in front of the TI Hotel.

3. The volcano erupt in from of the Mirage Hotel; starting at dark until midnight. Again, just stand on the sidewalk in front of the hotel.

4. Go down to Fremont Street and see the light shows. There are usually 3 or 4 different shows, starting after dark (about 8:30PM) and lasting about 5 or 10 minutes each.

5. Go to the RIO hotel to see the Masquerade in the Sky show. It is like Mardi Gras parade, only suspended from the ceiling over the gambling floor. It runs every 60 minutes starting about 3:00 PM; the last show starts at 9:30 PM..

6. Go to the MGM Grand hotel to see the Lion habitat. This is better then the tiger habitat at the Mirage Hotel because there are usually trainers in with lions to keep them active.

7. Go to the Mirage hotel to see the white tigers that Siegfried and Roy show used. This is kinda passe because the tigers rarely do anything but sit and stare.

8. Go in Caesars Palace and walk through the Forum shops to the first fountain (its spectacular) then take the first fork to the left to go see the aquarium. Then continue on through the shops to the second fountain and wait for the show to start.

9. Go into the Flamingo hotel to see their animal habitat with flamingos and penguins.

10 The Excalibur hotel also has a free show starting at 10:00 AM until 10:00 PM.

If you are a Star Trek Fan, go to the Hilton (off the strip) for "Star Trek The Experience"; it cost about $35.

Answer 7

There's In-N-out burger, of course. Most places are in the hotels themselves. Caeser's has a Cheesecake Factory. Best deals are in the coffee shops and buffets in hotels.

Answer 8

If you walk upstairs and to MGM, go downstairs, and you will find little stores down there that sell trinkets and souvenirs;
but the best place down there is Fat Tuesdays; where you can get really good, really big, knock-out margaritas!
