Stayed here for three nights, however two would have been enough. The rooms were adequate but nothing special. Would choose somewhere further down the strip next time. We had asked for a quiet room and it certainly was not noisy. A long queue to check in but it moved reasonably fast, impersonal service. But I guess this is to be expected in such a large hotel. The plug in the sink didn't work properly, but didn't think we would have got much support if we complained. Rooms a good size, but nothing special and uncomfortable pillows.

We just got home from a 3 night stay at the New York New York Hotel and Casino. It was a very disappointing experience. We had reserved a non-smoking room with a king size bed. What we got was a smoking room with 2 double sized beds about 500 ft away from the only elevator that went to that floor. I woke up with a headache from smelling the smoky pillow all night so we requested a room change the next day. They had us move ourselves to a tiny room where only one person could walk around the room at a time. There was no table in the room and only one chair so we couldn't order room service. My husband had a conference so I brought my laptop so I could do some work from the room while he was away. However, the internet connection was so slow (and I tried 100 times within 3 days from both rooms) I was never able to download or upload anything to my work. I thought since I can't work I'll go have a manicure/pedicure. The pedicure chair was basically a folding chair up on a platform. Very uncomfortable and awkward and not a pleasant relaxing experience. The towel bar in the bathroom fell off when my husband hung his towel up the first day and there were remnants of a previous hotel guest in the bathroom. The floor hallways were so long that there were 2 ice/vending machine locations per floor. However, both water/pop vending machines on our floor were "Out of Order", very unfortunate when it's 5am and you want a drink of water and you don't want to go hunting on another floor for some water in your pajamas. I would highly recommend you consider another hotel if you are going to Vegas for business or pleasure. Also, we left our kids at home but I wouldn't recommend bringing children as there is nothing there for them to do.

We stayed for one night banck in November, the room we got was showing many signs of wear and tear, also small room, and non smoking with a very strong cigarrette smell. The elevators and the walk to the room also had a not very pleasant smell.
I didn't like this hotel at all.

We had a great stay at NY NY from Dec. 17 - 21, 2006. We booked one of their online specials, which included an upgrade to a Park Avenue room, and their coupon book. We were told that the Park Avenue rooms were the most recently upgraded of the rooms at NY NY, and we were not disappointed. They weren't huge, but they were very well appointed and looked and felt quite new. Out last two stays in Vegas were at the Mirage (renovated room) and at the Venetian, and the Park Avenue room at NY NY was just as good as those other hotel rooms.

Phone staff were excellent, happy to answer questions before our arrival, and on the day of our arrival, happy to make a note that we'd be checking in at 2am instead of 8pm (flight delay). Front desk staff were very professional and didn't hard sell any room upgrades to us. They were quick, efficient, and very courteous.

We were given a room on the 30th floor. The lowest floor of the Park Avenue rooms. No problem at all though, as it was well above the roller coaster, so no noise, and it was the first stop from the lobby on the elevator, so no waiting through each floor on a full elevator. Our strip view was of the MGM, Tropicana, and Excalibur. Very nice too.

I don't know how busy the floor was, but we heard very little noise outside our room. Also, no problems at all with housekeeping wanting to get in early to clean our room. We had late starts every day we were there, and even though we heard housekeeping in the hall, our Do Not Disturb hanger did the trick.

We didn't eat much at NY NY, but we did take advantage of the coupon for Nine Fine Irishmen, and the food and service were very nice.

Self parking wasn't too much of a hassle, and the walk wasn't too bad. Our tower was the closest to the south entrance from the parking garage. This was low season, so I suspect that in high season, the garage will be full!

The location on the strip is an excellent one. We rented a car, so it was easy getting out and about, but even on foot, there's lots around there.

Check out was easy using the TV check out, so we didn't look down the lobby to see if there was a line. Use the TV check out if you can.

We were very very pleased with our stay at NY NY. It really wasn't too far off at all from places like the Mirage and The Venetian. We will definitely stay there again.
