Hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip designed to evoke New York City in its architecture and other aspects
Overview
New York-New York uses the New York City influence of its name in several ways. Its architecture is meant to evoke the New York City skyline of the 1940s era; the hotel includes several towers configured to resemble New York City buildings such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. In front of the property is a 150-foot tall replica of the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World), and replicas of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Main Immigration Building on Ellis Island, and Grand Central Terminal.Within the resort, particular gambling areas, lounges, restaurants, and meeting rooms are named after New York City neighborhoods or landmarks. The main casino area, for example, is named after Times Square, while the eateries are modeled after Greenwich Village. At the casino, special decks of playing cards are used where the "heart" suit is replaced by apples, in reference to the city's nickname Big Apple.
The Big Apple Coaster (formerly Manhattan Express and The Roller Coaster) travels through the property's interior and exterior. The coaster is 203 ft (62 m) high, has a maximum drop of 144 ft (44 m), and reaches speeds up to 67 mph (108 km/h). The roller coaster has trains that resemble a traditional Checker Cab.
