New York-New York Hotel & Casino
A themed roller coaster alongside the pool
About this hotel
New York-New York Hotel & Casino leans on its Big Apple theming throughout, a genuine draw for kids who notice the skyline-inspired architecture on arrival, with a roller coaster adding an on-site activity beyond the pool itself. The outdoor pool and hot tub give families a calmer counterpoint to the property's livelier bars and casino floor, useful for balancing an active afternoon with a wind-down swim before dinner. Sophisticated rooms keep the stay comfortable for parents even as the public spaces lean into the New York theme, and live shows round out the evening options without needing to leave the property. The location sits close to the core Strip corridor, walkable for dinner and other evening outings.

Our take
New York-New York suits a family with kids who'll enjoy the theming and the on-site roller coaster as much as the pool, plus parents who want sophisticated rooms without a quiet retreat feel. It suits less a family wanting a low-key, understated stay, since the property's theme and energy run loud throughout.
- ✓Ride the roller coaster earlier in the day before lines build up with the afternoon crowd.
- ✓Balance an active day with a wind-down pool session before dinner to keep tired kids on track.
- ✓Walk to the core Strip corridor for evening outings; the location makes it an easy stroll.

Why guests love itA family with two tweens said the roller coaster became the trip's running joke, ridden at least once every single day before the kids would agree to settle down at the pool. The hot tub in the evening became the parents' own quiet moment once the kids had worn themselves out on rides and pool laps. Walking to nearby restaurants felt easy given how central the property sits.
