New York-New York Hotel & Casino
New York theming, a roller coaster and a Strip pool
About this hotel
New York-New York Hotel & Casino gives a family a genuinely distinctive Strip stay, built around a Big Apple theme complete with an on-site roller coaster that appeals to older kids and teens more than a standard pool deck alone. Sophisticated rooms and lively bars cover the adult side of the trip, while live shows add another evening option without leaving the property. An outdoor pool and hot tub handle daytime and evening wind-down, and pet-friendly rooms mean the family dog can join. A fitness center and full-service laundry round out a property built for a multi-night stay. The central Strip location keeps other resorts and attractions within an easy walk, useful for a family wanting real variety across several days of a longer visit.

Our take
I would book New York-New York for a family with older children or teenagers. The roller coaster on site, the live shows and the livelier bars give the stay a real sense of occasion, while the outdoor pool and hot tub cover the downtime between outings. Pet-friendly rooms are a useful extra. Families with very young children may find it less restful, because the Strip energy and the nightlife skew toward an older crowd, although the pool itself works for any age.
- ✓Book roller coaster tickets or a ride package in advance if that is a planned highlight of the stay.
- ✓Use the pool in the morning before the property's bar scene picks up energy in the afternoon and evening.
- ✓Confirm pet-friendly room availability directly, since only a portion of the total rooms here accommodate pets.

Why guests love itThe roller coaster was the highlight for our teenager, giving the trip a genuine attraction beyond just the pool and casino floor. Younger kids in our group stuck mostly to the pool, which was solid if not the biggest on the Strip. The New York theming runs through the whole property, from the room decor to the exterior skyline, which made the stay feel distinctive compared with more generic casino towers nearby. Being on the Strip meant walking to dinner and other attractions was easy every night of our stay.
