New York-New York opened in 1997 with a façade that compresses the Manhattan skyline into a single building: the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Statue of Liberty, and a half-scale Brooklyn Bridge are all here. The Big Apple Coaster runs around the outside of the building and through the casino, briefly making it the only Manhattan skyline you can ride.
Inside, the casino takes the Greenwich Village treatment: faux brownstones, brick alleyways, a pedestrian "Times Square" with food carts, and an arcade designed to look like a subway station. The Park, an outdoor pedestrian promenade between New York-New York and Park MGM, is one of the most pleasant walking spaces on the Strip when the weather cooperates.
