New York-New York uses the New York City influence of its name in
several ways. Its architecture creates an impression of the New York
City skyline; the hotel includes several towers configured to resemble
New York City towers such as the Empire State Building and the
Chrysler Building. In front of the property is a pool representing New
York Harbor, with a 150 ft (46 m) tall (half-scale) replica of the
Statue of Liberty, a roller coaster, and replicas of the Brooklyn
Bridge, Soldiers and Sailors Monument, the Whitney Museum of American
Art, Ellis Island, and Grand Central Terminal, among other well-known
structures.
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 Central
Park, while the shops are modeled after Greenwich Village.
The resort is located on the northwest corner of the Tropicana - Las
Vegas Boulevard intersection. At street level, pedestrians are blocked
from crossing by concrete barriers. Instead, New York-New York is
linked by overhead pedestrian bridges to its neighboring casinos to
the south (the Excalibur, across Tropicana Avenue) and to the east
(the MGM Grand, across the Strip).
