From the outside the hotel has the appearance of some of the most famous buildings of the New York skyline like the Empire State Building and the Chrysler building. You’ll also find mini reproductions of well known landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge. Inside, the hotel has a mini theme park and we can thoroughly recommend the roller coaster which starts there and moves all around the outside of the building. This is an extract from our free Las Vegas City Guide.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON NEW YORK NEW YORK HOTEL
The New York New York roller coaster peaks at 203 feet and has a drop of 144 feet. At one point it simulates a jet fighter barrel roll and reaches a top speed of 67 mph. It’s open Monday to Thursday from 11am to 11pm and Friday to Sunday from 10.30am to 12am. Individual tickets are now $14 (2010 price) which we think is far too expensive for what it is, but if you like roller coasters, there’s no doubt that it’s a good one.
