A hotel with a Manhattan skyline façade, New York-New York does a cheerful imitation of the Big Apple. Its main-floor casino models Central Park with trees, bridges, and brooks. Coney Island, New York-New York’s upper-level midway, beckons with carnival games and the thrilling Manhattan Express roller coaster. In perhaps a New York tradition the hotel didn’t intend, standard rooms can feel cramped. Not that guests spend much time there, preferring the pool, a fairly straightforward affair relative to its Strip competitors. Among the many eateries, Il Fornaio provides fine Italian cuisine.
