Description
The 2,024 room New York-New York Hotel and Casino, opened January 3, 1997 and is on the corner, opposite MGM and Excalibur and is owned by MGM. The eye catcher is the 150 foot (46 meter) replica of the Statue of Liberty. Next is a roller coaster the travels up, down around and inside the replica of the famous New York City skyline. Most of the windows, that you see in the background, are actual guest rooms. You can see the Chrysler Building on the right but it also includes the Empire State Building, Wall Street, Ellis Island, Grand Central Station, Soldiers and Sailors Monument and a chance to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, as you walk up to the street level entrance.
Photo taken April 1998 - with a hand held film camera and recently scanned.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments.

Wonderful shot! interesting information well done
wonderful shot of this place
How extraordinary! I especially love the Chrysler Building. It's my all time favorite building in the world. What a magical place and a superb shot.
nice shot.
Sterling POV employed and crisp clarity in this capture, Dana! Wow, who needs to travel to New York when you've got all of the historic icons from that area all neatly and tightly packed in one spot in Nevada!
Well Dana...we share a fascination with this hotel. It is a remarkable structure and you've included an interesting POV. BTW...thanks to my sister-in-law, I did ride the roller coaster...wild!
Very nice... Aloha
That must be an amazing place to visit.
fantastic place and POV!! splendid capture!
Awesome composition Dana!! :)
Marvelous image!!!!
An adult playground! Fun shot done exceptionally well.
Would love to ride the roller coaster. Great pic!!!!
Great shot - NY, NY is a fascinating place, inside and out.
I LOVE NY...And LAS VEGAS TOO :) READ THIS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE....... CANADIAN OR AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS ONLY...... READ WHY! Takes a minute to read, but worth it...especially the last few paragraphs! This is something that maybe we should all think about doing!!! When the Canadian dollar was low in value, foreign companies bought up most of the businesses in Canada at garage sale prices. Foreign owners have closed down the canning factories in Exeter (north of london) and in the Niagara area. As a result the local farmers have no place to sell their produce or have it preserved. In the soft fruit producing area of Niagara, farmers have ripped out their peach trees because other than road side stands who will buy their fruit? The big companies have already decided and publicly announced that it is cheaper to buy canned peaches from Greece, so that is what you will see in stores. The farm land is being sold to developers and turned into big house and condo developments. The canning factory in Exeter was eventually taken over by a co-op of former employees and they will try to make a go of it but it sounds kind of shaky. The politicians stood by and did nothing. Garlic is no longer produced in Canada because it comes from China at a price cheaper than the cost of production in Canada. That's all you see in stores and there is no Canadian produced garlic to choose from even at a higher price. Maybe the high taxes in Canada have something to do with it?? A small but determined radical group trying to unionize farm labour didn't help matters either. Sure all these trade agreements bring us low cost material goods, but if everyone is out of a job who is going to buy these products? Good luck trying to find 100% Canadian products in stores. The only way to find such a thing is to deal directly with the farmer and leave out the retailer. "FOOD" for thought. More information on this subject..... I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT THE COUNTRY MARKET. ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA '. FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN FROM CHINA I WAS SHOCKED!! SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE IS FROM CAL . Another example was in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came from Indonesia . Next to them were President Choice brand 'Produce of Canada' !! The P. C. Went into my grocery bag. TAKES FOREVER JUST TO BUY FOOD AND DO LABEL READING !! Are we Canadians and Americans as dumb as we appear--- Or --- is it that we just do not think? While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the Bush Administration (now Obama Administration) (and the Harper Government!) for perceived errors. Yet 70% of North Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended. Well, duh... why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges? SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, CANADA/AMERICA!! Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ) simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without. Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some North American farmer. Easter is just an example, the point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own. THINK ABOUT THIS, If from June 4 to July 4, 200 million North Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favour . . . Fast!! The downside? Some Canadian/American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory. Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! The solution? Let's give them fair warning and send our own message. Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on June 4, and continue it until July 4. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their North American exports. Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it... "Remember: June 4 to July 4" EVEN BETTER. . . START NOW! Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are intelligent Canadians and Americans, and NOBODY can take us for granted. If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives, WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET! Pass it on North America !!
I've never been to either New York OR Vegas (well, I had a 30 minute stopover in Vegas once on a flight,does that count?), so all these shots are really interesting. If it weren't for the roller coaster, which I would have to take a ride on, all those very familiar NY buildings look very real!!
Outstanding work!
SUPERB CAPTURE AND GREAT WORK....BRAVISSIMO..!!!
bonne photo!
Cool photoshot.
SUPER COOL!
Nice shot...
Excellent POV and capture! Looks like a fun roller coaster. :D
