New York-New York vs Monte Carlo : Vegas Battle Royale

New York-New York
Las Vegas Strip
Blow by blow:

AWESOME HOTEL, rooms very comfy, tables nice (pretty generous), cocktail waitresses made lots of trips to our tables. Kinda lousey pool. Coyote Ugly waste of money.

Stayed here in just this month (Dec 2010). I was a little disappointed in the room ( Park Ave), but i love the casino and the resturants. The Atmosphere is great.

Great Atmosphere, great bars, great coaster. I really miss the river though. The last reno ripped out a lot of the stuff that made this place a bit different.

When I stayed at New York-New York it was great. When I booked my casino package it came with a few extras. So when I checked in they were so attentive to me and said that by me being a club member I was being upgraded to a larger room. When I got to my room it was a large corner room for about $69 per night. I also saw Zumanity which I recommend to every sexual red blooded american. It is great.

I stayed here with my friends for a weekend in 02. The room was fine. Basic but clean and had everything you need. The hotel is not as big as some of the others in Vegas, but that is a good thing. The pool is small, but pretty nice. I know they are in the middle of taking away a lot of the theme...that is what gives this place it's character.

Fun place to take groups. Smaller casino but not too small. Crappy restaurants but you can get greasy slices of pizza 24/7. Big Apple Bar is a fun spot. Always have a great time there.

Ahh new york new york what's to say about the big uhh property not apple lol... well for starters they have my utmost respect being they have nathan's dogs and lemonade mmm it was to die for . i was just here for a half day or so navigating the shops and stores and of course to ride the MANHATTAN EXPRESS coaster well for 14 bucks i could have done better use of my money but for a vegas trip and a serious coaster enthusiast it was pretty damn worth the 14 bucks as far as the casino it was a little on the small side which i guess could be bad or good. it thought it was easy to navigate the casino amidst the huge construction area downstairs and all the noise in the middle of the day. but as far as trying to find your way around the maze of the arcade to get to the coaster, good luck and have plenty of patience and hope you find someone helpful in directions on how to get there.oh yeah and beware of the ticket redemption counters and the rude personnel who tend them and the kids who walk around trying to snag your kid's tickets out of the game they are playing yes folks this did happen to us

Never stayed here. The gaming is average in my opinion, but I love fast and sit-down dining here. The pizza place in the little village part is really good for a late-night or just quick snack. ESPN Zone is overpriced as far as food goes but I found it very fun. Also, the dueling pianos are pretty cool. If you go during the week, there is no cover.

Great rooms and pool....love the times square bar and the dueling pianosterrible sports book

Zumanity. Birthday show. Rosey Palm and Horny Margarita. Pretty packed 9-10-08... Gonna check out another show 8-09 maybe.

They got rid of the Big Apple Bar and put in a cookie cutter center bar. I am not to pleased with that decision. Going to the Big Apple Bar at 8 AM was a tradition for my friends and I. Rooms are getting a little dated. We stayed in a Park Avenue Deluxe room facing the Strip. No complaints with the room. The armoire takes up a lot of room. Slots were pretty loose at the time of our trip so my fiance was pleased.

Stayed there when it was new.Still hit the American cafe for late eats on this end of the strip.,and still stare at the map.

A fun place to party. Tons of energy provided by a younger crowd. Fun roller coaster - especially at night. Saw Zumanity and it was a great show. Fun bars in a Greenwich village atmosphere. Loved the theme here. NYNY casino is Vegas kitsch at its best. Good sushi at Chin Chin. Good pizza at Sirrico's. Good coffee shop fare at Americas. Loved the decor and comfort of our Park Avenue room. Biggest downside was the small and uninspired pool.

Staying at NYNY was great. If you get a chance to see Phoenix at the Big Apple Bar you are in for a kick-ass classic rock good time! UPDATE: The big apple bar is no more. Unfortunate as it was a great addition ot the casino floor. The pool here is terrible

Did it. Done that. Rooms are small. Wasn't totally impressed. I'd still probably go back to ride the roller coaster and eat at Nathan's.

A desk clerk has ever told me “I’m sorry Sir, but I don’t think that I can take tips” when I tried the $20 trick. Rooms were cheap and you get what you pay for.

Blow by blow:

We LOVE the Monte Carlo!!! We have stayed here many times, and it is by far our favorite thus far.
The check in process is awesome. You make a short (by Vegas standards) walk from the parking structure, down the stairs and you are right at the check-in desk. The hotel check-in staff are always very friendly, quick and knowledgeable. They make sure everything is just as you want it before you go to your room.
To get to the hotel rooms, you turn around from the check-in desk, and you are right at the elevators. The rooms are always VERY clean, everything works, the TV's are nice and beds are comfortable.
The Pool area is really fun, for all ages. The wave pool, lazy river, hot tubs, etc... it's all there and well maintained.
I love the restaurants are nice, and my favorite so far is The Pub. The Chicken wings are out of this world!! We watched Zowie Bowie for about 3 hours one Friday night and had a blast. (Unfortunately as of Labor Day 2010, Zowie Bowie is going back to Red Rock).
We are planning a trip back to the Monte Carlo in September 2010 and have plans on eating at Andres! Can't wait!!!
I highly recommend the Monte Carlo to anyone.

The sight of my single biggest win ever, 9G's on roulette no less, and therefore very important to me. I hope they have not changed in hte last three years bc I loooooove the smell of the shampoo/conditioner/lotion here. So much memeory association I'll drop a little in the hottub to relax, drink some whiskey and think about Vegas. Rooms are ok, but Ive never seen one sober.

I have stayed here more than any other place....high limit gaming at $25 limits during the daytime, can't beat that. All dealers, pit bosses there are extra friendly. Can't wait to go back. Try Diablo's.

Monte Carlo was our hang out for a while.They were one of the few Hotels that use to allowed Saturday check-in and that fit our schedule at the time.1st place I ever saw a chicken wrap on a menu.The pub is one of the best places to just drink and drink beer.

Monte Carlo offers the best value for staying on the Strip. MC is right next to CityCenter, close to Bellagio & Cosmo and not too far away from Caesar's via walking. Convenient parking and easy access to the other resorts (if you know the shortcuts). I've stayed at MC many times and MC emails me many bargains at very good rates.

We plan to stay at the Monte Carlo in April 2012 for our 2nd time in our many trips to Vegas. Great location and value. Free Monorail connection to City Center & Bellagio. Very centralized location on the strip. Our last stay there was our first, so it was a bit overwhelming. We are not quite Vegas veterans by any stretch, but I am looking forward to this upcoming trip at Monte Carlo.

Great casino design: walk in a straight line and you see everything. Nice but not overwhelmingly so, which is probably why we don't hear too much about it. Their cigar shop probably had the most knowledgeable clerk of any I've met.

Great location, low-key action, affordable, an understated deal in the right location. Accessible to most decent budgets.

I stayed at the Monte Carlo in May 2000 right after I got my divorce and it was my first solo trip EVER. When I arrived I was a little nervouse about being in a big city all by myself. My room was nice, a little small, but fine for just me and the casino was very good. Like all of Vegas; the service was great for a true first timer like myself.

Nice, clean rooms. Nothing flashy at all. I personally had some great blackjack runs here but the dealers range from morose to a lot of fun. Drink service is about average but they don't seem to be actively trying to get you drunk here. The pool area is nice enough but I was there during CityCenter construction and that kinda sucked. Overall, a good property but to me it's just kind of bland. I personally liked themed casinos.

Kind of boring, but bonus points for lots of open tables, and unusually friendly pit-bosses.

Enjoyed Monte Carlo. Quiet casino and nice room. I have also stayed at Hotel 32 which was great. Private lounge, great room and awesome service

Nice place to say, but nothing really stands out about the property. Once CityCenter opens it could become our new home base.

Last hotel stay: May 2006
Last property visit: May 2010
Monte Carlo is dull, and friends who have visited the hotel more recently than I have complained that the furnishings are no longer all that great and the prices are too high for what you get. It does have a surprisingly nice pool area with a wave pool and lazy river, although on a smaller scale than MGM Grand & Mandalay Bay.
