Another theme-run-wild place: tuxes on the backs of gaming chairs, change carts that look like yellow cabs, and so forth, all set in a miniature New York City. It's all fabulous fun, but despite a low claustrophobia level (thanks to an unusually high ceiling), it is a major case of sensory overload. This may prove distracting. On the other hand, we won here, so we love it. And in places, it is, if one can say this about anything in Vegas with a straight face, quite beautiful -- or at least dazzling. Serious gamblers understandably may sniff at it all and prefer to take their business to a more seemly casino, but everyone else should have about the most Vegasy time they can. NY-NY participates in the MGM MIRAGE Player's Club, also valid at sister properties like the MGM Grand and The Mirage.
