Which is better New York or Philly?

Which is a better place to stay - MGM Grand or New York, New York in Las Vegas?

  • I am going the first week of April. I need to know which is less crowded, which is cleaner, which has the loosest slots, and overall better place to stay. I will either be in a spa room at New York, New York or in the Grand Tower at MGM Grand. Thanks for your help!

  • Answer:

    My congratulations, you are either very lucky or you have done your research, the first week of April has the best rates up until Memorial Day. The MGM wins on all counts up until you you compare a suite to a nice room. The Grand tower rooms at MGM are nice rooms, but, they are not a suite. The problem I have with NY NY is that the rooms are a little on the small side, and what should be the best location rooms, the ones on the East side(facing the strip) have a noise problem from the roller coaster(Manhattan Express) The MGM has many more dining options, and the Casino is wide open and huge. The MGM also has better video poker at the quarter level, if you play dollars then it's a toss up. MGM has far more tables & slots. Not to throw your plans out the window, but have you thought of Luxor, Mandalay Bay or LV Hilton. Each has some remarkable low rates from April 1st - 5th & even the weekend is lower than normal. LV Hilton>ROH Rooms are on par with MGM Grand Tower rooms> Will upgrade to Premium rooms for as little as $25>The video poker at the LV Hilton is better than any strip casino>The Sport Book at the LVH is by far the nicest. If you're looking for a place to call home in the future with comp rooms and enjoy 4 star hotels, the two best in LV are the LV Hilton & Golden Nugget. Our play averages 5-6K per day and we receive up to an offer of 4 free nights Sun/Thur & sometimes free 3 night weekends. I'm sure the offer jumps up at a 10K level. You would have to double that play level to even come close to those offers from a 4 star strip hotel. The LVH has wonderful restaurants and an excellent buffet. The only negative is, it's not on the strip. The up side is, the Monorail has a station that's practically inside the LV Hilton's casino, for strip travel.Rate for April 1st-5th are $65.95 the weekend is $125...>ask for a room that faces south-west for a great view< Luxor>Just on a hotel+casino+room comparison to NY NY & MGM the Luxor falls in between the two, with MGM coming out on top. For interesting and cool the Luxor wins hands down. How often do you get to stay in the worlds largest pyramid, and they take the pyramid theme to the max. I like the Pyramid rooms over the new tower rooms even though the new tower rooms are a little larger. The Spa rooms in the Pyramid have the spa built up into the corner of the room, awesome view. Rate for April 1st-5th are $79 >rates are double for a spa suite Mandalay Bay>has the greatest pool area in LV>huge casino>the negative is, their beds are not very comfortable(IMHO). Rates for April 1st-5th $99.95 this is the best site for up to date LV info - you can use it to link to all LV hotel web sites. >"VEGAShttp://www.lasvegasadvisor.com>%22VEGAS INFO" >hotel - casinos >link

well both are right across the street from each other. and you will only be in "your" hotel when you are going to your room most likely. so you can have best of both worlds. i would look up which one would be cheaper to stay in. both are owned by the same man so both should be equally clean just different enviorments.

This is true.....My wife and I just got back from Vegas last Saturday. We made a stop our first day at the MGM for lunch. BIG MISTAKE. My wife got severe food poisoning and ended up in the hospital for the whole week. I would avoid that place like the plague.

MGM Grand is much larger than New York New York. The MGM Grand might be a better bet because it is so large it might be less crowded. They are scross the street from one another though.

Well they are right across the street from each other and there is a bridge between them across the Strip so no real big difference...but I prefer New York, New York because it is a manageable size, MGM is sooo large I found it too impersonal....It wears you out just walking around the casino area...

Have not stayed at MGM, but love New York, New York.

The slots in the Grand are great and convienently located. Plus if you end up wandering around looking for an exit, anyone will put you in a pretty good location to continue, getting lost......er I mean exploring. The Grands rooms are a great overall value at any price, plus dining and shopping I feel are a lot more reasonable in price.
