The innovative facades
of the New
York - New York Hotel & Casino re-create the classic Manhattan skyline, complete with 12 New York-style skyscrapers
which house 2,024 guest rooms. These interconnected structures are approximately one-third the actual size of the New York City architecture. The tallest building replicates the Empire State Building at 529 feet, 47 stories. Other icons include a 150-foot replica of the Statue of Liberty; a Coney Island-style roller coaster called Manhattan Express, a 300-foot long replica of the Brooklyn Bridge; and a replica of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument.

 The
Manhattan Express Roller Coaster twists, loops and
dives around the perimeter of the New York - New
York. With heights of 203 feet, drops of 144 feet and speeds up to 67 MPH,
it allows riders to experience the force of negative
g's. Simulating a barrel-roll in a jet fighter, it rolls 180 degrees, hangs 86 feet in the air, then dives back under
itself. Personally, I found it to be way too bumpy!
