New York New York is one of my favorite Las Vegas casinos for several
reasons. Aside from the beautiful Statue of Liberty that stands out for
blocks, there are other reasons to see this casino. One of the reasons is
the ambience of the casino with its shops that surround the casino floor.
You can get a New York pizza or a New York hotdog. The shops are laid out
like old time New York shops of a by-gone era. If you are looking for a
great pastrami sandwich you will find it here.
The entertainment can be enjoyed in the authentic Irish Pub or at their Las
Vegas type show which has accumulated many accolades, called Cirque du
Soleil
Rooms at the New York New York are very comfortable and offer the guest a
nice place to stay without a huge outlay of money. Early reservations are
always the smart move.
The gaming at the New York New York is not much different than what you
would find at other Vegas casinos, except the shops that surround the floor
give the playing area a different air to it. The slots are standard fair
with multiline slots and poker machines. The slot limits are one cent to
$100. They have the obligatory Megabucks slot machines for those that want
to take a flyer at a big payout. For sports betting try the race and sports
book.
The table games have two limits. One is $10 to $2000 and then the
High-Roller limit is $100 to $5000 per play. These table games include
Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Baccarat, Caribbean Stud, Let It Ride and Three
Card Poker. There are always a few tables of new games the casinos are
trying out to see if there is any interest.
As with all Las Vegas casinos, the visitor should check to see what room
specials are available via the Internet. Non-holiday days are always going
to be cheaper than holidays or weekend nights. You may want to check with
the Las Vegas Visitor's Center to see if they have any specials also.
Each year a visit to Las Vegas is different as there is always a new casino
to visit and try your luck. This adult playground is a one of a kind
marvel in the whole world of places to see. When you visit make sure you
see the New York New York.
Luxor Casino
Another choice of my favorite Las Vegas casinos is the spectacular Luxor
with its pyramid shape. This casino with its eye-catching architecture and
the rooms with slanted windows is unusual in many ways. When you are in
your room watch your head as the windows follow the slant of the building
and the top is closer to you than the bottom when you walk toward the
window.
This casino has the standard Las Vegas games on the casino floor, which
includes both table games and slots. There is also a poker room and a race
and sports book. Like most of the Las Vegas casinos there are some special
deals for High Rollers. At the Luxor they have a part of their casino floor
set aside for high roller players. The limits are $100 to $5000 per play.
Like the other Las Vegas casinos they offer Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette,
Pai Gow Poker and Craps. The limits on the games outside of the high
roller area are reduced for the average player visiting Las Vegas.
Entertainment at the Luxor includes the showgirl type show called Fantasy.
There is also a current comic called Carrot Top and another show called the
Ronn Lucas Show.
Fine dining is in vogue at the Luxor. You can go to the Backstage Deli or
the Luxor Steakhouse, which features succulent prime rib and a list of fine
wines. There are other food variations within the Luxor pyramid to tempt your
palette and end your need for sustenance.
The rooms in this casino offer great views of the fabulous Las Vegas strip
and its unique skyline. Like other Las Vegas casinos the rates depend on
the day of the week and if there is a holiday involved. Reservations at the
earliest date are always recommended.
Conclusions
Both of these casino hotels offer the VIP guest very special treatment. If
your action qualifies you as a High Roller then you should ask for the VIP
treatment that both casinos offer this kind of player. If you meet their
requirements you will be taken care of in a grand manner.
These two Las Vegas casinos offer a casino playground that is radically
different from each other. They both have their strengths that make
visiting either a worthwhile venture. If you win the visit will be better
yet, but even if you only break even, you will enjoy the time spent at both
casinos.
