You lucky readers, we got two more additions to the Breaking Even tier of the Viva Las Vegas Hotel Map today. First up is the New York New York Hotel Casino. Now, New York is nowhere near crapping out but it certainly lacks the grandeur of say the Venetian or coolness like The Palms. Namely, the biggest complaints are that the rooms are showing signs of wear and tear. In fact, our friends who travel to Vegas on business frequently prefer the rooms at MGM Grand (which we think has seen some better days) than the rooms here.

The more enjoyable parts of the hotel casino are the neighborhoods of NYC that are represented here. Sure it's a bit cheesy and in no way does it capture the real NYC but it's better than strolling amongst faux ancient Egyptian cities.  Ironically, some of the restaurants there are more apt to be found in Southern California than say Greenwich Village, like Chin Chin, Il Fornaio and Gonzalez y Gonzalez.

Still, there's a lot of excitement at the hotel from the famous roller coaster to the dueling piano bar in "Times Square", which is almost always crowded with drunk people who love Billy Joel. Kinda like a night out in Long Island.

Gaudy Themed Attraction:
Fake Manhattan Skyline.

Now Showing:
The sexy Cirque du Soleil show, Zumanity.

Hotel Hotspot:
The Bar at Times Square.

Hotel Restaurant:
Nine Fine Irishmen for "fine" dining. Pizza shops for late-nite, alcohol-absorbing pit stops.

Who You Are Most Likely To See Gambling
The younger crowds and people who have never been to the real New York but think that this should suffice.
