When I Miss New York...

I can still visit. Las Vegas has a hip, New York themed casino called, you've guessed it, New York, New York. Located on the corner of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Blvd, the NYNY has a fabulous location. The beaming Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge are exterior features that are fun, and photo-worthy. Inside, you will find a replica of the small, quaint streets of Manhattan... A place to get 'New York,' pizza as well as pastries from Little Italy. You can travel to all the boroughs, and even stay in a hotel room that is in the 'Chrysler Building.' It's casino mimicks the paths of Central Park, complete with old-fashioned lampposts and vintage NY photography. It may be gaudy and over-the-top, but it still reminds me of home, and puts me back in the NY state of mind.

I think you and I need to take a walk through this place together, sometime. I can't remember the last time I went there, and I KNOW that I did not understand what I was looking at as you would. :)

I have to ask if the Central Park location has guys doing three card monty. If the drinks are served by people dressed like drug dealers, then I would go there just because.
