December 23 - New York New York

Among my favorite spots on Las Vegas Boulevard was the New York New York resort and casino.  The towers of the hotel are about 30% scale models of actual iconic buildings in New York city (e.g., Chrysler building is the pointy top building that is second to the right in the line up of buildings and the Empire State building is the pointy top building to the right of the statue of Liberty). The statue of Liberty is, I think a full scale replica of the real thing (first image from the internet). 
 


There was also a Central Park like area just off Las Vegas Boulevard in front of the New York, New York casino resort (second image).  

When I was previously in Las Vegas about 5 years ago, there was a Central Park like area inside the casino but that area seems to have been populated by slot machines and gaming tables. 


Inside the casino, there was a Times Square like area and a Greenwich Village like area (third image - even though it didn't come out well).

In the New York, New York casino is a giant sports betting wall and a roller coaster and a Coyote Ugly bar also but we passed up on those items.
