We popped into New York-New York and are forced under Nevada state law to share a few items of note. Ten, to be exact.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is it’s a slow news day, so we’re pretty much just going to ramble aimlessly about things that caught our eye at this iconic Las Vegas resort.<\/p>\n

Plus, some scoop, because that’s how we roll.<\/p>\n

\"New
The New Yorker Hotel is within the skyline of New York-New York. That’s some “Inception”-level Vegas trivia right there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We were going to call this story “10 Whimsical Observations About New York-New York,” but you know damn well you wouldn’t have bothered to read it. So, on to the quickies!<\/p>\n

1. Rumor: Jon Taffer Venue in the Works<\/h2>\n

Jon Taffer, of “Bar Rescue,” is reportedly bringing a restaurant and bar to New York-New York. That’s all the information we have, and this news hasn’t been confirmed, but we figured we’d share it here for bragging rights down the road. Taffer operates Taffer’s Taverns<\/a>, so our guess is that’s what’s happening at New York-New York.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Opinions vary about Jon Taffer, but scoop is scoop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2. New York-New York Room Renovations<\/h2>\n

New York-New York is prepping for a major room renovation, presumably set to start this month. A rep for New York-New York says, “Official press released photos of the renovation renderings will be available on the NYNY Hotel & Casino Web site beginning 9\/15\/22.” We don’t wait for news releases, sorry. Also, there’s a sign with renderings of the renovations on the wall at New York-New York, so there’s that.<\/p>\n

We are not going to be that photo caption that points out how “glitz” is spelled. Probably.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a closer look at one of the rooms.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, renovations at mid-tier resorts use hand-me-downs from upper-tier resorts, but we don’t recognize anything familiar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3. Lobby Bar is Gutted<\/h2>\n

We shared in June<\/a> that the Lobby Bar at New York-New York was set to close, with plans to replace it with a Starbucks. We can confirm the bar has closed, and the video poker machines have been removed, resulting in the loss of innumerable angel wings.<\/p>\n

\"\"
So many foggy memories from this bar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4. Coyote Ugly Has Shadow Dancing<\/h2>\n

We love shadow dancing. We wept openly when Shadow Bar closed at Caesars Palace, and bemoaned the end of the shadow dancers at O’Sheas (they forgot to pay the licensing for the projections, oops). The good news: There’s shadow dancing at Coyote Ugly at New York-New York. A dancer named “Frenchie” was steaming up the frosted glass, enticing customers from the casino floor.<\/p>\n
