Inspired by the excitement of Las Vegas and New York City - the newly designed rooms will feature exposed faux brick walls and accent colours such as New York City’s Big Apple Red and Taxicab Yellow. Other features will include moveable work surfaces, USB/USB-C power outlets and additional shelving and closet space.
“It’s an exciting time at New York-New York. We recently launched Cirque du Soleil’s Mad Apple show to tremendous feedback from our guests,” said Michael Neubecker, the resort’s President & COO.

Completion of all guest rooms and Spa, Marquis and Players suites is scheduled for summer 2023 with the first collection of standard and premier rooms available for guest stays in late October 2022.
