The main resort features lounges, restaurants, particular gambling areas, and meeting rooms named after NYC landmarks or neighborhoods. The main casino area is named Times Square. Some of the notable restaurants at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino include Gallagher’s Steak House, Nine Fine Irishmen, and Il Fornaio.
