LAS Discounts Insider Guide: 5 Ways to Save at New York-New York

Welcome back to the LAS Discounts blog series. We are moving right across the street to explore the Big Apple on the Strip at New York-New York Hotel and Casino.

This property brings the energy of Manhattan to Las Vegas with its iconic skyline and vibrant casino floor. It is a fantastic mid-tier option that offers plenty of ways to stretch your vacation budget. Here are five major insider tips for your next visit.

1. Grab a Slice at the Village Street Eateries

You do not have to book a reservation at a pricey steakhouse to get a great meal. The Village Street Eateries perfectly recreate a bustling New York neighborhood and offer some of the best cheap eats on the Strip. You can grab an authentic slice of New York pizza or a quick deli sandwich for a fraction of what you would pay at a traditional sit-down restaurant.

2. Score Ticket Deals for Mad Apple

New York-New York is home to Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil. It is an incredibly fun mix of acrobatics, comedy, and live music. Instead of paying full price at the box office, make sure to check your MGM Rewards account for member pricing. You can also often find discounted tickets at the Tix4Vegas booths located up and down the Strip if you are willing to wait until the day of the show.

3. Bundle Your Coaster Rides

The Big Apple Coaster is a massive draw, but single ride tickets can be surprisingly expensive. If you have thrill seekers in your group, look into the Scream Pass. This gives you an all-day ride pass for just a little more than the cost of a single ticket. It is a massive value if you plan on riding it during the day and then again at night to see the neon lights. Also, check out the $55 box office special for multiple MGM attractions.

4. Utilize the Free Tram to Bellagio

While New York-New York is located at a busy intersection, getting further up the Strip can take a lot of time and money if you rely on rideshares. Save your cash and take the free Park MGM tram. You just take a short walk indoors to the neighboring Park MGM casino, hop on the tram, and you will be dropped off right at the Bellagio.

5. Leverage MyVEGAS Apps for Freebies

MGM Resorts operates a suite of free-to-play mobile games like myVEGAS Slots. You can earn loyalty points simply by playing on your phone at home before your trip. These points can be redeemed for actual rewards at New York-New York. You can often score buy-one-get-one free drinks at Nine Fine Irishmen or even complimentary appetizers to help lower your daily food budget.
