Every now and then a resort earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, New York-New York, in Las Vegas Strip, is one of those. The reasonable location score reflects what guests actually feel on arrival, a short ride from the main sights, with the kind of rhythm a city traveller tends to want. Expect well-appointed rooms with an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi, practical details that keep showing up in consistently flattering comfort feedback. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, well over 7,000 reviews, scoring solid on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €44 a night, a fair-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. It's the kind of Las Vegas property that rewards a careful comparison, the spec sheet doesn't quite capture what makes it tick.
