The Big Apple Coaster and Arcade

This review is purely for the ARCADE ONLY. I've never ridden the roller coaster because the ticket price doesn't seem very appealing to me, but we frequent the arcade a lot because of its location on the strip. Best for when you are killing time on the strip and you're already here and want to be entertained. Not something I would go out of my way for, but definitely something I stop by mid-day. Pros:- An extremely fun way to kill time if you're not that into gambling but okay with spending some money! They have a really great variety of typical arcade games, including coin pushers, skee-ball, air hockey, basketball, etc.. My personal favorite is the rabid plunger shooting multi-player game on a big screen LOL. - Most games are 25-30 credits, which are pretty reasonable. There's a lot of games where you can get a lot of value or play time from them, and then some games that are definitely scams haha. - Decent prices for the Vegas Strip, 30 dollars gives you 300 credits, which is about 12 games or machines. Very easy to blow quickly but you can also stretch it out if you like.- Decently clean bathrooms with lots of stalls availableCons:- I would strongly recommend you only come for the experience (or to distract your kids), since the tickets-earning potential is not worth the prizes. 1250 tickets can only get you a very small keychain plushie. But my husband and I always get one just to commemorate the memory and Vegas trip.- Temperature can get stuffy and sweaty sometimes - you do have to purchase a card to tap on the arcade machines the first time you come, but my husband and I just make sure we bring our card back every time we come to Vegas.Honestly, I'm grateful this is here!

This place honestly isn't bad. It's fun. The blah thing is that you can't get the bulk price at 10 which I thought you could and then rome around arcade for an hour and then play the or go on the roller coaster. That was not the case, though you don't really win much, but it was fun. It was all AND all fun. Definitely a lot of colors going on with all the games.. my nephew accidentally broke a machine because he was playing it over and over and over again they cannot fix it so now it's off

Roller coaster ride inside New York New York [Las Vegas NV]When we arrived here the first time and got in line the attraction staff deemed that it was too windy to operate the roller coaster so there was a delay for some time. We got out of the queue to try another time since we already claimed our Go City® passes for tickets. We returned the next day in the evening and it was perfect ... the line was very short and we were able to ride the roller coaster. Very clever setting where we stepped onto the platform of a New York Subway station and hopped into one of the train cars (roller coaster), which was designed to look like NYC taxi cabs. This was, after all, the New York New York Hotel & Casino. I love the drops (about 80-ft) but didn't enjoy the loop (I got dizzy)... The ride lasted about 3-mins and went through a series of hills, inversions, vertical loops, and a corkscrew spiral.Lockers are provided for $1 rental for an hour. They require you to store anything loose and "not attached to your body" in the lockers.We finally experienced the roller coaster ride at New York New York after seeing it many, many times on the Strip. Probably won't do it again... this was a 3.5 experience for us but knocked $25/ea with our Go City® pass ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Review #3409

When it was announced we were doing our company meeting in Vegas I knew I would make time to ride the rollercoaster at the New York New York hotel! Once you purchase your ticket, you will walk through the arcade, and in the back is the rollercoaster entrance. No phones are allowed so they do offer complimentary lockers (PIN code to lock) to place all of your belongings prior to getting on the rollercoaster. Please note that majority of the ride is outside so if it's cold you def want to keep your jacket on (lesson learned). I know I enjoyed myself and after some arm bending I know my teammates enjoyed themselves!

If you've followed any of my reviews, you know I'm theme park obsessed and a little loopy (coaster pun). I wanted to LOVE this, but unfortunately this coaster needs a solid refurbishment to smooth out the ride. We were thrust around and ultimately left sore as the over harass clashes into your head even when trying to seat fully back. Ultimately, this is not a do over for us and bums me out as I'm a coaster fiend.

Really nice arcade I loved all the games. It was New York Themed and while the adults play in the casino the kids can play in the arcade

We rode this pretty late at night and it was okay, not worth the $25 for 2-3 mins. It's located inside an arcade and there are many other things to do.

Lord, when you have time to spare while on a work trip, you will find any reason to do the tourist thing. No matter the cost, time it takes, or the walk you will endure. After doing the High Roller my colleague and I decided to take in the rollercoaster here. We reserved our tickets online prior to our arrival.Now, if you have never been here in this hotel complex, do not worry if you have no idea where you are going or how to get to this spot. We wondered for a very long time, even after stopping and asking for directions, which were vague. After trudging the large staircase we found ourselves in the right place...only to find that there was an escalator that we did not see.We go to get in line and were promptly redirected to go put our belongings in a locker. On top of the heavy price for a singular ride, they want you to purchase the use of a locker to store all your items. That's right, if you are blind without glasses, you are not going to see much here. Also, to note, if you want to endure this ride more than once, you can pay an extra fee to ride it as many times as your body can in a day (more on that later).All pockets empty, nearly blind, squinting, we head back to the line to show our QR code (which I don't even think they cared about at this point). We were ushered into car queues and waited for the cars to approach. When they did, we all shuffled into our seats. Lap bar comes down and the most useless overhead harness buckles you in.Then you are off. And I can echo a review from over a decade ago, recommending riding this rollercoaster once and only once. It is not enjoyable in the least. I had the worst headache because, even with an overhead harness, there is no cushioning whatsoever and your head is just being slung everywhere. You think you got it under control and then your head slams back again and again and again. I honestly thought I was concussed after this singular ride. I did not like it one bit.I mean, I did still giggle the whole time because that is my go to for situations like this. But by the end I was feeling the pain. It effectively felt like I had fallen down a flight of stairs by the time I approached the platform again.Yes, you will get some awesome views of the Strip, if you can focus on that. When you're not attempting to keep yourself from being physically harmed by this. I'm glad I did this, but one and done. I'm kind of glad I didn't have my glasses on for this.I didn't even want to look at the arcade portion after enduring that assault.

I hadn't been on a coaster in years, so while in Vegas, why not! Lol Located at NY NY, you can see the coaster off the strip. Normally $25, but we lucked out on a discount for $18/person for military or first responders. The ride is prob under 5 minutes, but there are drops, a loop, and a corkscrew. I have to admit, the ride turned my stomach upside down and I know I did yell some profanities lol but the ride was worth it. Afterwards, you can purchase pics that were taken before and during the ride.

This roller coaster was great and I had so much fun i highly recommend to ride! perfect activity to do in Vegas and I enjoyed riding with my friends and family! Miguel was cool and helpful and made my experience easy
