The new remodeling project taking place at the New York-New York hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada is underway. Designers say that the $63m project will give guests an experience of a New York loft while providing Las Vegas-style amenities.
This remodel encompasses the resort’s 1,830 hotel rooms and 155 of its suites with work expected to be completed by the summer of 2023. It was revealed, however, that some of the rooms will be finished as early as October of 2022.
HVS Design is the hospitality design firm is responsible for the redesign.
HVS Design Principal Christine Shanahan commented: "As we envisioned our design for this project, we incorporated that New York City vibe and twisted it with bold colors and pops of energy to blend with Las Vegas, stressing functionality as a key factor.
"Guests will experience the feel of a loft apartment with convenient touchpoints and amenities designed to make them feel right at home."
Features of the rooms include exposed faux brick walls and accent colors such as big apple red and taxicab yellow. Functional amenities such as movable work surfaces, USB/USB-C power outlets, additional shelving and closet space will be added as well.
Several remodels have already taken place at the location, including the refurbishment of its Big Apple Coaster ride.
New York-New York’s President and Chief Operating Officer Michael Neubecker added: "To embark on a remodel of our rooms and suites is the next step in keeping the resort fresh and giving guests new reasons to visit.
"Whether coming for business or pleasure, guests will find our new rooms offer a stylish and modern respite as they enjoy the excitement of Las Vegas."
Cirque du Soleil also launched the “Mad Apple” show at the New York-New York in May of this year, bringing music, dance and acrobatics to a New York setting.
