MGM Grand vs New York New York?

I am going to Vegas in December with a bunch of people who have never been. We don't want to spend a lot of money but we have narrowed our hotel choices to MGM Grand or New York New York. Which has a better view of the strip? Which has nicer rooms? Any other info will be great also. Thanks!MGM Grand vs New York New York?
If you are a group of 'loud' people maybe the NY NY casino (which is one of the loudest, most chaotic on the Strip) will be better for you, it's trying to attract young party-types.



Rooms: I prefer the MGM rooms in that they are larger and overall more comfortable. NY NY has many different rooms and whilst they are all very nice they can be quite small.



Pool: the MGM pool area is definitely better than NYNY



Strip Views: the MGM has so many rooms that some of them of course, will not have the best Strip view but, on the other hand, some will definitely have that great Strip view. It depends on your package, whether you will be assigned a Strip view or not. IT depends on how cheap your rate is and how busy they are when you arrive, as well as how early you check in.



NYNY has great Strip views, but again not all of their rooms will have a Strip view. Others will look at the Excalibur!



It really depends on what you want from your resort.
Depends on when you plan on coming. If it is during the warm weather then MGM has the better pool area. Otherwise, the NYNY would be better. You are right there on the strip and easy to get to and from. The MGM is so massive that you are way off the strip to get to and from your hotel room. No major strip casinos have loose slots. You have to go to the small casinos or a locals to do any good there. Downtown isn't as bad as the strip casinos.MGM Grand vs New York New York?
it really depends, you will have to pay top dollar for a view of the strip in any place. NYNY does have a better view of the strip. I love MGM grand better food, it has a better casino. I love to watch the lions. It is just a nicer hotel. i would stay there.
I have been to the MGM, it's AMAZING!! I never did get around to checking out NY NY but rest assured that either place will be outstanding since every hotel-casino looks like you've just entered a palace.
I dunno not my city, I don't know what ppl see in that city , for me it's just another boring city filled with hotels and casinos nothing specia,l I rather go visit butt f**ken Egypt
New York New York has a better view of the strip.
MGM definately
