After lunch we went to New York, New York, which is our first genuinely themed hotel. It's on the small side, which isn't a bad thing, but very fun. The exterior, as almost everyone knows, is an amalgamation of New York landmarks in random order, with an equally random roller coaster careening through the whole thing. Inside, the eating and shopping areas are done up as New York neighborhoods, and the casino area does a fun interpretation of Central Park. We had a couple hours to kill here while we waited for our show to start, so we gambled a lot. I became a star attraction at one point when I won about $300, all in quarters pouring out of the machine.
