The New York-New York Hotel was one of the first hotels to introduce the concept of a themed resort on the Las Vegas Strip, setting a trend that many others would follow. The complex features skyscrapers that can be spotted from miles away, vintage advertisements, and cobblestone walkways that mimic the streets of Manhattan. Even the interior of the structure is designed to reflect iconic parts of New York, such as Times Square and Greenwich Village. The complex houses the Mad Apple Theater, which is a purpose-built entertainment venue created to host Mad Apple by Cirque du Soleil.

Popular productions
  • The Mad Apple Theater is the primary performance area inside the hotel where 1,170 seats are divided across two levels - the core or 'showroom' and a balcony.
  • The theater features two levels of seating, divided further into three sections, with sections 102-103 offering the best views. Sections 101-104 and 201-205 are at the first 'showroom' level, arranged in a fashion similar to a basketball court.
  • Sections 202 and 204 are at the back, but provide good value for their price, while sections 301-305 offer elevated views from the second level. Before the show, the stage transforms into a bar where guests can socialize.
