New York-New York is buzzing like the Big Apple — only this version sits in the heart of the desert. From the Statue of Liberty replica to the iconic roller coaster, from Times Square to Greenwich Village, the resort packs New York’s greatest hits into an 18-acre experience that makes East Coasters feel right at home.
But while everything in Manhattan feels larger than life, the New York-New York sportsbook is anything but. Tucked away inside this mid-tier property, it can be surprisingly hard to find. The surrounding casino offers New York-style slices, classic gaming, and direct access to The Park — a lively outdoor promenade and one of the freshest social hubs on the Strip — but the sportsbook itself remains one of the smallest in Las Vegas.
It sometimes feels like the designers of this resort focused on the roller coaster first and remembered the sportsbook later.
The New York-New York Las Vegas sportsbook (officially the BetMGM Sportsbook at New York-New York) is one of the smallest on the Strip, with a setup that still feels like an afterthought: a compact seating area, a tight layout, and TVs that won’t exactly make you forget your home setup.
Located at 3790 Las Vegas Blvd S, New York-New York sports betting rarely enters the discussion of the Strip’s best sportsbooks. It’s a functional stop for casual bettors — but far from a Vegas showpiece.
Sportsbook hours typically run Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. As with all Nevada sportsbooks, wagers are restricted to patrons 21 and older.
This non-smoking area is fully open to the casino floor, so noise and foot traffic are never far away. Odds are displayed on a single main wall with numerous screens positioned above — enough to track the major games, but not built for premium viewing.
Seating includes a small row of desk-style chairs that fits roughly 25 guests. There are multiple betting counters available, though staffing levels can vary outside of major sports weekends.
During marquee events like the Super Bowl or March Madness, the space becomes much busier. Otherwise, most bettors are here for everyday action across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, global soccer, combat sports, golf, tennis, auto racing and more. Limited printed sheets may still be available for futures and daily odds.
New York-New York also offers complimentary “How to Bet” seminars upon request — for both individuals and groups — making it friendly for first-timers.
Drink comps traditionally require a qualifying sports ticket, and availability may depend on wagering volume. Horseplayers often receive more favorable comp policies.
To wager online in Nevada, bettors must first complete in-person registration at an eligible MGM property on the Strip. Once registered, they can place bets through the BetMGM mobile app on iOS or Android devices. Online wagering is available on all major sporting events, but only while physically located within Nevada state boundaries.
For bettors located outside Nevada, popular offshore options like Bovada are also widely used across the United States. Bovada has been operating for many years and offers a variety of bonuses, competitive odds, and extensive wagering markets.
The sports lines at New York-New York mirror those at the other MGM properties on the Strip, ensuring consistent odds across the network. Just be prepared for a little extra excitement — the Manhattan Express roller coaster occasionally roars overhead, adding a unique burst of energy to the betting environment. If you want to experience it yourself after placing a wager, expect ticket prices to run around the $20+ range depending on the day.

New York-New York sports betting online offers even more wagering options through the BetMGM app, including props and fast-moving in-play wagering where odds shift as the action unfolds. Bettors looking for additional live wagering options will also find in-play markets available through many other Las Vegas sportsbook apps, including Caesars-operated properties such as the Flamingo and Planet Hollywood, where features vary by location.
