PUBLIC RATING VS. VIP TABLE REALITY
Drop specifically at "New York-New York Main Valet / Toshiba Plaza Entrance" (2m walk) and compare walk-in / standard seats against Front-Ring Dueling Piano Table (4–8 Guests) ($250+).
Michael Tucker ★ · 3 weeks ago“My wife and I love dueling pianos/piano bars. This was not that. It was extortion. I know... it's Vegas... but still. Your song likely won't get played unless you pay $50 and when it does get played they will intentionally change the style/lyrics/etc. until it's barely recognizable. I guess they think that is entertaining? The "best" part is when they spend ”
Erika Avina ★★★★★ · a year ago“This place was my favorite spot from all at the New York New York! The vibe was so cool, chill and you can stand by the bar and pay $5 per person or sit and pay $20 I believe per person. All the music and requests were on point and the pianists make it so fun! Drinks were good, not great, just good but the ambiance is amazing.”
