New York - New York Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas is adding Tom's Urban and Shake Shack to its new pedestrian plaza in December 2014.
The restaurants will take the space currently occupied by The Sporting House (closing June 3), and join recently opened retail outlets Swatch, Stupidiotic, I Love NYNY and Starbucks, as well as Hershey's Chocolate World, which is opening this spring. The plaza is anchored by the property's famed Brooklyn Bridge.
"There has never been a more exciting time at New York-New York," said Cynthia Kiser Murphey, the hotel's president and COO. "With the opening of our new plaza, we have created an engaging pedestrian environment with the striking backdrop of the New York-New York skyline and know that Tom's Urban and Shake Shack will bring the fun experience and fantastic flavors our guests love."
With patios overlooking both MGM Resorts International's upcoming park and entertainment district as well as New York-New York's iconic Brooklyn Bridge, the new location will be Shake Shack's first in the Western United States.
