What you should know about America.
America is best known for serving as the flagship American restaurant inside New York-New York Hotel & Casino, which opened on January 3, 1997 as MGM Resorts' New York-inspired destination on the Las Vegas Strip, with the restaurant becoming one of the property's signature all-day dining venues. The dining room is distinguished by a suspended 120-foot topographical map of the United States, recognized as one of the largest suspended maps in the country, while the restaurant accommodates up to 350 guests beneath a design celebrating the geography and regional culinary traditions of the United States. America developed its menu around regional American specialties spanning breakfast, burgers, steaks, seafood, sandwiches, salads, and desserts, pairing coast-to-coast cuisine with an extensive selection of domestic wines, beers, and cocktails while maintaining round-the-clock service on weekends within one of the Strip's busiest resort corridors. Its distinctive architectural centerpiece, large-capacity dining room, longstanding presence within New York-New York, and celebration of American regional cooking have established America among the resort's defining culinary destinations.
Perfectly grilled steaks, fluffy buttermilk pancakes, crisp bacon, towering burgers, fresh seafood, house-made desserts, and aromatic coffee establish a culinary character rooted in the diversity of American regional cooking. Comfort-food classics, hearty breakfasts, handcrafted sandwiches, refreshing salads, and carefully prepared entrées deepen that foundation through familiar flavors, generous portions, and balanced preparation that appeals throughout the day. Careful grilling, attentive service, consistent execution, and thoughtfully prepared regional specialties preserve the integrity of every dish while allowing the breadth of American cuisine to remain the defining focus. Together, coast-to-coast culinary traditions, welcoming hospitality, dramatic surroundings, and consistently polished execution create a dining character defined by variety, comfort, and enduring appeal.
