The Big Apple Coaster

The Big Apple Coaster sits inside the New York-New York Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, at 3790 S Las Vegas Blvd. It is a roller coaster and arcade attraction rather than a structured youth program, so it fits families looking for a ride-based stop during a Strip day rather than an ongoing class or camp.

The coaster itself includes drops, twists, and speeds up to 67 mph, based on the venue's own description. Attached to the ride is an arcade with both classic arcade cabinets and virtual reality games, so a visit can stretch beyond the coaster itself if kids want to keep playing after the ride.

The listing sets the recommended age range at 5 to 18, split into brackets of 5 to 12 and 13 to 18. Height and safety requirements for the ride would come from the operator directly rather than from this listing, so taller or shorter riders should check before counting on the coaster specifically. The attraction is open daily from 11:00 AM to midnight, year round, making it one of the later-closing family options on the Strip.

Pricing is recorded in the budget-friendly dollar-sign range, though this listing does not include an exact ticket price, so confirming cost ahead of a visit is worth the extra step. The location is marked accessible, with accessible rides and staff assistance available for guests who need them. English is the language noted for the venue.

For a family already on the Strip near New York-New York, this is a straightforward add-on stop: ride the coaster, then work through the arcade and virtual reality games at whatever pace the kids want. It is not a program that meets on a schedule or builds skills over time, it is a single-visit attraction.
