Semma New York Reviews from The Last Year
Just an average stay
We've been to Vegas over a dozen times since 2001 staying at different hotels, some good, some not so good. I would say that the New York New York was average. It's location is the best thing about it. You can easily get to other MGM properties if you would like to see other casinos. The rooms are just average, had some problems with our room but our great housekeeper had them resolved the first day!! Another thing, what casino doesn't have a buffet!! Well New York New York doesn't so if you want a buffet you must go next door to the Excalibur or across the street to the MGM Grand. We did go see the Mad Apple, which was okay but not the best Cirque du Soleil show we've seen over the years, and now we've seen them all!
Poor Room and Noisy Neighbors
Our room was located on the west side of the tenth floor. We soon learned that this was over the HVAC fans. Very noisy fan noise all night. We also had noisy neighbors. Their loud drunkenness continued until after 1:30 AM. Hotel staff was slow to respond. We finally checked out at 4:00 AM. Needless to say, we won’t return to NY NY! There are many other better options in Las Vegas.
Fine, smoky and slow elevators
It was fine, too smoky, going to try Park MGM next time. Elevators were broken and slow. Had to ride up to go down. Rooms were clean and large enough. I liked being able to check in and out with my phone. Pool was clean and fun.
Girls Getaway
Overall friendly staff in all aspects of hotel. Nice room accommodations. Plenty to do and see. Lots of eateries and good food with friendly staff. Within walking distance of many attractions. Totally recommend.
Horrible Room
"Upgraded" room from a king bed to two queens. Room had no refrigerator and no microwave. Had to rent a refrigerator for my medications for $25 a night. Close to $300 per night (with all the bullsht taxes and resort fees) for a room worse than a Motel 6. Pathetic!!!!
Nickel and Dime
Beds were comfy, staff very friendly but the reason for the mid score is due to the lack of normal amenities. You have to pay extra for a refrigerator ($10/night) there is also no microwave. Water bottles anywhere in the casino/resort are a minimum of $5.50! All restaurants (anywhere on the strip) are ridiculously over priced. It was my first time on the strip, and full disclosure we got the room for free using points I earned but the way everything else is so jacked up in price the saying “nothing is ever truly free” rings true! The room were got was spacious, and aside from the occasional door slam of the neighbors, we never heard the others around us. Seems the rooms are built with great insulation which is huge for us. We can’t stand hearing the neighbors TV or people walking around like elephants above us. The a/c only goes down to 65, which may sound cold, but the room never actually seemed to get that cool and actually was stuffy. We do like a very cold room, especially after a long day walking around in (hot for us) and weather…I couldn’t imagine being there in the summer. Elevators are slow and always packed. We were on the 14th floor and every time we got on to go down we had to stop several times to pick up more people who could barely fit in. All in all, NYNY is a super fun (albeit slightly dated) resort and now knowing how expensive everything is around there we might opt to stay off strip next time but wouldn’t rule out another stay there.
they are not honest at new york new york
we left an apple watch in the room . we checked out. we found out the apple watch was left in the room and asked if we could retrieve our watch and they said no. security was rude and said "i only have two options for you, fill out the link texted to your phone or forget about the watch" not cool at all. please return our watch. dishonest employees and terrible service by security.
Great Hotel
Arrived at the NYNY early evening and check in was easy & quick. Room was big, clean and ok apart from the view ( a brick wall!) AC was good & quiet. Beds were comfortable as were the pillows. Bathroom was a little dated & Use of the safe was free. No fridge in the room either? Amenities inside the hotel were excellent and it's location to the T-Mobile arena (we had Madonna tickets & it was perfect) . Lifts were fine whilst we stayed & it's location at the beginning of the strip was good. All staff I encountered were helpful & friendly. Resort fee is a total rip off & excessive with no value other than the WiFi imo. Would I stay again? Probably.
Fun Fun Fun
great hotel with tons of things to do, great location, easy walking distance to trams going to Bellagio and Mandalay Bay. easy walking distance to MGM and Miracle mile shops. Gallaghers is an amazing steak house and worth the $$.
Good, but Chris at check in was rude.
Let me start by saying most other employees we dealt with were friendly. As a couple who frequents Las Vegas and have stayed at NYNY before we can both attest to this. Chris at the check in counter was very rude and pointed. He was not friendly right off the bat, and when our room wasn’t ready despite it being 8pm he repeatedly accused us of not putting our credit card in the app, despite my fiancé showing him the card info in the app. Not getting the digital key to was why we were at the check in. He wouldn’t even acknowledge the possibility of it being a mistake. We then asked to merge the rooms, to which we were met with a very sarcastic “oh wow you’re asking for that too”. It seemed as though simple asks were met with some level of resistance. We then asked about getting a room upgrade for the 2nd night there, as we got the first night upgraded on the app. Chris said the next night was $40 for an upgrade, provided no explanation for the price difference that we found on the app, and then immediately downgraded our upgraded room while providing no other options. All in all, Chris’ lack of customer service skills, his accusatory tone and lack of accountability left a sour taste in our mouth staying at NYNY.
Great Stay
Great location! Walking distance to other casinos. Walking distance to the tram to other locations. Lots of restaurants and eateries to choose from throught the casino. Rooms are clean and quiet. Ricky at the front desk takes good care of his customers!
Broken and rundown
Expected much more from a hotel on the strip. Complaints from other guests as well while riding the elevator. 2 of the 6 elevators was working. Room toilet stuck on flushing, dripping tub, old sink fixtures that were misaligned, and long long elevators. Go to somewhere else on the strip, New York New York was the worst one I’ve stayed at and I’ve stayed at 10 other hotels on the strip.
Lively, fun atmosphere! Plenty of places to eat and things to do!
We stayed at New York, New York mostly due to the proximity to T-Mobile Arena for a Knights game. Our room had a great view of the strip and the new Sphere! There are plenty of choices when it comes to eating. Would definitely stay there again.
Unfriendly staff, elevators not working and hot rooms
.only reason we stayed here is because we always stay at Luxor we wanted to experience something new. Never again!, I will always stay At Luxor never had a problem there. Clean, friendly and rooms are nice and cool.
Great value
The overall value is excellent. Great location, helpful staff, conveniently located, great shows, affordable places to eat. The staff was friendly, the electronic key (phone app) checkin was great too.
One Night was Perfect
Solid one night trip! Didn't need much but what I got was perfect. Room was clean and front desk folks were awesome. Everything about the place was easy and efficient and appreciated. The price was great.
I loved the passion fruit pudding! I think it is the
I loved the passion fruit pudding! I think it is the prettiest dessert I've ever eaten. The dosa and lamb both had great flavor. The whole fish was also really delicious, but the lobster didn't have that bouncy texture you get when it's fresh. I have to take off a star for the reservation process that requires $50 per person and for the prices in general.
Finally got reservations here on a Friday night and was
Finally got reservations here on a Friday night and was really looking forward to all the hype. I'm happy to say Semma did not disappoint!!! Our server, Frest, was just incredible with all of his recommendations and lovely banter - we're so grateful he was with us for our first Semma experience! We ordered the thaniyam, paniyaram, poriyal to start, and we're just blown away. Each bite was even better than the last! Our next courses included the dosa, huukosu cauliflower, eral thokku, and we ordered the lamb but it never came. The food was genuinely so delicious, the spices were not overpowering or too spicy, they were perfectly balanced! For our mains we ordered the goat biryani, keen polichatu and the lobster. This was actually my first time eating lobster and I can't believe I hadn't done it sooner. It was perfectly cooked, and the gravy was wonderful! The star of the show really was the biryani though, the goat was so perfectly cooked! I'm soo impressed by this place, I can't wait to come back! Bonus points for 2 clean bathrooms!
Loved !!! Am south indian myself, so was very excited that
Loved !!! Am south indian myself, so was very excited that there is a Michelin star South Indian restaurant to try! Overall a great experience. If you have never had South Indian food, definitely a great ~modern~ introduction into it. If you are South Indian/are familiar with South Indian food, then it's definitely is a bit overpriced for a lot of the flavors you can get at home - but they do it in a very classy, modern, fusion-esque way that I think it's definitely worth experiencing! Also if you eat meat, they have great meat dishes with south indian takes that can be rare to get at other restaurants. Overall ambience was wonderful, drinks were great. I was very bummed they did not have the rasam when I went, but otherwise great experience Gunpowder dosa - 8/10 - super good!!! A great dosa, chutneys were perfectly complementary, and the sambar was wonderful as well. Definitely recommend getting. (Note: if you are Indian and regularly eat dosas, this is like a solid dosa, but nothing out of the ordinary). Eral thokku (tiger prawns) - 9/10 - fire! I definitely recommend getting this - wonderful flavor. I wish more came with one order for the price of it, but very much enjoyed Attu Kari Sukka (lamb) - 7/10 - very good! I thought it was great and flavorful. Went well with paratha and with rice, or on it's own if you prefer that. Had a bit of a kick to it. Meen Pollichathu (sea bass) -10/10 - amazing!!!!! If you enjoy fish, I definitely recommend this dish. While it did have bones, it was still worth it. It has so many wonderful flavors, each bite was different. The fish was cooked great and very soft, vegetables had such great flavor, the sauce/curry was wonderful and rich. Ate it with rice and paratha and it was fabulous! 10/10. + got the Coconut rice, the paratha, and 2 drinks.
Not worth it for vegetarians.
Both curries were very similar. The ambiance also did not feel like fine dining at all.
For a pretty Michelin star restaurant, we found this food
For a pretty Michelin star restaurant, we found this food mediocre and at a hefty price point. It was not worth the hype, nor the expensive price. The vibe had a very inauthentic feel, which was underpinned by the food. I'm surprised this place has a Michelin star--I have dined at multiple Michelin star Indian restaurants, and I don't think it measures up at all. I've never been to an Indian restaurant with so few vegetarian options (only 2). We had the Semma Sour drinks, which were delightful. After, gunpowder dosas. The filling was delicious, but the crepe was oily. The chutneys were salty to the point of being inedible. My duck leg was the best part of the meal (delicious, properly roasted and marinated), but it was soaked in an overly salty curry. At a near $50 price point, I wouldn't say it was appropriately valued. All portions were pretty small considering the price. Additionally, to note, the staff made a mistake with our reservation, so we ended up having to pay a $150 minimum (despite the fact we were seated at a table for two). They couldn't do anything to fix this. I would not recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for good or reasonably priced Indian food. There are many better options in Manhattan.
I am sad to have to give SEMMA such a low rating.
Especially considering that the food there is excellent. This review is based on the fact that we have tried to contact SEMMA multiple times about how we were overcharged and didn't get our refund and never heard back from them. When we booked our reservation at SEMMA, we made it for 3 people and were charged $50/person. We emailed SEMMA a few days before our reservation and explained the third person wouldn't be able to come but we still wished to come and would ensure our bill was at least $150 to cover the 3rd person. The individual said that was fine. When we got our bill at SEMMA we had spent over $300 and they only took off a prepaid amount of $100. We explained the situation to the staff and they told us that in this situation SEMMA would be refunding us the prepaid charge of the third person. We waited a month for the refund but never got it. We have emailed SEMMA multiple times about this and it's now been 4 months (Feb 2024) and after innumerable attempts, they have completely ignored us. It's upsetting as this is more about the principal than the money.
I enjoyed my meal, but it wasn't the earth shattering
I enjoyed my meal, but it wasn't the earth shattering experience that one would think given the difficulty of securing reservations. What we ordered: - Gunpowder dosa - Sprouted mung beans - Banana leaf wrapped whole sea bass - Goanese oxtail - Side of parotta and coconut rice - Passion fruit pudding Be aware that everything is about a 7+ spice level for those who are more spice sensitive. I love spicy foods and can tolerate spice quite a bit, but I found that the spice obliterated my taste buds throughout the meal, so I couldn't enjoy the flavors. My favorites were the gunpower dosa and the oxtail, along with the passion fruit pudding dessert. It is a very, very expensive menu -- which I don't mind paying but the prices didn't quite seem to match up with the portion and ingredients of the dishes. Overall, I'm glad to dine at Semma but it's once and done experience for me.

I'l caveat by mentioning I visited over a year ago - from my recollection, nothing stood out and food was at times overly or unpleasantly spiced (to my taste). Drinks were good though?
Great food, wonderful service, amazing dosa! Also tried the
Great food, wonderful service, amazing dosa! Also tried the lamb and stuffed peppers, which both were good but not for my pallet. We got two desserts, and the passion fruit pudding was to die for. It was SO GOOD, with the balance of tart and sweet with the hint of coconut. Save room for the dessert!!
A fantastic experience.
The food is wonderful and service excellent. Went with Indian friends and they voted it a huge hit.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Any seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low.
