I found this interesting Wikipedia quote about the actual "Lever House" in NYC.

"The Lever House was built in 1950–1952 to be the American headquarters of the British soap company Lever Brothers.
It was the pet project of Lever Brothers president Charles Luckman, who had been identified on the cover of Time Magazine as a "Boy Wonder". Luckman would leave the company before the building's completion to achieve a notable architecture career on his own, including the design of Madison Square Garden, the Theme Building and master plan for Los Angeles International Airport, Aon Centre, and initial buildings of the Kennedy Space Center and Johnson Space Center.[6]"

Boiler says "cool cool".

The NYNY casino is one of the most confusing place to get around.
We came in the back door and couldn't find the front exit!
We went to the Shake Shack,just out the doors.

I just read up a little bit on the NYNY Hotel in Wikipedia. They did not include the twin towers of the World Trade Center, because the facade of the hotel is supposed to represent what New York looked like in the 40's.

Sorry, I didn't realize that we were supposed to vote. I like the blue apartments too. The lighting makes them look real. Now bring on the hooker and barf photos.

55 Water St. was built in early 1970s, just about the same time as the Towers.

...The twin towers of the World Trade Center have never been included in the skyscrapers depicted in the resort's facade; it is claimed[13] the facade is meant to represent New York City as it was in the 1940s.

Damn Wikipedia.

It looks like Billy is right. Not only 55 Water Street was built in the early 70's but so was Liberty Plaza.

This came up in the aftermath of 2001. That was their story back then, as well. It just doesn't work as at least four buildings didn't exist in the 1940s, and if they were doing NY in that time period, the Woolworth and Flat Iron buildings should have been used.

Think about if NYNY had included the twin towers as part of their facade. Would they have changed anything after 9/11? I don't think there would be any danger of any crazy person trying something, but you never know.
