I stayed at the NYNY last year and I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure I'd classify it as romantic. The rooms were a bit on the small side but nicely appointed. There was plenty to do in the casino, lots of variety. FWIW I didn't see many kids in the hotel, despite the arcade and roller coaster. The hotel is at one end of the strip, but we didn't have any trouble getting to any of the other casinos. It just depends what your ultimate goal is - if you want an extremely romantic location or large room, I'm not sure you'll get it at NYNY. But if you want a decent hotel on the strip with plenty of things to see and do, then NYNY is a great choice.
