New plans for Monte Carlo and New York-New York as well as the land between them creates an expanded plaza while bringing new dining options to both sides of a reconfigured Rue de Monte Carlo.

The project's reboot was announced last week. Full details can be read here. Essentially, executives will give the main road leading to Monte Carlo's porte cochere a serpentine twist to add new structures to the south side of Monte Carlo. They've also greatly enlarged a promenade on the north side of New York-New York while providing additional eateries on that side as well.

While six new dining experiences were unveiled last week, it wasn't clear just where they would be placed. We enquired and have learned that Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row and Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar will be built out from the south side of Monte Carlo while Bruxie, Sake Rok, a beer garden and a Robert Mondavi Jr. wine experience will branch off of the north side of New York-New York.

Additional outlets are on the way, but have yet to be announced.

Also, if you watch the YouTube animation of The Park closely, you'll notice that an escalator will be attached to the north side of the New York-New York garage and will spill visitors from that structure directly in front of the 20,000-seat arena which broke ground last week and is expected to be complete in 2016.

Also forthcoming for New York-New York is the opening of Hershey's Chocolate World later this month. Meanwhile, Tom's Urban and Shake Shack are slated to debut in December.

The multi-million dollar transformation taking place to both resorts has already brought Double Barrel Roadhouse, 800 Degrees Pizza, Yusho, BLVD Creamery, and Sambalatte to Monte Carlo while New York-New York has debuted Swatch, Starbucks, Stupidiotic, and I Love NYNY as well as a revamped Brooklyn Bridge.
