The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

A few reasons I really like the Cosmo include: very stylish and comfortable rooms, great location, diverse food options from cheap/casual to high dining, and fun pool. I also think this hotel has one of the nicer casinos ... not too big and not too small. One big downside (as is the case will almost all hotels on the strip), NO COFFEE IN THE ROOM. I really would pay more to have this option and would give five stars if a single strip hotel would do this ... taking an elevator dozens of floors and walking a maze to get to coffee shop is no acceptable. :)

My partner and I come to The Cosmo four times a year, every year, and for very good reason: No other luxury hotel provides such a richly-fulfilling, consistently glamorous experience from end to end, all the way through. (Oh, and it is the only hotel on the Las Vegas Strip with balcony'd standard rooms.) While some folks prefer guest rooms that overlook The Bellagio fountains, I recommend requesting a high-floor room, facing south, or toward the airport. You'll get sun all day, a better sunset experience (see my image attached), and incomparable views down The Strip with the Veer Towers, Waldorf Astoria, Aria, Park MGM, and New York, New York all in plain view. Don't forget that The Cosmo has two fitness centers—a 24-hour mini-gym in the Boulevard Tower and a staffed full-size gym in the Chelsea Tower. The world-class restaurant collection at The Cosmo is unparalleled, and this visit, our standout culinary experiences were had at Zuma, Blue Ribbon, and—you can't skip this upscale buffet—Wicked Spoon. We visited the Sahra Spa this trip but only to purchase some of their luxury skin products. (A visit to the hammam proper is on the list for next time.) A note: Vesper Bar is closed for the next month or two for renovations, but if the redesign of Bond Bar into The Barbershop is any indication, the new concept will surpass the former. It is quite remarkable that The Cosmo only seems to get cooler and more hip as it grows older. 2020 will be year ten for the resort, and it has never been a more fabulous, magical place. The right side of wrong, indeed.

Just returned from a 5 night break here. I was part of a group booking and everyone loved the hotel. Had a one bedroom terrace suite which was beautiful. Very clean. Toiletries replenished every day. Iron and board in room. Bed very comfy. Check in was quick and easy and the staff very friendly. Ate at Pok Pot and was delicious. There is a Starbucks for your morning drink, but can get very busy. Walk way direct to miracle mile mall opposite where there is a Wallgreens and lots of reasonable places to shop, eat and drink. Always taxis around or if you prefer Uber, they are always quick to arrive. Hired a car, but a lot cheaper to collect from Tropicana hotel which was easy. Taxi to airport about $20. Taxi to north outlet was about $15. Would definitely return!

Great hotel in a central position along the strip. Would of given 5/5 but hotel does not include bottle water or coffee in resort charge. However, small coffee shop on ground floor next to casino gave free Americano refills if you kept your receipt. Really nice pastries served there too. Plenty of restaurants and bars in hotel. If I go again would definitely stay here. If you want a view of the Bellagio fountains stay in Chelsea Tower in an odd numbered room.

The hotel was not the standard I expected. It isn’t Vegas style. Rooms are nice but not over the top. WiFi in the rooms is 1-2 bars at the most. So it is slow. Not just my room but the other two rooms we have for family it is the same strength. iPads in the rooms. For what purpose ? You can turn lights on and off with it. Big deal. You can see the temp of the room and adjust, big deal, the thermostat is on the wall. You can see the room service menu but you still have to call and place the order. No ordering from the iPad. So it is a waste of expense and useless. Pool was nice, service a bit slow. Overall this hotel is better than some on the strip but to me other than the balcony it doesn’t have much going for it.
