| - The crown for the undisputed king of kings of Las Vegas hotels resides with the Cosmopolitan.
My god, I've never seen a hotel that just mixed everything I've always wanted in the same place.
1. Modern amenities, yet staying classy? Check.
2. A ridiculously fantastic room with an awe-inspiring view? Check.
3. Great service? YEP.
4. Top-class food? Check.
5. Best nightclub in Las Vegas? SUPER CHECK.
It's hard for me to really describe the hotel with regards to the way it looks. Quite simply though, the Cosmo has "IT." Somehow, it combined a ultra contemporary design with the classiness of a Wynn/Encore but amazingly without the overt pretentiousness. Sometimes, I feel like rolling into Wynn or Encore that if I'm not a balla, I really have no business being there. In contrast, even with how nice the Cosmo is, you never feel like the hotel is too good for you at any moment you're in it.
The rooms...yeah, they may be a little overpriced compared to other Vegas hotels. But come on, you in VEGAS son. You come to Vegas, you gotta roll deep as hell and get a room worth rollin deep for. Terrace Suite is...wow. You get what you pay for, I will say as much as that. The hotel's ultra contemporary/modern design carries over into the rooms. What else? TWO bathrooms (very convenient when you have guys/girls staying together). A freaking oven and washer/dryer (yeah, I know the Cosmo was designed for condos originally, but I'm still shocked they kept it around). Two huge HDTVs (not that anyone's staying in the room all day, but hey at least it's nice to have). Oh, and that unfettered view of the Bellagio fountains....yeah, I think you could do worse for views. Quite frankly, you are getting great value for money.
Also love the phones in the room. It seriously makes getting help pretty much as dumbproof as you can get. Every time I called for a request (TV system needed resetting, extra towels, needed maid service), it was promptly answered. Not just that, but they called back to confirm everything went well. That's called giving a damn, and I appreciate it.
Food. All you need to know is STK, Wicked Spoon Buffet, Holstein's, Secret Pizza. All I'll say for now, since I'll drop my knowledge on that later, is that you will not run out of options for cheap food, top-class food, and anything in between. Again, you honestly never feel out of place here because there's always something affordable if you want it.
And Marquee, I'll save the details for my Marquee review. But I will say this: BEST CLUB EVER.
Yeah, I'm never staying anywhere else again if I'm on staying on the Strip.
P.S. I could've upgraded to the Wraparound Terrace Suite for $100 total (for two nights). Kinda wish I did, but I needed to see the smaller version first.
P.P.S. The greatest thing about that phone is the "Lights Off" and "Lights On" options. Lights Off is self-explanatory, and makes my life a HELL of a lot easier. Lights on though? It's great to bomb people in the morning when they're all hungover. :P
P.P.P.S. Do NOT underestimate how clutch it is to be able to WALK TO THE CLUB BECAUSE IT IS IN YOUR HOTEL. This right here probably saves you at LEAST $40-$50 in cab fare, and I don't even know how much of a price you can put on the time saved. Oh, and for whatever (insert reason here) to bounce early? I'd say it's a bit easier to walk back to the room than wait in a massively long line at 4 AM for a cab. And having Secret Pizza in the same hotel that Marquee is at? I mean, this isn't even fair at this point. Just bow down man.
