::::: TERRACE ONE BEDROOM - 4/5 :::::
We were here for a company trip - specifically, for team building and a little competitive analysis (or something), which makes sense for a mobile social gaming start-up.... right?
Beautiful room, though it seems rather small once you've stayed at the Wraparound Terrace Suite. I'd say size-wise and layout-wise, it's comparable to the standard king room at the Encore.
There's a sofa bed in the living room, which makes sharing a room with 2 other people possible. Also, I LOVE the balcony w/the wicker lounger..
::::: WRAPAROUND TERRACE SUITE - 5/5 :::::
The Wraparound Terrace Suite was incredible. I booked it for my birthday trip, which we celebrated the night before (for the countdown to 12am) in a private cabana overlooking the Strip at the Surrender in the Wynn, where Sultan & Ned Shepard were playing.
There's a bar, a sitting area, 2 bathrooms, a gorgeous tub where my husband prepared a bubble bath for me on my birthday, and two wicker loungers outside, one for each side of the L-shaped balcony.
So far, of all the hotels I've stayed at in Vegas, I'd say this is easily my ULTIMATE FAVORITE. But ONLY if you're staying in one of the SUITES & manage to find it for less than $250/night. Based on the candid pictures and descriptions by some of my family, Cosmopolitan's standard City Room looks cramped and basic for Vegas standards.

NOTE: I've always visited any combination of at least 3 of the following places on each Vegas trip I take, regardless of where I was staying at the time.
::::: PLACES WORTH VISITING AT THE COSMOPOLITAN :::::
* CHANDELIER (Lounge)
- My first choice for cocktails, conversation, and general lounging in Las Vegas. On four separate occasions, I was still lounging with a friend until they closed the bar and a little beyond sunrise, after which I move to Vesper downstairs - also delish.
* VESPER (Lounge)
- The gorgeous tall and tan female bartender w/short hair makes a kick-ass custom cocktail that includes Rumchata, Nutella, Coffee, Baileys, and Kahlua. YUM.
* WICKED SPOON (Buffet)
- One of my top 2 buffet picks. Really, this place is unlike any other Las Vegas buffet. They don't only focus on the array of food, but also the quality and flavor in each dish. That's what sets them apart from the many other buffets on the Strip.
* MARQUEE (Club)
- My favorite club in Las Vegas. Lots of great world-famous DJs play here - I've been here to see Gabriel & Dresden. Although I'm accustomed to clubbing in Jakarta, where I've always had a private table and usually a security guard by our table.. well, when I went to Marquee I didn't book a table (since I was in Vegas with only one friend) and still had a good time. It can get very crowded.
* HOLSTEINS (Restaurant)
- Spiked milkshakes! Also, the pork belly buns and billionaire burger.
* THE HENRY (Restaurant)
- Bloody Mary and truffle tater tots..
* SCARPETTA (Restaurant)
- Foie gras ravioli. I mean, really.
