| - My boyfriend and I were staying at the Cosmopolitan in mid-August from a Saturday to Wednesday. I know from my research cabanas are expensive on the weekend days which makes sense, but I wanted to try on a weekday. We talked to the concierge and they had to call to get prices, and recommended we go to the pools to see what ambience/vibe we liked better. We picked Boulevard, less crazy than Marquee but more lively/larger than the Bamboo pool. We went to the info desk at Boulevard to inquire about prices for the next day and they gave us a card to call. Interesting. Person on the call was very nice and helpful and we booked for Tuesday.
We loved that the cost of the cabana is all in consumables, and we picked the upper level smaller cabana (just us 2) for 200 (plus tax & gratuities for a total of 261). We had a GREAT server, Laura, super cute, friendly, attentive and seemed to love her job. She was just awesome. Her relief Devin (probably spelling it wrong) was also super sweet, she was similarly attentive and nice.
We had fun racking up $200 in food and drinks, mostly drinks since the heat squashes our appetite. We had breakfast (breakfast sandwiches, an awesome fruit plate with small dish of french vanilla yogurt, regular coffee), and later had the salmon hand rolls (replaced one with tuna) which were great and then blue crab lettuce cups that were pretty good. We also got chips and salsa which they replenished, nice! The drinks were fun, some more sweet than others and there were a few food/drink items we only had half of since we had the 200 to spend, might as well get what you like. We both loved the Tequila Mockingbird (margarita) and Stubborn Mule (moscow mule) drinks.
The cabana itself was perfect for 2 people, maybe 3, but it would have been tight for more. There are two designated lounge chairs in front so that would help spread it out. There is a flat screen TV so we had that on most of the time. A fridge with ice, waters was nice, plus there was a safe just like in the rooms.
In terms of temperature, it would get a little hot as the breeze would shift, but once the spritzer things came on on the two open sides of the cabana that would help. The lounge chairs were nice but often in the sun, and we are both pale and I moved to a more shady area. It was super quiet to they let me use a lounge chair at the cabana next door.
It was a little bit of a trek to the pool, but it was refreshing, definitely more populated with the 20s-30s Vegas crowd, but likely subdued from Marquee.
Totally reserve a cabana on an off-day! It was one of my trip highlights for sure.
