| - Stayed here for three nights during Cinco de Mayo weekend (and Mayweather vs. Guerrero fight). Room prices were jacked up ($1.8K for three nights!!) and almost completely booked, but we managed to snag one with a great view of the strip and Bellagio fountain show (34-49).
The Cosmo is a very nice hotel; modern, chic, and definitely geared towards the 20s and 30s crowd. This is a party hotel, so those looking for a more serene (hah!) experience should stay at the Palazzo or Wynn (also favorites of mine).
Loved the convenience of partying at Marquee Dayclub and Nightclub without having to leave the hotel. Highlight of my stay here was seeing Armin Van Buuren spin at Marquee Dayclub on Saturday, May 4th; he was awesome! I've been to Marquee Nightclub many times and enjoy the ambiance; however, still scratching my head over the seemingly endless stairs women have to trek down in order to exit the place!
Ordered room service for the girls Saturday night and was quoted 1.5 hours, but food arrived within half an hour...pleasant surprise. The spinach dip with crab and buffalo chicken wings arrived hot, and were pretty tasty - the chips were warm and crispy. Didn't try the garden salad, but it looked fresh.
Only restaurant we had a chance to eat at here was China Poblano, and only because it was next to the Marquee Nightclub and we needed to kill time. We ordered several dishes to share, including the twenty-vegetable fried rice, siu mai, Open Sesame noodles, and the "Don't be Jealous" hot and sour soup. Well, I ain't jealous of the hot and sour soup; a lot left to be desired. The Open Sesame noodles were chilled and tasted bland. The siu mai I didn't try, but my friends claimed it was good. The highlight of the meal was the fried rice, yes, fried rice! What made it special was the baby veggies included in the rice, but the rice was pretty flavorful too. The portions were small, but I'd say the $20 spent on the fried rice was worth it. It was a bit distracting trying to eat with Marquee's club music blasting our ears, but hey, part of the "ambiance".
Love, love, love the Chandelier bar, especially the second floor, which serves my favorite drink - the Verbena! It's a tequila based drink, but the special touch is the edible flower bud you eat before you sip your drink. It's like pop-rocks in your mouth, and your mouth becomes numb for a few minutes, but it totally enhances the flavor of the drink! I highly recommend this drink!
Staff we encountered during our stay were professional and accommodating - no complaints. This trip was my first time staying at Cosmo, but I'd definitely stay here again.
