| - Upscale and pretentious. Me likey!
If staying at a fancy Vegas hotel makes me pretentious, so be it! A little pretentiousness never hurt anybody and you bet I'm gonna brag about the fact that the BF got us a Terrace One Bedroom at the Cosmopolitan! Nevermind the fact that I stayed at the Polo Towers for my last Vegas trip. The Cosmo is a billion steps up. I'm moving up in life ;D
The casino did me right! I sat down at a slot machine and doubled the BF's $5 in my first hit. Cashed out! ...I'm not a big gambler. lol!
The entire design and decor of the room is classy, hip, artsy and sexy. I loved all of the art on the walls, accenting wall paper, the color scheme, light fixtures, and furniture. http://su.pr/1qcmi9 http://su.pr/2WF8IA
One of the unique features about the Terrace One Bedroom is the Japanese Soaking Tub which is AWESOME! The shower is also interesting. There is a glass panel in between the shower and the bedroom. Ok, so it is voyeuristic. I'll let you imagine how playful that could be with the right partner! But there are retractable wooden blinds on the bedroom side if you're shy.
The bed is one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever stayed in. It has an excessive amount of pillows which can be annoying at times but I'd rather have too many pillows than not enough.
Our balcony had a great view facing the Aria, Mandarin Oriental, Planet Hollywood, MGM Signature, Marriott's Grand Chateau, and Polo Towers (lol!). We were on the 53rd floor and could see the pool area below us. Be aware that we could hear the Marquee Nightclub/Dayclub music every night (and sometimes during the day). Even if we closed our sliding glass door, the bass still came through.
One downside about the room is that the mini fridge is stocked full with drinks. It's monitored by this weighted system so if you move it, you get charged. We bought our own drinks across the street from Walgreens but couldn't fit them in the fridge. There is space in the freezer so we ended up freezing our bottled water then defrosting them overnight or during the day while we were out. The kitchenette counter top was also stocked with snacks and goodies monitored by a weighted system. FYI, they charge you if you use the wine bottle opener because we got charged $7.50 for accidentally moving it. But a quick call to the front desk and they removed the charge :)
Also found on the kitchenette counter top's monitored weighted system for your (ahem!) convenience: http://su.pr/8ey6l4
I loved staying at the Cosmo! A big part of me feels that this will spoil me for future Vegas trips. I expect upscale fanciness from now on! :D
Okay, so this place does attract a certain pretentious crowd. In fact, I'd like to end this review with a very douchey situation that happened to us while waiting in the taxi line. It was 7:45pm on a Saturday and the group in front of us looked like they were dressed and ready to hit a club. Maybe a pre-party since it was too early for a club. Anyways, there was about 6 girls in short tight dresses and one guy. Suddenly, the one guy decides that it's too hot in this line and just nonchalantly removes his shirt. HE REMOVES HIS SHIRT!!! Trying too hard to impress these women much??? I had to restrain my laughter as he stood there shirtless while trying to have a normal conversation with these women. They didn't seem all that impressed either ::eye roll:: LOL ;P
