| - I was here a few months ago when in Vegas for a convention, so I had to check out the hot new casino on the strip. I'll admit, it's an amazing looking casino/hotel! Yet, I got the overall feel of a "bro's on roids along with a touch of douche" vibe here. Definitely targeting a "special" type of clientele for sure.
The Cosmopolitan is so over the top is exudes gaudiness. Walking around I could see they went all out with the wow-factor decor. Huge shiny chandeliers, chic and modern, plenty of restaurants, glitzy and glittering crystals everywhere, beautiful art, amazing staircases, hot bars and clubs, shimmering cocktail lounge, stylish upscale retail shops, you name it! The 'bling" factor is in full effect! It's sexy for sure but seems as it's trying a bit too hard. The younger crowd will eat it up, while the older more established Vegas gambler might be put off if not into this scene.
I did sign up for their players club card but as of now have still not received one mailing or email offer. On top of that the machines were tight. Hardly any cocktail servers were coming around so I could not even get a drink. Played some blackjack and broke even. Typical strip casino gambling experience - LOL!
Maybe I'll come back next visit and spend more time here to get more of a feel of the place. I'd like to stay a few nights and check out the rooms. As I travel to Vegas each year I have been to plenty of casinos, but the Cosmopolitan did not impress me all that much as I am not fooled by glitz and glitter.
