| - I was fortunate enough to stay with friends here Super Bowl weekend when one of them had a comp'd room. Been to the Cosmopolitan for a night at Marquee a couple of times but this was my first time staying in the hotel. I really like the look & decor of the Cosmo. I don't know how to describe it except that it can fit right in South Beach with its styling and feel... Is 'modern-grand' a term?? It's a damn pretty hotel. From the artwork scattered around the hotel, the shops, the casino itself, the random sitting areas, the pool table anyone can use upstairs, the pools, the vending machines that dispense little 'tile or block' works of art... down to the people that choose to gamble and party here. It's definitely a good look.
And let's face it... Marquee is the spot to party at in Vegas these days. Wow... Great times there. I have no complaints at all. But i can't go into too much detail either... HA!
The room was nice. We had a clear view of the Bellagio water fountain from our windows. The beds were comf, the pillows were plump, the amenities very well thought out and some just seemed random. For ex: colored pencils on the desk. I did like the many electrical outlets on the desk itself. Vegas hotels seem to hide electrical outlets or seem to furnish their rooms with the bare minimum. The bathroom was nice. Dark woods, black marble & chrome. Two sinks, nice robes & towels provided, separate toilet area for privacy to handle bidness, awesome water pressure from the overhead rain shower... See through stand-up shower must be made for some Vegas deviousness. You gotta see it... Had to take a pic of it. I wasn't mad at that.
Lobby area near check-in was very dramatic with the ever changing display panels that line the columns. I really liked that... A modern but artistic touch.
Cant forget to to talk about the valet... Despite being a busy hotel, the amount of time waiting for our car to be retrieved was not bad at all. Cushy seating while you wait... Take the escalator down at the back entrance so it's away from the chaos that is the taxi drop off & pick up area.
I like the Cosmopolitan. I'd stay there again for sure... Hopefully we'll get a terrace suite next time. Only hotel rooms in Vegas with them. Niiice.
