| - I've been DREAMING of staying at the Cosmopolitan since it opened. It's a beautiful property that I find so opulent that it kind of makes me feel like I'm playing dress up at a grown up party, but I love it. And then the miraculous happened, Cosmo sent me an offer for two free nights? Shut the Front Door! I immediately booked it.
I knew that I might be setting myself up for disappointment with my high expectations, but I couldn't help it, I was super excited.
Check in was a breeze. There was no line and we were able to check in earlier than the 3pm check in because they had rooms available. We unloaded our luggage at the valet area with the assistance of a bell person. What was a huge disappointment was that the Cosmopolitan apparently has a rule that you cannot bring your own alcohol or coolers into your room.... what? That was a new one on me. We ALWAYS bring a cooler so we can have cold drinks in our room and we always bring some beers with us. Doesn't everyone? So, luckily, the bell person was helpful after explaining that rule and we did end up bringing our cooler with us and some drinks. What was weird is that in the room there is a small kitchenette, including a refrigerator, but of course, it's stocked with items for purchase. HATE THAT. Also, there was a dishwasher in the kitchenette, but nothing to wash in it except a couple of glasses with the bar set and there was a sink, but no towels or bar cloths. Really strange.
The Parking Garage is COOL. ON each floor you can easily see where vacant parking spots are based on what color the light over the parking spot is. LOVED IT. Just be sure you know which tower you're staying in (East or West) so you can park on the right side of the garage!
That said, the room was very nice. The bathroom was gorgeous and huge and the room had a living room with work area (and the aforementioned kitchenette) and then a bedroom area and they were separated by a low wall. Of course there was a small balcony, about 10x4. It was a comfortable room and included robes and slippers - love that. But, while it was a really nice room and very modern and "hip", it really wasn't any more fancy or special than rooms I've stayed in at the Palazzo or the M. Unfortunately, I ended up being sick for my trip so I was very happy to have a comfy bed and pillows and TWO tvs, one in the living area and one in the bedroom area.
I reallllly loved the bathroom amenities; they provide C.O. Bigelow products in the lavender peppermint scent and I liked all of them! There is both a HUGE shower that was WONDERFUL and a bathtub with air jets to give you a Jacuzzi type experience. I used it all! I loved the bathtub and it was the perfect size and shape for me, but I don't know if it would be as wonderful for a taller person. For me, HEAVEN! I wanted to pick up that bathroom and plop it down in my own house!
They have the lighting buttons that allow you to turn everything on or off with one touch, which can be handy and we discovered USB chargers on the television with only regular plugs on the desk. and extra plugs next to each side of the bed, which is appreciated. With your $25/night resort fee, you get WiFi in your room
We only dined in one restaurant, The Holstein Burger place, during our visit due to just being busy with other plans and we visited the Vesper Bar, which I really loved. I was excited to find that due to the ice skating at the Boulevard Pool, they actually had the Hot Tub open up there, so we took advantage of that. We had been told it would be closed, so that was cool. It was COLD outside, but still wonderful in the hot water! That was pretty much the extent of the amenities that we took advantage of during out stay.
Overall, I thought it was a really nice room and I enjoyed my stay there. I'd love to stay there again, but oops... I didn't get a chance to do any gambling there on this trip, so unlikely I'll get another offer and I'm too cheap to pay the prices for these rooms when I can stay at my timeshare across the street!
