| - I thought the Cosmo and I were really going to click, but sadly it was not meant to be.
There are really only a few positives about staying here. It is in a central location, especially if like us you are seeing a show at Planet Hollywood next door which has great direct access via an elevated walkway. Another is that there are some really unique places to eat/drink here, even if they are few and far between. Holsteins has monster shakes, The Chandelier bar has the famous mouth numbing Verbana cocktail (hidden menu item!), and Eggslut for breakfast! And lastly, but most importantly, the rooms are out of this world. We had the One Bedroom Terrace with a Fountain View. The room was huge with a seperate sitting area, large bathroom with a jacuzzi, and a huge terrace that overlooked the entire strip. I loved that it came with robes which not all Vegas hotels do, and the housekeeping were really great with any requests we had for extra shampoo, etc. We were at the 59th floor and I dare you to find me a better, more elevated, unobstructed view of the strip at any other hotel. It doesn't get much better!
The room very nearly made me want to give this hotel a great rating but there were too many pesky little negatives that kept bringing down my opinion of this hotel compared to others. While I loved the restaurants, I wish there were a bit more quick options like Eggslut. Sometimes you don't have a reservation so you can't visit the restaurants on level 3, and you don't want a sit down place like Holsteins. I also was not a fan of the crowd at this hotel. We had to pass by club Marquee a lot to get to the elevators for our room because most of the things we did were on level 2. You get a very messy, drunk, loud gathering of people at all hours around there and there are no security guards by the elevators so anyone can just follow you up. There were a lot of trashed women making a bee line for the bathroom to hurl and a lot of loud drunk men that made the walk to our room just gross. There was also a constant reek of Marajuana on our balcony. Smoke all you want, especially in a common area like the Casino, just not by me and my private room. The fart smell from the joint totally ruins the ambiance.
My husband and I have stayed at 5 hotels along the strip at this point including the Cosmo and all of them being 4 Star or higher establishments. I thought for the price and the look of this place this would top them all, but sadly it has some weaknesses. The staff were super nice and the room was unforgettable. However my husband and I found ourselves constantly wanting to walk to other hotels to spend our time eating, gambling, etc instead of staying on our property. I think that says it all.
