| - My wife and I needed a vacation.
I had been in Florida for two months taking care of my elderly mother. I was ready for a break. I was ready for my wife. And maybe a little kissy-kissy romance.
I flew home and whisked us to the Cosmo, where I had made a week-long reservation. We both have highly stressful jobs, and so this stay-cation could not have come at a better time.
From the moment we sent our car off with the valet to the second we walked up to the check-in desk to the second we left, the entire staff at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas was first-rate.
We booked a Terrace Suite (I HIGHLY recommend it if you have the means), and the view from five hundred feet above the Strip is worth every last penny.
From the spa (you HAVE to get the fifty-minute massage) to the pools to the first-rate restaurants (for various budgets; Eggslut is a must if you're on a budget) to the gaming floor, the Cosmo blows all other resorts away. The decor is fresh, the staff is young, the atmosphere is youthful and energized.
Best resort on the Strip for those in your twenties, thirties, and forties.
And, as an added bonus, it turns out that the Cosmo has one of the most generous membership rewards programs on the Strip. You get five points for each dollar you spend on the property--either at the shops, restaurants, spa, bars, etc.
We already have a free night's stay coming our way after just a few days at the Cosmo, and we'll definitely use that free suite night later this fall when we need a little romance again.
The entire resort is designed to look and feel youthful . . . and for a couple in our early forties, the excitement and energy of the Cosmo makes these two old farts think we can still hang with the cool kids. Seriously, though, the entire resort staff is youthful, helpful, happy, and endlessly helpful.
The single best Strip experience Jeanine and I have had in living here for a decade.
We'll be back again and again and again. The Cosmo is now our own personal desert oasis.
