I really didn't know what to expect from this place. Honestly, I thought their commercials were a little creepy and trying too hard. So I was pleasantly surprised when I first visited the place and explored the different levels. Ever since that first visit, the Cosmopolitan has kept me coming back for more.
There's a different feel to this place compared to most hotel/casinos here. I feel like they were targeting my age group (the 20-30-somethings), a younger crowd than the usual Strip population. Whether or not it was on purpose, that is what the Cosmopolitan has become.
The other thing I like about this place: I feel like I can just hang out there. And I don't feel that way about any other place on the strip. If I do make my way onto the Strip, it's for a reason (usually eating or shopping). But the numerous bars always make me consider the Cosmopolitan as a weekend option.
One more reason to love this place: Parking. Their parking garages are pretty easy to access without having to spend too much time on Las Vegas Blvd. They've also made it easy to find a parking spot with red (occupied) and green (open) lights above each space. And I don't know if it's just my luck, but their valet parking is never full. Even on a weekend or holiday. These things are what make this local come back.
