| - Saw Morrissey here. Some physical layout issues hamper access, but once you make your way up to the Chelsea Ballroom, things can be pretty good. Getting there (with your tickets) is a challenge. Bring some comfy shoes, cause you'll need them. I think that probably applies to the http://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/ itself, too. Long hallways, different elevator banks, a bit of confusion. Plus, WILL CALL tickets are to be picked up back on the FIRST FLOOR, FYI, near one of the bars. Makes no sense -- and we didn't know this ahead of time, either.
Then, there is ONE place for bathrooms for the Chelsea Ballroom, and it's pretty much where you enter the check-in area. This is not that close to the Ballroom. Woe to the soul who treks off in the middle of a show to visit the loo, as you will no doubt miss some highlights. What seems like three blocks away for restrooms is a big reason for three stars.
The room itself, and the show itself came off great. The sound is excellent, clear and clean. Maybe it's from where we were standing, and is likely also due to the mix-master of this particular show, but it did sound, and look, what I would hope for.
Would definitely see other shows here. I would just not consume any liquids for 3 hours beforehand!
