| - My review is based solely on my experience from seeing the Robyn show here at The Boulevard Pool @ The Cosmopolitan this past Thursday.
That being said, this hotel is absolutely beautiful. When you first walk in, you can't help but notice the three story tall chandellier. It's stunning. But what's different about this one is the lounge that the chandellier is built around. What an excellent concept.
As we made our way around the hotel, we were looking at the various pieces of art. Tastefully chosen and placed around the hotel.
We were trying to figure out how to get to the Will Call for our tickets. We found the first person that seemed available and asked. He directed us to the escalator.
When we approached the escalator, we were told that it was unfortunately closed. This was because it was direct access up to the pool and the concert entrance was in a different place. So we had to trek across the hotel, down some hallways, up an an elevator and then to one of MANY ballroom areas, where we found their "box office".
Normally I would have been frustrated that we had to trek all over the hotel. However, having never been there and the place being brand new, it was nice to see the different parts.
Once we were finally granted entrance in to the pool area, I was impressed. It wasn't anything overly extravagant like some of the pools, but it was definitely an inviting atmosphere. For shows, they drain the ankle deep pool, and in the 3 ft section they place a riser to make the elevations of the GA floor a little more even. The stage was a little high, but what's great about that is that, no matter where you were standing, you had an excellent view of the performer(s).
The reason they call it The Boulevard pool is becuase it's on the top corner of the 4th floor on that part of the hotel and it overlooks Las Vegas Blvd. You have an excellent view of the entire strip.
There were several bars to choose from. After getting a drink at one of their permanent bars, we tried to scope out where the best place to refill our drinks would be, as they have satellite bars like most hotels. We decided on the one near where we were standing and inquired with the bartender what she had available. When she asked what were drinking we told her Jameson & Ginger. She said she didn't have Jameson. Then she said, "Are you going to be in this area most of the night?" We advised her that we likely would be and she said, "I'll get you a bottle of Jameson and some ginger beer". To which we replied, "Then we're yours all night". Later I discovered our bartender, Heather Tool, had ties to my hometown as well as San Diego where we currently live. I was sold. She was definitely our bartender for the night. We never had to wait for a drink and she was always attentive to our needs. At one point we asked if they had cigarettes at the bar and she said no. Her barback or bar assistant overheard the conversation and even went so far as to make a call so the cigarette girl could come upstairs to us so that we could purchase some. In my opinion, that was definitely far above and beyond the call of duty. It may not have been a big deal to them, but it certainly stood out in my opinion.
I really was hoping to have been able to stay here, but unfortunately we weren't able to when making our hotel reservations. One day I'd love to go back and stay here. As long as Heather is our bartender and everyone else gives us the stellar service they did that night. Cheers to you Cosmopolitan, you just gained another fan.
