| - I'll give it an extra star for the awesome deal they had online. The room was priced better than my other Vegas favorites, and had a $100 food credit. Yup, that works.
Check in on a Friday is a bit of a hot mess. They have a ton of windows open, but there is no real organization, and although the lines for each window look short, you can still wait for well over 20-30 minutes. When we finally got to our representative, he did little to personalize the check in process and was very robotic.
They've done a good job with keeping the rooms modern after all these years. We did have a leaky shower upon check in, but maintenance was quick to send someone and had it fixed in under an hour. At the Cosmopolitan, maintenance service can take all night.
We were placed in the tower far from the lobby, located well past the observatory. The walk seemed like an eternity in 3 inch heels, so plan accordingly. If you want to be close to the action, make sure you ask for the main tower off the casino.
The rooms were a bit larger than expected for a standard room, and that's always a plus. The beds were comfy and the bathroom had all the usual perks. Nothing far superior for Vegas, but still a decent room for the price.
There are plenty of specialized restaurants, a 24 hr cafe with decent food, the Bellagio Buffet is amazing, and a few quick bite eateries that I didn't see or visit. It's definitely not a hotel for kids, so try another hotel if you're planning on bringing the littles.
