| - One of the best locations on the strip, it sits next door to Bellagio. They really try hard to capture the essence of Vegas by theming up the place with modernized looks from the 60's and their James Bond themed bars. There are actually 2 Bond bars, the Vesper Bar and the James Bond Bar itself. They also have their famous Chanelier Bar, with a gi-normous chandelier hanging down 3 entire floors with bars built around them. It's really a beautifully designed casino inside, the public area's lounges and walkways have a sleek, colorful design that remind me of the 1960's but touched up to look modern. There are several restaurants on the top floor that are impressive (Holsteins Burger joint has foie gras burgers!) including STK, Rose Rabbit Lie and the hidden pizza joint. Their main attraction, though, is the Wicked Spoon which is my favorite buffet place.
I've stayed here twice now, the first time on a Tues I upgraded to a suite and it was incredible! The room was entirely automated with 2 bathrooms and a jacuzzi bath in the master, the room controlled by the TV (temperature, lights, music) as well as washing machine and a view of the Bellagio fountains on the patio, so you can here the music in the open air as well. The 2nd time was a standard room, which was still really nice but nothing as exceptional as the suite. It had a view of the fountains but didn't open so you couldn't hear.
The Cosmopolitan is a fun place to stay and it's one of the best places on the Strip. Restaurants and bars are cool, you really feel like you're in old time Vegas here, one of the best places to impress that special someone.
