| - I don't really like Vegas...but I liked The Cosmopolitan.
The good:
The lobby is stunning with amazing changing visuals on large pillars.
Fountain view suites are amazing...views, appointments, etc.
Beds are super comfortable.
Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.
Casino is classy.
Marquee is right in your hotel.
Location can't be beat.
Unfortunately, The Cosmopolitan is not perfect...
Minimal towels. I expect more than two in a one bedroom suite.
One bathrobe. I'm going to venture a guess that there's usually more than one person staying in a suite.
Our room was not available when we arrived. Apparently, they cannot guarantee your room...ever? We had to stay in a standard room on the first night, then pack up our stuff, bring it down to the bell desk, and wait 4 hours for our originally booked suite to be ready. For a hotel of this level, I'd have expected someone to at least arrange for pick up of our luggage and delivery to a new room. That's said, we were given a food/drink credit that helped the frustration slightly.
Come 4am, the lobby bar is prostitution central. I've been to Vegas plenty of times and seen my fair share of prostitutes but the Cosmo was different. A swarm of prostitutes and their pimps invaded the lobby bar. It was so in your face that it was uncomfortable. The four pimps actually had a roster/check list to keep track of who was taken and who wasn't. I'd expect this type of thing to be a little lower key than what we saw...t just seemed super classless. I mean, a hooker checklist? Come on.
All that said, I still rank the Cosmo in at 4 stars, relative to other options on the strip. They could use a few improvements but overall, worth the money.
