"There are a few reasons why the Cosmo is my favorite hotel if I have to stay on the Strip.\n1) If you stay in the West Tower, you don't have to walk through the casino. You check-in and then the elevator is right behind you. This is a HUGE bonus for me since I'm in town for work and walking through the casino is a drag.\n2) The rooms are modern and comfortable. I feel like one person did the design for Caesar's, Palazzo, and Ventian... so it's nice staying somewhere that is arranged differently.\n3) Beds are SUPER comfortable. Although I hate feather pillows... \n4) The gym on the West Tower (14th floor) is open from 5am until (I think) 8pm. I'm a morning gym-goer and have had no issue getting a machine. The gym is also really clean and the staff is friendly. One downside is that the women's bathroom smelled like someone had died and they'd tried to cover it up with air freshener. (Seriously seemed like a plumbing issue.)\n5) The Cosmo has several fun bars sprinkled through the lobby -- one right by registration and then the Chandelier bar, etc. Again, everyone is friendly and it doesn't reek of cigarette smoke.\n6) The Cosmo has some of my favorite restaurants on the Strip, including HOLSTEIN'S. I love that place."^^ . . . "2"^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ .
