I ushered in Easter this year like any reasonable person would do by spending the weekend in Las Vegas. Despite not being a huge fan of Vegas (or more accurately the “Vegas experience”), I still had a great time at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

Check-in

After getting things sorted out in the hectic valet parking area, we made our way inside the hotel. We arrived close to 2pm on Saturday (on a holiday weekend), so things were very busy in the lobby. Some of the lines for check-in looked like they had about 10 to 15 rows of guests in them.

Luckily, because this hotel is part of the Marriott Autograph Collection, Marriott Platinum and Gold members (along with Identity elites) are given access to the Autograph Lounge. It’s a lounge just to the left of the main entrance that offers you a quiet place to check-in with complimentary coffee. Best of all, there were no other patrons in there when we checked in so it was a breeze.

The staff in the Autograph were exceptionally professional and courteous, which didn’t surprise me given that this was an exclusive check-in for elites.

We originally paid $420 for our Saturday night room, which was a Terrace Studio. However, we were able to utilize our elite status to upgrade to a wrap around suite at the last minute for an additional $200. That wasn’t bad at all considering that the wrap around suite was going for $1,600 that night.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas opened in 2010 making it one of the newest resort and casino complexes on the Strip. The casino has 100,000 square feet of floor space and features about 1500 slots, classic slots and video poker machines. There 83 tables spreading all the Las Vegas casino classic games.

2. Living at the Cosmopolitan resort is definitely incomparable experience. Even if it sounds impossible, the truth is that the hotel has 17 units under private ownership. The units are part of the condominium-hotel ownership program managed by the Grand Hyatt.Famous for luxury and attention to detail, it is known that each Las Vegas.
3. A casino, 5 restaurants, and 6 outdoor pools are all featured at this hotel. Relax with a drink at one of the 5 bars/lounges and get perks like free WiFi. You'll appreciate the 24-hour fitness center, poolside bar.

I just wish that I would have remembered to ask about waving the resort fees.

If you’re not checking in with elite status, you’ll use the main check-in area seen below. I took that photo when things settled down but the lines can get quite long.

We had to wait a little while for our suite to get ready so we hung out at the James Bond inspired Vespa Bar. It’s a stunning bar and it’s so gorgeous that I originally thought it was the famous Chandelier Bar at the Cosmo.

After close to an hour, I got a text message that our room was ready. We were placed on the 39th floor of the Boulevard Tower (the Cosmo is divided into two towers). The towers were formerly known as the West and East Tower but now go by the Chelsea Tower and the Boulevard Tower. The Boulevard Tower is home to most of the bars and restaurants while the Chelsea Tower has more of the business/conference center activities.

The elevators to the Boulevard Tower are tucked away on the left side of the Casino if you’re coming in from the main entrance on the Chelsea side, but the elevator lobby areas are pretty stunning. Just make sure you pay attention to which elevators will take you to your floor — plenty of (often tipsy) folks got on our elevator and later realized they were on the wrong one.

Outside the elevators on the 39th floor there’s a telephone that looks like decoration but it’s actually a working phone with an automated line, which I assumed went to the front desk.

The room

Finally, we made it to our wrap around terrace suite, which blew us away. You can read about my full review of the wrap around terrace suite here.

It’s an extremely spacious room with plenty of seating options if you wanted to have guests over. It’s got a bar and dining areas, large bedroom and two bathrooms that are both equipped with showers. Here are a few shots from the room but read my review for the full picture.

What makes this room so special is the view, or more accurately “the views.” The room has three sliding doors that open up to a long terrace that stretches the entire span of the corner room’s exterior. On the 39th floor we had brilliant views of the Bellagio Fountain, Paris, and other parts of the The Strip. This view greatly enhanced our Vegas experience as it was perfect place to watch the sun go down and the city lights turn on.

This time lapse beautifully captures the transition at sunset.

The Chandelier Bar

Another major attraction at this hotel is the Chandelier Bar. It’s a massive three-story bar ornately designed, with different levels offering their own unique cocktails. It’s by far one of the most visually stunning bars you’ll probably ever see.

If you make it to the bar, you’ll need to try out two drinks. One is the famous “flower drink” which gives your mouth one of the craziest sensations you’ve ever felt. (Even if you don’t drink alcohol, you could still feel this effect with a virgin cocktail.) The second is the fire breathing dragon, which is a unique cocktail that will have you puffing out smoke from your mouth and nose.

There are also a few other bar/lounges you can check out at the hotel. Click here to find out more about those places. In addition to the bar scene, there’s a huge restaurant scene you can read more about here. The more casual restaurants are found on the second level while the more upscale restaurants are located on the third floor. Be prepared to spend money because these places aren’t cheap.

There were so many places there was no way I was going to be able to try them out. However, we did try out Momofuku, which served up some tasty ramen.

We also ate breakfast/brunch at the Wicked Spoon. As Platinum elite members, we were given the 15% discount and entrance to the VIP/priority line which was much shorter than the main line. However, I was not overly pleased with the buffet. Even with our discount factored in, I didn’t feel like the food was worth it. It wasn’t an unpleasant experience, I just didn’t feel the price was justified at ~$32 per person.

Pool and gym facilities

Each tower has its own gym and pool. Although some reports online state that the pools are open to the public, I was told that both pools are only open to hotel guests, which makes sense as they check for your room key when you enter.

I much preferred the pool in the Boulevard Tower located on the 4th floor, open from 8am to 6pm. It’s bigger, prettier, and just looks like it has more going on. This pool is more of an upbeat pool compared to the Chelsea Tower pool (found on the 14th floor) but it still felt like more of a hang-out pool area than a true “MTV Spring Break” party pool area. At least that’s the vibe I got from it.

From just about everywhere in the pool, you’ll have great views of the Vegas skyline.

I was going to snoop around the cabanas and take more photos but I felt one of the staff members shadowing me (I get this sometimes when taking photos with my DSLR at big hotels), so I just played it off and took a quick photo.

There’s a nice shaded area where you can catch sport games on TV and play pool, too.

When I visited the Chelsea Pool later on in the day, it was a mad house. I prefer not to walk around busy pool areas taking photos so I didn’t get any photos of that area. If you’re visiting this place in the summer, you probably want to make it to the pool area early to lock down a spot with one of the day beds or lounge chairs.

The gym

The gym in the Chelsea Tower was very nice. It had tons of different types of equipment, multiple rooms for different types of exercise sessions, and just a beautiful design and decor throughout. This gym is located on the same floor as the pool area (level 14) and is open 5AM to 8PM.

For $15, you can sign up for one of their cardio “boot camp” classes that go for 60 minutes.

If you’re a tennis player you can reserve the tennis courts free of charge and they will also provide you with all of the necessary equipment.

I took a quick look at the gym in the Boulevard Tower located on the 15th floor but didn’t go in because the door said there’s a $25 charge but that it’s included in the resort fee. I didn’t understand why they’d have that price listed on the door if it’s already included in what all guests paid so just to avoid any possible unwanted charge on my room, I didn’t use my room key to get into the gym. Unlike the Chelsea Gym, this one is open 24 hours but it’s less than half the size of the other gym.

The Cosmopolitan casino

The casino at the Cosmo isn’t nearly as big as some of the other casinos. Some like the Aria are twice as big. I preferred to walk over to the Aria to try my hand at Blackjack since I felt the casino environment was a bit more open. And although we didn’t spend much time in either casino, from what I could tell the drink service at the Aria casino was much better than what we got at the Cosmo.

Final word

The Cosmopolitan is an excellent choice for a stay in Vegas if you’re looking to enhance your Vegas experience. The stunning views of the Bellagio Fountains from the terraces are terrific, especially from the wrap around suites. The facilities like the pools and gyms are big and beautifully designed and there’s many different dining options. Add in that this hotel had some solid customer service, and I think this might be my go-to hotel for future Vegas stays.

Owned by The Blackstone Group, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is a resort casino and hotel located on the strip in Las Vegas, NV just south of the Bellagio, north of ARIA Resort & Casino, and directly across the street from Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

Having opened in December of 2010, The Cosmopolitan (commonly referred to as The Cosmo) physically stands over 600 feet tall, consisting of two high-rise towers, the Boulevard Tower and the Chelsea Tower. Inside, the marquee building feature has to be their chandelier hanging from the second floor over the first-floor bar.

The Cosmo is located on the west side of Las Vegas Boulevard, and conveniently offers both valet and self-parking 24 hours a day. The Cosmo posts its valet parking rates on the property, but you can expect to pay between $15-$20, with slight discounts for their Identify Rewards members.

For non-Identify members, self-parking is complimentary for up to one hour and is $10 max for 24 hours. Upon check-out, room keys remain active for self-parking until 11:59 pm on the day of your completed check out.

[table]

Whether you are a serious player or just learning you will surely find a table game that meets your needs as bets range from $10 to $10,000.

Baccarat at The Cosmopolitan

Baccarat is a very popular casino game at almost any brick-and-mortar casino. It is no different at The Cosmopolitan, with up to six tables running just about any time of the day. In general, the minimum bet is $25 and the maximum bet is $10,000.

Blackjack at The Cosmopolitan

If you are looking for a casino that offers favorable rules for blackjack, The Cosmopolitan wouldn’t be our first choice. The casino floor consists mostly of games that pay 6:5, but, there are 24 tables that pay 3:2. The 6:5 games are often are running in the party pit, near the front entrance, but not always. You can count on finding bets between $10-$1,000 on the 6:5 tables.

As for the 3:2 tables, games typically range from $50-$5,000. Limits can drop to $25, however, the casino floor will usually have to be pretty slow for The Cosmo to lower their limit.

The Cosmopolitan Casino Las Vegas

The games are split between six-deck and double deck blackjack. Surrender and doubling down is allowed, but you cannot re-split aces.

Craps at The Cosmopolitan

The Cosmo typically has up to seven craps tables running on their casino floor. With bet limits ranging between $10-$5,000. The craps odds are 3-4-5 times.

Roulette at The Cosmopolitan

Roulette is also available at The Cosmo. You can typically find up to six tables, with bet limits ranging between $15-$500. Single-Zero roulette can be found on The Cosmo’s casino floor as well. Meaning that players receive half of the original wager back on even money bets if zero is called.

Other Table Games at The Cosmopolitan

– Casino War ($15 minimum)
– Let it Ride ($10 minimum)
– High Card Flush ($10 minimum)
– Three Card Poker ($10 minimum)
– Ultimate Texas Hold’em ($15 minimum)

The Cosmopolitan casino floor also offers a host of different table games in addition to the more popular games. While the number of active tables may be smaller relative to say blackjack, you still will be able to find just about any type of game you are looking for. The smaller bet limits also allow amateur or casual players to partake and play without committing to higher minimum bets.

High Limit Room at The Cosmopolitan

In June 2016, The Cosmo unveiled its newly redesigned high limit table games lounge. Located on Level one, off the main casino floor, the high limit lounge offers 17 table games with minimum bets of $100. The games include Baccarat, Blackjack, Mini-Baccarat, and Single-Zero Roulette.

Slots at The Cosmopolitan

There are approximately 1,300 gaming machines on the casino floor at The Cosmopolitan. Most of the slot games are modern and have state-of-the-art technology, and you’ll be sure to find a game that matches your level of play.

Slot games range from branded titles such as The Goonies, The Voice, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy to the classic spinning reel game, Pinball.

On the casino’s main floor you will find The Cosmopolitan’s Instant Rich Zone. Here, every 1,000 slot points earned on the slot machines enables the bonus wheel spin, and each spin can pay up to $500 in Identity Rewards Play. The main caveat is making sure you are using your Identity Rewards card to take advantage of these perks.

Otherwise, on the casino floor, you will find that most slot games have limits between $0.01-$500. Like most casinos on the strip, drink service can be hit or miss. We recommend that you take advantage of ordering your drinks when the cocktail waitress attends to you as it may be awhile until the waitress makes it back around to you.

High Limit Slots at The Cosmopolitan

The high limit slots lounge is one of the better high limit areas on the strip. There are 65 slot games, with possible bets of over $1,000 per spin and jackpots over $1.25 million on a spin.

While the strip payback isn’t as high as casinos off the strip, if you are an Identify Rewards member at the casino you will enjoy some of the better perks and rewards in all of Las Vegas.

Video Poker at The Cosmopolitan

Video poker is available throughout the casino, but the best video poker at Cosmopolitan is in the high limit lounge. There, you will find full pay Jacks or Better at the bar and on 50-play machines. The high limit machines are set at a minimum of $12.50 bet per hand.

The chandelier bar does not have a great video poker payback, but it is considered one of the best video poker bars in Las Vegas. While the pay tables are not 9:6, you still find a good variety of games and can enjoy good cocktails and mixed drinks.

In 2017, The Cosmo tweeted a $400,000 jackpot handpay screen on from a video poker player’s game of 100-hand triple double bonus video poker.

Poker Room at The Cosmopolitan

Unfortunately, there is no poker room at The Cosmopolitan.

Sportsbook at The Cosmopolitan

While The Cosmo’s hotel and casino excel in terms overall, arguably the one area they can improve is their sportsbook. The sportsbook is managed and run by Cantor Gaming, and while it has just about any bet type imaginable, the layout and accessibility aren’t ideal.

For one, the betting board is hard to view unless you are seated at the video poker bar. In general, the location of the book seems out of place and out of touch with the rest of the casino. One nice touch with their sportsbook area is the shuffleboard tables and pool tables, otherwise, we recommend looking into another sportsbook on or off the strip if you are looking for a better atmosphere.

Hotel at The Cosmopolitan

The Cosmo offers 3,027 hotel rooms. Most of the rooms include their own private terrace. The terraces are a great feature as the balconies enable guests to receive fresh air without having to leave their rooms and great views of the strip.

There are several room types at The Cosmo, including the City Room, City Studio, Terrace Studio, Terrace Suite, Executive Suite, Lanai Suite, Reception Suite, Two Bedroom City Suite, Bungalow, and the Penthouse located in The Chelsea Tower. The smallest room option is 460 square feet, while their largest option is up to 3,700 square feet.

When booking a room, definitely consider the resort fee, which is $39.69 per night. That being said you will be able to enjoy amenities such as the fitness center and free WiFi. Depending on what day of the week and time of year you book the room, the price can vary pretty drastically. A City Room during the week can range between $120-$160 per night, but on the weekend it can be up to $600 per night, which is high.

Their mid-tier studios and suites, such as the Terrace Suite, can range anywhere between $160-$600 per night as well, again given what time of year it is and what day. Otherwise, their suites cost between $500-$2,000 per night, and the price for their Bungalow and Penthouse is only obtainable if you contact The Cosmo directly. If you are looking for a good luxury, elegance, and class The Cosmo is a viable option when it comes to hotel choices on the strip. If you are a budget traveler and player, you’ll have to be on the lookout for good deals on rooms, depending on availability and when you are looking to book.

Check-in at The Cosmo is 3pm, however, for a fee of $50 you can request an early check-in which guarantees your room to be ready at 11am. Check-out is 11am for all reservations.

Spa and Fitness Center at The Cosmopolitan

The Sahra Spa & Hammam provides several spa services that soothe, restore and rejuvenate your skin and body. With massages, a steam room, and skin care packages, you will definitely be able to find a spa package that suits your needs. The price range sits somewhere between mid-tier and high-end.

There are fitness centers in both the Chelsea and Boulevard Towers. Between the two of them, you will find consisting of 19 treadmills, 13 elliptical machines, tennis courts, free weights, and personal lockers.

The Chelsea Theatre at The Cosmopolitan

Inside the Chelsea Tower on level two next to Rose. Rabbit. Lie. is The Cosmos’ theatre, The Chelsea. The theatre is a dual level facility that is over 40,000 square feet.

This event and performance space is home to concerts, business meetings, artistic installations, events and more. The main features include grand chandeliers that mirror the aesthetic found throughout the hotel, a lobby bar, private VIP opera boxes, and a grand staircase.

Restaurants & Bars at The Cosmopolitan

The Cosmopolitan offers 18 restaurants and dining options, one Starbucks, and a juice bar which also serves food, The Juice Standard. You can certainly find a good mix of fine dining and casual dining throughout the hotel. The lower end restaurants are priced between $12-$20 per meal before tax and add-ons.

One of our favorite options is The Henry. Located on level one in the Boulevard Tower, The Henry is open 24 hours a day. The menu is American-based cuisine but is sure to have an option for most.

Fine Dining at The Cosmopolitan

There is no shortage of fine dining options at The Cosmopolitan. É By Josè Andrès is a fine dining option serving Spanish cuisine. Only two table settings are made available per night, and reservations typically are made at least three months in advance.

Estiatorio Milos by Costas Spiliadis features Mediterranean cuisine, wine, and flavorful fish-based dishes.

If you are looking for a good steak dinner, head to STK. It is a modern Las Vegas inspired take on a steakhouse, which features an excellent menu with a trendy atmosphere.

Cosmopolitan Casino Careers

Another high-end option inside The Cosmo is Rose. Rabbit. Lie., which serves classic American dishes alongside live music and entertainment.

Bars at The Cosmopolitan

The main lounges and bars inside the hotel include BOND, The Chandelier, CliQue, The Study at Rose, and Vesper Bar. All of these bars and lounges are decked out with beautiful decor and are aesthetically pleasing.

If you are looking for a more laid-back option where you can grab a drink, play video poker and perhaps enjoy people watching or a DJ, BOND is your go-to choice. It is located on the first floor of the Boulevard Tower and is just steps away from the many table games on the casino floor.

And if you are interested in a more sophisticated option, we recommend The Chandelier. It is a magnificent visual wonder that is multi-levels. It features unique cocktails that range in price, but hover around $16 a drink.

Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan

If you are a fan of live DJ’s and dancing, The Cosmo has you covered. Outside experience the Marquee Dayclub and pool, which also features eight private cabanas each with their own infinity plunge pool.

Cosmopolitan Casino Las Vegas Phone Number

During the evening the entertainment shifts inside at the Marquee Nightclub. With bars, a VIP area, and top-tier international artists and DJ’s the nightclub is a viable option if you are looking to enjoy a night out.

Cosmopolitan Casino Las Vegas Nevada

It is best to contact The Cosmo for table prices, but in general, tables inside Las Vegas nightclubs typically run in the thousands of dollars and Marquee should not be any different given the level of talent they book annually. Expect drinks at the bar to a bit pricey, but comparable to other nightclubs found on the strip.
