Review
Opened in December 2010, The Cosmopolitan is one of the newer properties on the Las Vegas Strip. Ideally situated in the center of the Strip next door to the iconic Bellagio, the Cosmo may lack the famous fountain but features its own Vegas-worthy spectacle - a three-story chandelier at the heart of the hotel, and three separate bars built within it.
There’s no bad room at the Cosmopolitan, but the suites, bungalows, and penthouse provide some of the most unique accommodations for contemporary jetsetters. The best of the bungalows and penthouses have multi-level rooms, private patios with Jacuzzis, butler service, and outdoor kitchenettes perfect for entertaining.
Although The Cosmopolitan lacks a Cirque du Soleil show like many of the other resorts, it provides a unique musical lineup. Look for performances from big name Grammy Award-winning performers like Bruno Mars to indie bands, who perform at The Boulevard Pool and The Chelsea, an intimate (by Vegas standards) theater inspired by historic glass factories and built with vintage industrial materials.
In addition to a music acts, The Cosmopolitan features some of the best dining on the Strip. José Andrés’ only Las Vegas outposts (China Poblano and Jaleo) are here. Other top restaurants include Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill, David Myers’ Comme Ca, Scott Conant’s D.O.C.G. and Scarpetta, and the Rose. Rabbit. Lie. Marquee, one of the city’s hottest nightclubs, is a plus for guests who prefer to keep the after party on property. Be sure to check out the beach club during warmer months to see what the day party trend of the last couple years is really all about.
Who Should Stay
The Cosmopolitan is the ideal setting for foodies and fashion/music forward visitors looking for modern, luxurious accommodations and instant access to “the place to be”.
