Checking In With The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
If Las Vegas is a playground for adults, then Sin City needs an abundance of nurseries for all of the gamblers, partiers and tourists to rest in at night. So if you think Las Vegas couldn’t handle another luxury hotel, then think again—Vegas is a city of excess. The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, set to open its doors December 15, 2010, promises to dazzle its guests with a truly unique Vegas experience, even for those who think they’ve exhausted the city’s possibilities. So let’s take a sneak peak behind the hype and see what The Cosmopolitan really has to offer.
The Basics
Located at the heart of the Strip between Bellagio and CityCenter, The Cosmopolitan is a 2,995-room resort with 50-story East and West towers. The hotel, which is situated on 8.7 acres of land, has views of the Las Vegas skyline that’ll make your head spin faster than a roulette ball. With a gamut of noteworthy interior architects such as Jeffrey Beers, who designed The Cove Atlantis, and David Rockwell, the brains behind the Kodak Theatre, there’s no questioning the assertions that The Cosmopolitan is visually stunning. It was recently announced that The Cosmopolitan partnered with Marriot International’s Autograph Collection, integrating the new property into Marriot’s collection of elite hotels that set the standards for luxury and style—not a bad endorsement.
The Rooms
Oversized, residential-style accommodations get as spacious as 5,400 square feet, not including the 10 three-story bungalow-style suites. Many of the rooms offer private terraces, kitchenettes complete with a microwave and a refrigerator, and a separate living room, so guests can enjoy the comfort of complete privacy. All rooms offer wireless Internet access, plasma-screen TVs and luxurious marble bathrooms — some even boasting a Japanese soaking tub. Special amenities aside, even a stay in the affordable room City Room is bound to be a decadent Las Vegas experience.
Entertainment
If you’re looking to get lucky in Vegas, the hotel’s 100,000 square foot casino offers state-of-the-art gaming technology and glass walls—a far cry from the stereotypical Vegas casino where you can’t tell what time of day it is. The Cosmopolitan is also introducing the first-ever Casino Cabanas. And in true Vegas tradition, an epic pool is a must for every luxury resort. The Cosmopolitan has three to choose from: the Boulevard Pool, which overlooks the strip; the Bamboo Pool, which offers a more private swimming experience; and the Day Club Pool, which has a lounge feeling during the day and doubles as a nightclub when the sun goes down.
Indulge
Las Vegas is known for its culinary prowess, and The Cosmopolitan isn’t sparing a dime when it comes to satisfying the palates of its hungry guests. With currently 12 restaurants to choose from, guests will be able to feast on a wide array of dishes created by some of the country’s most celebrated chefs and restaurant brands, including sushi from Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill, Chinese and Mexican fusion from China Poblano, and tapas from Jaleo. After your meal, you won’t have to travel far for an authentic Vegas nightlife experience. Whether you prefer a low-key night of drinks at the elegant Vesper Bar, watching the game with local sports-bar enthusiasts at Book & Stage, sipping trendy cocktails at The Chandelier or dancing to house music at Bond, The Cosmopolitan has somewhere for all of its guests to let loose.
