This is part of a continuing series of my impressions and experiences staying at various hotels and resorts while traveling to attend concerts worldwide. This stay was during my recent trip to Las Vegas in October I choose a one-night stay at this property exclusively for the purpose of this review.
I am in the process of staying at and reviewing all of the major Las Vegas properties on and around The Strip, and though I have attended several concerts at The Cosmopolitan, I had never stayed here previously.
I had stayed at The Palms the two nights prior , as I was reviewing a Depeche Mode concert there, and had an additional night in Vegas prior to departing to San Diego to shoot and review a Pet Shop Boys concert , so I decided to move from The Palms so I could experience The Cosmopolitan during this extensive, multi-state trip. I knew from shooting and reviewing concerts at The Cosmo that they have vast underground self-parking, so I parked my rental car and made my way up to the front desk to check in.
If anyone has walked through the casino level of the hotel, it is a beautiful property with very high end and elegant decor, and this is carried through into the rooms. One note⦠if you are traveling as a couple or a family, and privacy is a concern, this is not the hotel for you or at least the particular style of room I had. There is a floor to ceiling, door-sized glass window looking in from the bedroom into the bathroom, through the shower.
I was traveling alone, so this made no difference to me, but worth mentioning to those traveling with parties of two or more. In addition to the bathroom with the standing stall shower, there was a stocked mini fridge as well as some food and other things on display above, all pay for use. Below the mounted flatscreen TV across from the bed was a desk area, and over by the window were two chairs. This particular room had a nice view of the Bellagio public water feature down below, which was a nice bonus.
