Take notice Vegas, this is how a hotel is supposed to be. I have only been absent from this place for 3 days now but I am so ready to head back. I stayed here for 5 nights and 4 days and enjoyed every minute of it. We arrived here on at Thursday afternoon and were originally dismayed when they said our rooms were not ready and that we would have to wait. This isn't exactly the thing you want to hear after traveling 2000+ miles but the situation was quickly corrected after our check in lady talked to management. Not only did they get us room upgrades but they were able to get me and my friend rooms on the same floor. Score!! Ronnie our check in lady was also gave us the lowdown on the hotel and told us the best places to eat and shop. First and foremost everything in this place is absolutely stunning (of course its new but its much more than just that). No expense was spared in design or materials. Jesus, they even hired a world famous graffiti artist to spray paint the walls in the parking garage. \n\nThe room was tastefully decorated, comfortable, and spacious. They have kitchenettes which include microwave, fridge (stocked with ultra expensive goodies but still enough room to store some private items), coffee maker, and a sink. They also have a dishwasher and not sure what you would need that for even though one of my lascivious friends told me that sometimes people stick their sexy toys in there. The room has a freaky vibe since anyone in the Japanese soaking tub could be seen from the bedroom due to carefully placed window. The also have a window in the bedroom that opens up to view the shower. The lesson here is to not take any of your horny friends to the Cosmo (they also have a pleasure kit in the room which probably costs $50 and includes some intimate items that could make your night a good one). Ok this sex stuff caused me to digress. The bathroom is very large with nice toiletries. The closet is also huge. The bed was very comfortable but the pillows weren't firm enough. Other high points:\n\nBars/Lounges - the place to be right now in Las Vegas. The crowds tend to be younger and the bartenders here are exquisitely skilled. Every drink I ordered was fantastic. They also don't hold back on the alcohol. Visited The Chandelier a few times and Bond. Didn't make it to Marquee since Benny Benassi and Kaskade were there the weekend I was there and I didn't feel like fighting the crowds. The Chandelier is a nice place to people watch as they pass by all ho'ed up to go to Marquee. \n\nRestaurants - Tons of great places to get food here. We visited Holsteins, The Wicked Spoon, and Pizzeria. The more expensive joints are on the 3rd floor and we didn't make it here even though we had planned too. If you look at all the ratings collectively for the Cosmopolitan restaurants I dare you to find another hotel on the Strip that beats them currently. This place knows how to do good food.\n\nCasino - Small as compared to others on the Strip. Limited selection of machines but everyone playing the tables seemed to be having a good time. Don't go to Cosmopolitan if gambling is your sole reason to stay at a hotel. \n\nConference Rooms - I actually attended a conference here and it was one of the best conference centers I have been in. The AV was top notch. We had catered breakfast from the hotel each morning which was fantastic. Beautiful interior. Can't wait until they offer another conference here.\n\nThe Cosmopolitan clearly has a \"anti-ugly\" hiring policy. Everyone that works there is gorgeous. Hell even the maid staff seems to look like one of the first few contestants knocked off America's Next Top Model. I had to do a double take because I thought the bartender one night was Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd. The staff there were also wired with blue tooth headsets. We called down for toilet paper one night and had it there in 3 minutes. Sydney Bristow couldn't have been that fast. These people don't play when it comes to communication or customer service.\n\nFREE WIFI!! Take note other Vegas hotels. It's fast as hell too.\n\nA few gripes. The pool area is very small. Definitely not equipped to handle the amount of rooms they have. Our room was on the 21st floor of the East Tower but we could clearly hear club beats all night. Had we not been so tired at the end of each day this could have put a serious crimp in my sleep schedule. \n\nI am absolutely in love with this place and will be back. Can't miss if you are planning a trip to Vegas.
