From the moment you walk in the door to check-in, you can sense this place is unique. Located right at the center of the Strip, the Cosmopolitan is downright swanky, but in a hip, cool way that you wonât find stuffy or intimidating. Here is a full Cosmopolitan Las Vegas review.
Cosmopolitan Las Vegas Review
For a long time, Las Vegas wavered between trying to be a family destination and a grown-ups only haven. The latter finally won out. As a result, almost all the resorts built in the last decade reflect that Sin City persona.
Opened in 2010, the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas â with its âjust the right amount of wrongâ adage â fits the bill completely. Kid-friendly it is not. And thatâs just what we were looking for on our recent girls weekend in Vegas!
The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas Hotel is all about style and fun. Of course an ample casino at the Cosmopolitan, and more than its fair share of bars and lounges. Separated from the casino on the floors above, youâll find an array of chic shops and restaurants, including one of the best buffets on the Strip – Wicked Spoon.
In total, the Cosmopolitan boasts 13 restaurants. Almost all are upscale, international, Chef-inspired stand-outs.
But it is the resortâs avant-garde approach to artwork that truly sets it apart. From the modern art commissioned to decorate the walls of the parking garage (yes, the parking garage!) to the digital and ever-changing art transforming on huge LCD monitors in the hotel lobby and elevators, what adorns the walls at the Cosmopolitan is unlike anything youâve even seen before.
Maybe seen is not the right word; experienced is more appropriate. The artwork here appeals to multiple senses. Like the 6-foot tall red fiber glass sculpture of a stiletto high heeled shoe, or the three-story tall crystal chandelier. Or even the surprisingly fun black & white wall paper inside the hotel room closets.
Three Blissful Pools at the Cosmopolitan
There is a spa, of course, and three pools.
Letâs talk about those pools for a second. Because if you are like me, nothing makes you feel more like rapidly-approaching middle age suburban wife and mom than hanging out by the pool with a bunch of rowdy twenty-somethings. That is where the Cosmopolitan truly shines. For those there to party, there is the Boulevard Pool, a vibrant and unapologetically loud pool complex overlooking the buzz of the Strip.
For the rest of us, there is the Bamboo Pool. Not quite peaceful and serene, but definitely the more secluded of the two spots. Here, guests can enjoy comfy lounge chairs in a lush environment. Perfect for a quiet conversation with your significant other or gal pals, or a blissful afternoon alone with a magazine.
The third pool is the ultracool Marquee Dayclub Pool, which features bungalows and a party deck, and at night transforms into a ritzy poolside night spot.
During the holidays and winter months, the Cosmopolitanâs Boulevard Pool morphs into a family friendly ice skating rink. The rink is small (pool-sized) and not exactly cheap ($15 plus skate rental) but this is truly a unique experience. Where else can you skate several stories up, with a stunning and expansive view of the Las Vegas Strip?

A Room with a View at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas
If a room with a view is important to you, the good news is that itâs hard to get a bad one. My advice is request a room overlooking the Bellagio. You will not only get a fantastic view of the Strip, but also the added bonus of getting to watch the Bellagioâs world-famous fountains.
Some suites come with balconies, a Vegas rarity. If this appeals to you, know youâll pay a premium price for this upgrade. Good deals can be found at the Cosmopolitan, but suites and balcony rooms will always cost a bit more.
The hotel rooms themselves are well-appointed and super comfortable, with Marriott’s famous beds and and plenty of deluxe bathroom amenities.
Traveling with your kids is always a blast, but when a girlâs just gotta get away, the Cosmopolitan wonât leave you disappointed.
