“Great value for money and an excellent location right in the heart of the Strip! We booked a spacious room with amazing views of the Bellagio fountains and even had a large bathtub overlooking the view. The bed was big and comfortable, and the room also had a separate living area. Definitely worth the price! The hotel is centrally located, with easy access to everything. We also received a $100 daily food and beverage credit, which was a nice bonus, alth…”
“I really wanted to like The Cosmopolitan, but after staying for three nights, I don’t think I would recommend it—especially if getting a good night’s sleep matters to you. The biggest issue for us was the room itself. The bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable, and the linens felt surprisingly rough and scratchy for a hotel at this price point.

“Easily my favorite hotel on the strip. The room was gorgeous, the staff were great, and the location/view is amazing. Would definitely recommend the fountain terrace suites. Made the trip extra memorable as the terrace was the perfect place for our proposal. We will definitely be back!”

You could eat, shop, gamble, meander and maybe hit the pool, all in one weekend, and never need to leave the property. Zuma, little Donkey, Amaya and Eggslut were all outstanding parts of our visit to the Cosmo this week. Over the years I've also hit momofuku, Milk Bar, the Chandelier, C…”
“Overall, I think The Cosmopolitan is a great hotel, especially because of its prime location on the Las Vegas Strip. Many of the rooms offer stunning views of the Bellagio fountains, which is definitely a highlight. The hotel also has a great vibe, with a lively and stylish atmosphere. The main downside, however, is that the rooms are starting to show their age. They are not necessarily outdated, but the design and furnishings no longer feel as fresh or m…”
