text: Where do I begin with how beautiful and shiny this hotel isnnFrom the shuttle ride in we approach COSMOPOLITAN in big shiny letters across the wall of the main entrance outside the hotel lobby When we get out we are approached by bellmen inquiring if we need help with our bags we decline and continue in Take a breath we are inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas OMG Ever changing displays on the pillars of the hotel lobby What a way to welcome guests such as ourselves nnChecking in was a breeze Barely a wait could be because it was during off season but it was fine by me The deal I booked apparently came with resort credit and by coincidence we were offered the Eastside Tower upgrade for additional a night Yes please I already knew what the Eastside was about And it basically paid for itself with the resort credit Wonderful So far oh so good nnSince the hotel lobby is in the very back of the hotel we walked to the front or strip side to the Eastside Tower elevators Pass The Chandelier bar and all that hanging string of shininess Love the decor stylish ceiling tiles interesting artwork and upholstered elevator walls Mirrors everywhere so you can check yourself and make sure you are looking just as good as this hotel Secured access to the rooms as you need to insert your room key in order to push your floor button was our lucky number nnWe look at each other know its the right moment Wow This is really happening Door opens he hears nothing but OMG OMG OMG as I walk through our terrace studio admiring every inch of this place Full length mirror adorned on the sliding bathroom door Big jetted tub perfect for my nightly bubble baths Oh and its normal for the jets to turn on by itself after use Huge shower for two or maybe four My fav dual vanity sinks Comfy living area with interesting books on the table Cool the would be area rug is like a built in Interesting wallpaper everywhere Desk with leather drawers Kitchenette with a freezer that actually works and a microwave King size bed with down pillows and a cute storage chest in front of it Closet with two luggage stands no need to flip a coin And censored so in case you leave the door open the lights automatically turn off within a few minutes and back on if you move near it Cute desk and mini chair perfect for my purse and miscellaneous belongings Flat screen TVs in the bed and living area and you can control room settings from it too And a touch screen phone nnThe main reason I was so excited the balcony Now I know people think why would anyone need a balcony if they are not going to stay in the room for much of the day Well its just nice to have one And if yours happens to face the Bellagio fountains and the rest of the strip you will understand Believe me this was by far the best view from any hotel I have ever stayed at in Vegas There is also a little sitting area and table perfect for late night cocktails or early morning breakfast If it was not so cold we would have eaten our room service breakfast on the balcony Yes there is that much space out therennConvenience This hotel was just so convenient If you do stay in the Eastside Tower it is so conveniently located near the doors exiting onto the strip Perfect for those long walks from the Wynn back to our home we called Cosmopolitan for days Food options everywhere nnDo I need to say more If you are not convinced that this is the place to stay I do not know what more to say This is my new favorite hotel on the strip and I cannot wait to go back I feel the same about you Cosmopolitan I am me after all
