We went to the Cosmo on a promo for a get away weekend. Self parking is located off a tiny driveway off Las Vegas Blvd. Blink and you'll miss it. The check in desk is located in the WEST tower, and should be labeled as such in the garage. It is a long walk. Check in was smooth. My attendant, Abby, was helpful and sweet. We were upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite with a view. She walked me to bell service and Daemion loaded up our stuff and took us to the room. The hotel has a very upscale, modern feel. Lots of chrome, and highly polished wood. The Chandelier Bar is a great place to sit and watch the action unfold. The crowd seemed to be mostly people int he 25-32 range. And at night, everyone looked good. The Casino weaves throughout the 1st floor, with the occasional bar in between. I did not gamble, so I can review the casino, other than to say the people in there were young and good looking. We were in the East Tower, which is closest to LV Blvd. The room was well designed and beautifully appointed, if you like contemporary design. It has a very modern look, and if you don't like that, you won't like this hotel. I loved it. There was a separate living room with a curved sofa, over-sized coffee table and chair. The kitchenette was small, but had a microwave and dishwasher (to wash what? There were no dishes), along with the Sub-Zero refrigerator/mini bar. NOTE: that space at the bottom on the mini-bar is a FREEZER! it's not a space for you to put your beer. As we discovered the next morning. The bedroom had an incredible view of the strip and overlooked the Bellagio fountain. There was a dressing area that separated the bedroom and living space. The bathroom was huge, with double sinks, a separate toilet room and a Shower/bath room with windows opening into the Master and the deck. The tub was big enough for two, easy. The hotel is located next door to Bellagio, across from Paris and Planet Hollywood. It was easy to get to several hotels on the strip for dining, shopping etc. I enjoyed our stay at the Cosmo and will definetly stay here again.

I would give a ZERO stars if it was an option. During my recent trip to Vegas with family my husband and I planned a trip to lucky strike. We called about a week in advance to see if we could use a free bowling coupon that we had from another location. The hostess said it was fine. When we arrived the same hostess had to speak with the manager on how to put the coupon in the system. It all seemed fine. We were given shoes and a lane. We got all ready and the same manager comes over and says "Oh sorry you can't use the coupon here, but you can stay and bowl for the regular price" Please we walked out and took our money to a different casino. I can see why the place was practically empty when we were in there. I like the Chicago locations much better

On my recent trip to Pittsburgh, I visited Sienna Sulla Piazza in Market Square for dinner with friends. I can't remember the last time I visited Market Square. It's changed quite a bit. Unfortunately, I had partied a little too hard at a bachelorette party the night before. Sienna had an excellent wine menu, but I had to pass on that. I wasn't sure if I could handle real food, especially rich Italian food, but Sienna's Housemade Ricotta Wild Mushroom Gnocchi ($19), surprisingly, helped cure my hangover. I asked them not to include the pancetta. Fantastic gnocchi dish with gorgeous mushrooms. John got his haircut earlier in the day, and the stylist told him that Sienna's food is great, but the portions are small. He ordered one of the vegetarian flatbreads and a side of brussel sprouts. Uhh, these portions are definitely NOT small at all. He ended up with way too much food! (Perhaps we're used to NYC portions?) Great service, great food. Next time I'm in the 'burgh, I'd love to stop by to try more dishes and explore their extensive wine menu. Until next time, Sienna!
