Cosmopolitan Stay - 2/8 - 2/10/11

Actually, we are penny slot players. Peggy plays about $ .75 - $ .90 a spin and I play about $1.25 to $1.50 per spin so we are not big players and I have no idea what we did to deserve this comp. I know that the first free room was a Limo/Taxi driver promotion that Cosmo created immediately after they opened so that drivers would know about the property and spread the word. We only played a couple hours on that first trip so I don't know where this offer came from, but I'm not complaining!

Cosmopolitan does have free play. It was another mailer that we received that a certain amount of play would give us $5 in "Identity Play" which is their name for free play. After the first day I went up to the players club and I had accumulated $50 in free play and Peggy had accumulated $15. Before we checked out, we went up again and I had accumulate $55 more and Peggy $20. This was in addition to our initial $300 in free play which was in my name but naturally I shared it with Peggy. A husband's gotta do what he's gotta do!

Also, anything you spend at the resort (room charges, food, spa, etc.) goes onto your account as points. Everything is integrated. As a matter of fact, if you are staying there you don't need your players card as your room key also serves as a players card.

As far as outcome, Peggy was actually a little ahead for the trip. She kept getting nice jackpots at Cosmopolitan. I lost, but did well on my free play at M the day we checked out.

P.S. - Take a close look at the picture on the wall in the living room (4th photo).

Thats a terrific amount of Freeplay for what youre playing. Hmmmmmmmmm
We might have to venture over again.

I was in town Tues/Wed nites too. Guess my invitation got lost in the mail? lol

Thanks so much for posting the room pics. Luv the pool balcony photo.
Furnishings modern which I really like.
Except the blue sofa, kinda ugly,, but the rest is pretty Cool.

Nice you were able to comp dinner for your neighbors too.
And smart to tell the mgr in person, about the double tipping charge.
Not everyone would take the time to do that.

Yes, the Legs photo, funny!
Thanks for the terrific TR.

Nice report, Larry, and thanks for the pictures.
Appreciate your mention of Diablos, because I have been curious whether the food was worth enduring what looks like a noisy eatery.

Ditto what CLV said...glad you took the time to inform the STK manager about gratuity snafu.

Larry, nice report!!

I laughed when I saw the "feet" picture in the living room. LOL

Nice photos!!

What's with the shower curtain?

I think a glass door would look a little better. LOL

Anyway, glad you had a nice trip!!!

Hope your wife is out of the chair soon!!!

Thanks Larry for not only the report but also for the nice photos.

And that's great that you were able to use some of your food comp money for your kind neighbors.

Beautiful pictures and your report was an enjoyable read. Thanks for sharing!

jjjj21 - Because of Peggy's current condition (broken femur and in wheel chair), on our two stays at Cosmopolitan we asked for handicapped accessible rooms. I actually used that shower and the entire floor got wet, as there is no lip to stop the water from roaming. It's not a very useful design, but building a lip to stop the water would also stop a person in a wheelchair from getting into the shower if they were alone.
Compromises.

OK. I see. I did not think about the handicap room angle.
Yes, you would need special assistance to gain access
to the shower under those circumstances.

You, and especially Peggy, will be very happy when she
vacates that chair, I'm sure!!!

After your great review and another one I just read today
in the LA Sunday Times, I plan on staying at Cosmo
soon. I just hope it's through a comp like yours. LOL
