Andrew, nice review on the Cosmopolitan. Mirrors many of my impressions of the place.
You didn't mention which style of room you stayed in though. We had a premium terrrace suite with view of Bellagio fountains on 56 when we stayed in January. Like you, move over Wynn!!! Both the hotel and room imho. Unfortunate for us, they were still working out the bugs with the television technology so it was pretty useless then.
Everyone comments on the garage we never used. We valet parked each time, discovering you could valet in either tower and pick up in another tower if you wanted later. And you could run your valet barcode under a scanner and your car was automatically called up. Little touches like this go unmentioned but made our experience just that much better. And don't get me started on the outstanding staff and customer service.
Frankly, I probably don't play enough $ to ever get a comped room here, just hoping for a reduced rate offer. Either way, this is one room I would gladly pay to stay in again and again.
Sounds like you enjoyed Cosmo as much as we did. Thanks for writing.
Edited to add, just saw your photos posted and saw that you were in a one bedroom terrace suite, but which tower? Couldn't tell from the terrace photo.
