My partner and I come to The Cosmo four times a year, every year, and for very good reason: No other luxury hotel provides such a richly-fulfilling, consistently glamorous experience from end to end, all the way through. (Oh, and it is the only hotel on the Las Vegas Strip with balcony'd standard rooms.)
While some folks prefer guest rooms that overlook The Bellagio fountains, I recommend requesting a high-floor room, facing south, or toward the airport. You'll get sun all day, a better sunset experience (see my image attached), and incomparable views down The Strip with the Veer Towers, Waldorf Astoria, Aria, Park MGM, and New York, New York all in plain view.
Don't forget that The Cosmo has two fitness centers—a 24-hour mini-gym in the Boulevard Tower and a staffed full-size gym in the Chelsea Tower.
The world-class restaurant collection at The Cosmo is unparalleled, and this visit, our standout culinary experiences were had at Zuma, Blue Ribbon, and—you can't skip this upscale buffet—Wicked Spoon.
We visited the Sahra Spa this trip but only to purchase some of their luxury skin products. (A visit to the hammam proper is on the list for next time.)
A note: Vesper Bar is closed for the next month or two for renovations, but if the redesign of Bond Bar into The Barbershop is any indication, the new concept will surpass the former.
It is quite remarkable that The Cosmo only seems to get cooler and more hip as it grows older. 2020 will be year ten for the resort, and it has never been a more fabulous, magical place. The right side of wrong, indeed.
