Hotel Website: The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Autograph Collection
Official List of Cosmopolitan Bonvoy Elite Benefits: https://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/marriott-bonvoy-at-the-cosmopolitan-of-las-vegas

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, the only charges that qualify for Points are as follows:
- Room rate, room service food and beverage, in-room movies, phone calls and in-room minibar purchases
- Points cannot be earned on any other purchases at hotel outlets or for hotel services

The Cosmopolitan is a "resort," so basically the only elite benny is a possible upgrade. Elites are not exempt from the resort fee

Resort fee is $39+tax effective 01/01/2019. Also as of that date, parking (self & valet) is complimentary for hotel guests.

Cosmopolitan is exempt from providing free wifi to Plats per Marriott's T&Cs, however it is included with the mandatory $39 daily resort fee so there is still no extra charge to any guest for using it.

Platinums receive:

* use of Platinum check-in area (to the left of main desks)

* Platinum arrival gift is $10FB coupon or 1,000 points

* room upgrade (space available) - better luck on mid-week stays than weekend stays. sometimes a 'sandwich' (ie, bribe) to front desk does the trick.

* free tea/coffee 6am - noon in the plat lobby check-in area

* Wicked Spoon: Marriott Rewards Platinums (and PPs) get to use preferred line and get 15% discount when staying at the property. Just show your MR Plat or PP card.
You can book through Virtuoso as well as Amex FHR for complimentary breakfast buffet at Wicked spoon.

Resort fee:

* $39 (+ tax) per day for resort fee, which includes gym access, local + long distance calls, Wifi, pool access. The resort fee is not waived.

Receiving Bonvoy Points for a Stay:

Many have reported needing to follow up to have Marriott Bonvoy points manually posted post stay (they do not typically post automatically.) A tip is to email [email protected] shortly after a stay asking them to manually forward your folio to Marriott Bonvoy for processing.

Hat tip to billycwhatup for this:

* Identity points and MR points can not be earned on the same stay

Other tips

The Terrace Suites are the most common room type and are classified as studio and one bedroom, with options for King, 2 Queens with or without a fountain view. They are essentially the same size, however (10 sq ft difference), but the layouts differ.

The King Studio Suite has a standard bathroom with shower and tub, a living room area with large sitting area and an L shaped sofa and the bed is in a separate area, though not separated.

The King One BR Suite has the same kind of living room area, with the bedroom separated by sliding doors and the bathroom is larger, with a "soaking tub".

If you get a terrace suite of any kind with 2 Queens, the living area will be smaller.

And unless your room type is described as "fountain view", you aren't guaranteed it, though Platinum status will get you upgraded on check in if they have one available.

If you book any of these room types and want to aim higher, I would try a giving the receptionist a 50$ "sandwich", and ask if any wraparounds upgrades would be available. If they say yes, there is a good chance that it will be a wraparound facing south-east or south-west, which for me would be a no go. Taste in view is personal of course, but for me the fountain-Eiffel tower view are so much nicer than the south facing views. Also when you would have the choice between a low level wraparound or high level terrace suite, I would still take the high level terrace suite, because a number of floors on the east tower are blocked by the big Bellagio sign. (see youtube vids).

If you really want a high level wraparound then you probably would have to pay, which can sometimes be not that much. If I'm not mistaken I think they offered me a wraparound at 150$ per night more, but we originally booked a 1 bedroom terrace room without view.

Last tip : If you would get the choice of wraparound I would definitely take a high floor east tower one, facing north-east. That would give you bellagio fountain + eiffel tower view, but also a good portion of the south strip.

Construction for Momofuku + the Milk Bar next door will actually cost $7m http://vegas.eater.com/2016/10/17/13...u-and-milk-bar


Are there ANY confirmed benefits for Marriott Gold? Wiki references plat only. Browsing through recent posts in the thread, it looks like it might just be use of Autograph "Lounge" for checkin, and late (1pm?) check-out. Anything else?

Yes, the above are correct for Golds. Also, and very importantly, you skip the lines at the Wicked Spoon buffet (but no discounts), if you stay at the property. (you need to show your gold status card). Also, you get a couple of waters at the lounge check in. What I haven't explored is if you can go back to the lounge and get additional waters, has anyone done that? Or just go get water across at the PH stores, water costs $1 there instead of $10 in the room.

Yes. Picked up water there every day of my stay last time I was there.

Yup - you can go in there and get water whenever you want. Although I've never gone in and asked for a 6-pack or anything like that.

Ok, thanks. I saw on the wiki that you cannot get both identity points and Marriott points, I this correct? Also, none of the restaurant charges, buffet, etc, counts for Marriott points, as listed on the wiki? Do they count for identity points, by any chance? Can you get Marriott point for the room and identity points for the restaurants or something like that? What do you guys do?

Lastly, can you get identity points for a past stay added to a new stay/account, if you bring the receipts?

Anybody can go to the autograph lounge to check-in. I wasn't Marriott gold until the merger with SPG but I've been staying at the Cosmo ever since they opened and i've been using the Autograph Lounge to skip the lines ever since too.

If you provide both your MR number and your Identity number, you will earn MR points on eligible charges and Identiy points on the rest.

You can earn identity points on a prior stay if you have the receipts. I don't know what the time frame is though -- they change polices frequently. I would give them a call. In the past they have given me points from emailing receipts to them, but that was some time ago.

Just wanted to confirm that Marriott Golds can use the "invited entry" for the buffet. I saw that listed as a benefit in one of the recent posts, but it's not listed as an official benefit. Is it one of those things where it depends on the buffet host allowing you in? Just wanted to avoid awkwardness if I try to bypass the regular line and they shoo me away.

I believe VIP is only if requested by a host. Though, I never enquired when I used VIP check-in.

Autograph Lounge for Marriott Plat. Identity Plat and Casino Host invited guests can currently use VIP checkin, although Cosmo frequently changes policies around whether or not Identity Plat gets access to that facility. There is usually an option to purchase VIP checkin at around $25 a day when Cosmo emails you a few days before your stay for the E-standby upgrade options. Not a bad deal considering the place is stocked with Veuve and snacks.
