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.

No mention of a concierge lounge. If no lounge then breakfast would have to be provided as part of the Marriott guarantee for Marriotts, Rens, JW's, and Autograph hotels.

It would be a shame if no lounge for such a luxury hotel.
That will be interesting about the concierge lounge. I am curious to know if the smoke-free policy only applies to hotel and conference rooms or does it also apply to the 100,000 sq ft casino area.

Resort or not?

From the description on the Marriott site:

Opening December 15th, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas offers an uncompromising resort experience.

I smell a "resort" exemption regarding the lounge, etc. coming our way.

It is an Autograph property. I have not seen reference to Autograph Resorts.

I would be extremely surprised if there was a lounge and if this property is not exempt from being required to provide all normal MR program benefits. Nothing in LAS is free. :-:

most properties have separate lounges. IIRC mirage lanais/villas are the only way to book access to a VIP lounge.

re "resort" - what vegas casino hotel is not referred to as a "casino resort"?

Hey all,
I am Gold and also wondering about any amenities Cosmo may offer to Gold members. M Rewards has updated their info page to include Autograph Collection hotels, of which Cosmo is branded. Copied below. They'll prob call this a resort to get out of the lounge and voucher promise, but looks like internet is free--That's usually about $20/day in LV

Reports from anyone staying

I'm not sure anyone has had the chance to stay at the hotel yet, but please report when you do.

I see there is a East and a West Tower... which one will the Marriott Autograph Hotel primarily operate out of, or if both, is there an advantage to either one?

I'm planning a trip in June, I found a rate of $140 for a Weds and Thursday night stay.

I've also seen where you can book the room from Marriott's site, and the http://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com site as well... does anyone know if we can book from the Cosmo site and still earn the Marriott rewards?

The cosmospolitan site has a couple extra special offers that I don't find on Marriott.

Interestingly they also have their own rewards program? http://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/...-now-form.aspx

And every resort-casino has their own rewards program so don't read too much into that.

I just got back from Vegas and stayed literally 10 feet away from the Cosmo. If you have the option choose the east tower which is right on the strip. The west tower is an extra 7-10 minute walk off the strip. The property is beautiful. I wasn't able to get inside, but I was inside the Aria and a few other buildings nearby which I believe are all the same architect. Stunning - really!

Every resort-casino in Vegas has their own rewards program so don't read too much into that.

Yes, I agree with jbart. The rewards program seems to be more in line with their casino rewards than a "loyalty program" to stay at the hotel. I think if they had an internal program to compete against marriot, that'd be a direct violation.

I'm curious to find out if status gets your room upgraded as opposed to the $20 trick. I'll be platinum when I go in January and am crossing my fingers I will get a nice upgrade even though I booked a standard room. I think it's possible they may still have a "vegas mentality" and really not recognize marriott status. Hope I'm wrong!

Photo Gallery of LV Cosmo on LA Times

http://www.latimes.com/travel/la-tr-...8.photogallery

I specifically love the "eye in the sky" photo over the blackjack table. Looks stunning from the pics here. I will be staying here just before the christmas weekend. I'm hoping that they will upgrade me somehow as a Marriott Plat.

Will put a review after my stay. Hopefully it will be a good one but I'm sure I will run into some hiccups since it would be only one week old when I arrive there.

Las Vegas Cosmopolitan Hotel

Has anyone stayed at the New Las Vegas Cosmopolitan Hotel? Any thoughts or experiences from this location? I will be out there in mid-January and will either stay at the Grand Chateau or Cosmopolitan, but I'm not sure if the new hotel is worth the extra 10,000 points per night. Stayed at the Grand Chateau a few years ago and has nice rooms, but basically nothing else in the hotel.

Thanks for the link. I did notice the announcement when it came out, but was hoping to get some thoughts from those that might have reservations and end up staying there in Dec/Jan. I'd like to get a feel to see if this is worth the extra 10K/night over the Grand Chateau. From what I can tell, it looks like it will be worth it.
