Getting back to the Cosmo, at casinos in Vegas anything comp'ed will NEVER include gratuity. So if you're offered a $200 spend comp at a hotel as part of the package, and you pay for a dinner that is $170 + $30 tip, the $30 tip will remain on your bill at check-out. (Makes some sense - since the $170 meal only costs them a fraction of that, whereas the $30 is a real $30). On the plus side though, anything that is comp'ed does not incur sales tax, so you can spend up to the full $200.

SPG & Hyatt cover gratuity. Stayed at the Dolphin (Sheraton) at Disney World and it states it right on the voucher. I've never been charged when staying at the Andaz in San Diego at the restaurant and always put 20% just in case. Multiple other stays at both SPG and Hyatt's.

It's a resort so late checkout doesn't apply. As a Plat Premier on an ordinary weekend, they gave me until 2 and said I could stay til 3 for an extra $100. I was free, however, to use the facilities the rest of the day.

Over NYE all bets are off. You might get a 1 or 2PM checkout as a Plat, but unless you have status with the resort/casino itself, you aren't likely to get much over NYE with a fully packed hotel. Still worth asking at checkin though.

Thinking about making a rez at the cosmo using FHR. Given the less-than-stellar reputation for this hotel to even post the elite nights correctly on (supposedly) eligible rates, am I better off booking elsewhere? Elite night credits posting properly are, obviously, the expectation. I could also either book the Westin (non-FHR), which should post with no issues, or forget all this and book an FHR rate at a non-Marriott. Thoughts?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi folks,
I am sorry if this was answered elsewhere but if I book through Expedia, will still get my SPG Platinum benefits such as lounge access, free breakfast...etc?
Kind regards,

You may not receive Platinum benefits if you book through Expedia. You may view 2.1.f Non-Qualifying Rates of the Loyalty program for more details.

The only Platinum benefits the Cosmo provides are 15% discount at Wicked Spoon, 1,000 points or $10 F&B credit and 1 level upgrade if available.

There will be “free” parking for guests at the Cosmo starting in January; it will be included in the (rapacious) daily $39 resort fee - how generous
