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.

The names of the rooms are confusing to me, but as I stated a few posts above, I was upgraded from a Terrace Studio to a 1 bedroom Terrace Suite that had a nice view of the Strip, right across from Planet Hollywood and no fountain view. The next room to my left was a wraparound that did seem to have a fountain view. If you Google map the Cosmo hotel, it will make better sense. Hope that helps.

according to the cosmo website there is no „terrace suite“ only terrace suite fountain view. The Marriott Site doesn’t include fountain view in the name, but otherwise lists identical room specs (sq feet, etc) as the cosmo site. Is there actually a room type that’s terrace suite, no view, and only bookable through Marriott?

Seems these guys are getting a bit shady. I've stayed a dozen times before and never had an issue. I booked a room for 4 nights next week about 2 months ago. I got an email today saying that I have to pre-pay the entire amount by tomorrow or they are cancelling my reservation. Rate never said that when I booked. Does not say it now. And I called the Plat line and they confirmed that my rate is NOT pre-payment.
I figured maybe they were sold out for next week and looking to kick out the cheaper rates, however, just looked and they have a WIDE range of rooms left, and actually at a LOWER rate then when I booked!
I replied to their email and told them to go ahead and cancel. I'll stay someplace else. Goodbye Cosmo!

That is a bit shady. Like you said, it's most likely due to them having higher demand. I see 2 large conventions going on in town, and one of them is being held at the Cosmo with estimated 9K attendees (American Contract Bridge League). Regardless, that's not right. I would've done the same thing, given the many options on the strip.

Hi! I tried to do a search but couldn’t anything posted on this (apologies if I missed!).
I am staying at the Cosmo with some friends in October for Halloween and have the option of booking a City Room or the Terrance Suite (both with 2 queens). The difference is $400+ over 3 nights (Thu-Sun), or 33% of the stay. The City Room is clearly the “deal,” but we want to be in the Terrance Suite if possible.
Has anyone had luck with the front desk upgrading from the City Room to the Terrace Suite? I’d ideally love a Terrace Suite with a fountain view, but I’m guessing that’s pushing my luck?
Any advice on what to book or maybe some real talk about what’s (not) possible at the Cosmo would be much appreciated? Thanks!

One other thing, we booked 2 seperate reservations (each one providing a $50 pool credit incidentally), one for the aforementioned 2bd queen for 5 nights. The other reservation for a Fri-Sun city room ( the weekend rate for the 2 queen was crazy expensive) and when checking in I asked if we could keep our assigned room over the weekend. One phone call to the room manager and confirmed we could, with no additional charge.
We have found that, despite not receiving our usual perks as platinum members, the Cosmo is by far the nicest, and busiest casino on the Strip. It definitely has the best vibe. And so far some of the friendliest, most gracious service we've received anywhere.
Btw, I'm writing this from my bed with a view of the Eiffel Tower and the LINQ High Roller. Excellent property.

I'm currently booked in a Terrace Studio. If I'd like a room in the boulevard tower am I likely to get it by just asking at check-in? Is this the kind of request I should "sandwich?" If so how much is recommended?

IMO, not worth a sandwich just to be in the Boulevard tower. And IME, there's usually more availability in Boulevard tower than Chelsea due to Marquee, as least for the lower floors. I've always asked my host to put me in Chelsea, but every now and then I get assigned Boulevard at check-in and I just kindly ask to stay at Chelsea instead. Never an issue. And depending if it's on a weekend, you definitely want to be on a higher floor. If not, you may hear all the noise from Marquee.
