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.

Renovations started around sometime in 2017 and completed around December 2019, according to several articles. TA reviews for the hotel go back to December 2018, so it seems in line. When you stayed in November, most of the rooms were probably completed already. But the hotel wasn't "officially" completely done remodeling yet.

So I have a booking here under Luminous (ie free daily breakfast and $100 dining credits) for 2 nights in December. Does anyone know if I can get breakfast on day of checking in? Planning to check in at 10AM on a Thursday and have brunch at Wicked Spoon after.

I am booked in a wraparound terrace suite for my upcoming 2 night stay and wondering what $50 tip/trick at check in might get me?

Wraparound is about as high as you get with any sandwich amount. If you don't have fountain view with it, you may get that. After Wraparound, next level up are the Lanai and Bungalow suites. They cost significantly more. Either have to outright pay for it or gamble you're way up there. Haven't heard any data points on those suites being given out during check-in with a sizeable sandwich of any amount. Can always try but chances are slim. YMMV of course, so give it a shot if you want.

Yes I have done it a couple of times I think you have to be checked in first.

Thanks a lot, that means I can essentially have three breakfasts? Two nights, three mornings including morning on checking in and checking out?

Another stay at the Cosmp wrapped up. I think their service has hit an all time low. Asked for a quiet room and was placed looking down upon the day club. LOL

Also, why is it EVERY SINGLE TIME I have to request missing points from them? They NEVER post points without asking. Geez.

Had a great stay at Cosmo this week, but it was maybe the second time in 15 or so stays that I did not receive an upgrade to a room with a balcony. The new barbershop/bourbon bar/speakeasy at the front is cool and the tequila/nacho speakeasy in the food hall was amazing. Love this hotel as they are constantly adding new things to stay fresh. Very little reason to leave the resort.

My guess is no. I haven’t tried that. In your situation I would skip the middle morning. If you have breakfast 3 times almost 100% for sure you will be charged for one of the mornings.

Just booked the terrace suite with points for NYE for 65k points a night. I was surprised that it's not peak pricing. Rooms are going for $750 a night.

Does Cosmopolitan accept Marriott Suite Night Upgrades (SNA) for Platinum, Titanium and Ambassador members? Has anyone successfully used SNAs to receive either a Terrace Suite or Wraparound Terrace Suite with fountain view? My check in date is on a Wed and checkout day is on a Sat. Should I change my checkout date to Fri to increase my odds of an upgrade?

I'm trying to burn my 3 remaining SNAs, but I noticed that every Cosmopolitan rate in December 2019 requires a prepayment, and prepaid rates are excluded from SNAs as of October 2019. I booked the lowest possible rate as a test and it did not let me use SNAs.

I don’t think Cosmo accepts SNA.

Didn’t even give me an option to apply and I don’t have a prepaid rate.

Haven't seen any data points that SNAs work/worked at Cosmo, especially since it's on the Autograph Collection list of exclusions
