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.

Can't use at any restaurants and/or stores directly. You can only use Marriot GCs at checkout towards final bill. Which ones will apply or not, probably best to consult with Cosmo directly.

For those with Identity accounts, check your email for a message with the subject "Play Now & Win Guaranteed Prizes for Your Next Visit". It's an offer to win $5-$100 in resort credit by playing a quick free online card matching game. Might be a targeted offer but I got one a couple of weeks ago and I'm a very small fish to them.
Unlike most Casino promos like this where there's a 99% chance you win $5, this one is actually skill based and easy to win more. The credit posted to my Identity account instantly. You don't even have to be staying at Cosmo to use the credit.
The game must be played by May 15th.

Stayed there last Tue/Wed night (7/21-7/22). Nothing special, all benefits are still as listed in the wiki - booked Terrace one bedroom through Marriott BRG, received Terrace one bedroom w/fountain view. Parking is free for everyone. If I had to guess, I would say occupancy was somewhere around 20%, demographics trending towards families with young children. There are a lot better deals out there in terms of room rates right now, Bellagio and Wynn/Encore being two of them.

According to the wiki, wi-fi is included in the $39 (+ tax) per day resort fee.
I did not stay recently, but the link above expressly states that "the breakfast option associated with the Elite Welcome Gift benefit . . . is not available."
T & C 1.2.a.xiii.A.(3).

Identity, the Cosmos loyalty program, sent another set of $99/night with resort fee offers out via email. We stayed at the end of June on an earlier one and a few days before our stay added another night, that extension was the free Identity night that comes with their silver status for the Friday night.
As is normal, in my experience, I had to file a missing stay twice for the two folios (one for promo rate nights and one for the free night) I received two approvals and all the nights and spend that earns Bonvoy points showed in Marriott account totals and activity.

In case someone is curious. I booked my stay at Cosmopolitan for a short honeymoon/getaway a week ago. Got a package with $50 food voucher at the pool area. The hotel is gorgeous, lots of guests around - many more than I saw at other hotels these weeks. Autograph lounge is open 8am-8pm but they serve coffee/tea only, no snacks. As a Platinum member, I was offered 1000 points or $10 for the entire stay. Got upgraded from a regular king to a terrace king room, so overall it was good.
