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.

The two sites I used were agoda.com and easyclicktravel.com.

No, you wouldn't book the lower rate on Cosmo's website. Use LNF to get an additional 25% off.

Are there any rooms except the City View that sleep 2 or more people without sharing a bed - Cosmo's website doesn't have it, but Marriott lists "Terrace Studio, Studio, 2 Queen, Balcony"?
(booking for myself + 3 teammates for 4 nights Sun-Thurs in mid-july)
I can't find this option on any other sites, but found a good LNF price via cosmo's own site provided they don't do 'terrace Studio != terrace studio w/ 2 queens'. Has anyone requested 2 queens instead of a king - or is there some better option not listed?

I booked a 2 queen studio on marriott and then filed the LNf claim using weholiday rates. I used the studio rate and it doesn't specify how many beds. Price on Marriott.com was 3 nights fri-mon was 980, after claim, new rate was less than $500.

I stand corrected and have edited my post to remove that sentence. I wasn't feeling well when I made that statement, which puzzles even me.

Free Breakfast at the Cosmopolitan?

Does the Cosmopolitan still offer free breakfast buffet for Platinums? Last time I was there was in October (2011) and got free breakfast/brunch buffet for 2 for free for each day we were there.

Did they change that?

Has anyone taken a pet here? It see on my res for NYE that pets are welcome with a $250 REFUNDABLE sanitation fee. Curious if anyone has any experiences with it.

TIA

Thanks alrvd83! I just booked a terrace studio with 2 queens for the upcoming week. Unfortunately, the rate for Sun night (our first night) was astronomically expensive. So we decided to hotel hop from Aria to Cosmopolitan from the second night. I think it worked out great in a way since I wanted to try Aria too. Last time, I stayed at Mandarin Oriental and it was really really nice. I hope Cosmopolitan can compete with what MO can offer.

Browsing through FT, I just found out about LNF. It seems like there are many success stories at this property. Too bad that we have to file within 24 hours of booking (and it is not easy to match terrace studio with 2 beds with the description of rooms other 3rd party websites offer)

Looking forward to my first time at Cosmopolitan!

That website seems to include breakfast in all of their prices. Do you get free breakfast still? How does that work?

Absolutely no chance

They are like chalk and cheese, don't go to the cosmo expecting the MO. I would advise you go to the cosmo with low expectations that way you might be happy.

I left the Cosmo early to go back to the MO, it costs shed loads more but it's worth it.

YOU WILL LOVE YOUR STAY! I have stayed in a penthouse at the Aria, for a bachelor party, and it was amazing. The 2 bedroom suite at Cosmo (wraparound terrace connected to a terrace 1 bedroom) by far is the best. The vibe of the cosmo is just amazing...GREAT nightclub in Marquee, great casino, excellent pool party and great restaurants.

I haven't stayed at the MO, but since I don't yet have a wife slowing me down, the cosmo is best for partying with your buddies and meeting chicks lol
