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.

i actually had a first this past week
Just a quick question. I booked straight through the Cosmo website for an upcoming reservation. I just called into this morning to add my Marriott # on to the res. I shouldn't any problems getting my Plat amenity and any possible upgrade right? We got a great upgrade last time we were there to a 1 BR Suite with a great view of the fountains on the 57th floor.
They actually pre-assigned a room for me this time. It was in East tower ending in 89 (SW Corner) You also would want it to end in 82 (SE corner)
Not sure if they are starting to look at past stays or not. This was my 16th stay (3 nights) one level above city room booked for 170 a night. Plus 150 resort credit. Only the 2nd time getting moved into a Wraparound. I did not use the Plat. lounge to check-in

promo running though the end of dec or jan
It was a promo running book 2 nights get 100 credit, book 3 get 150 credit. The new promo is save 20% off 3 nights. So they are being a little more aggressive with promotions right now.
The credit was good on anything except Marquee nightclub and tips with the drinks/meals

Earlier in the year the "3 nights 20% off" deal seemed to switch back and forth between open to all, and international guests only.
When it was "international only" they didn't show it on the Marriott.com site, the "open to all" version would have a few days lag time so not much of a window for LNFs using the cosmo site as a reference.
Still interested in that comment from Cosmo that resort fees might be waived for marriott members - I'm guessing if that comes to pass then it will only be for platinums.

Where did it say it wasn't good for Marquee? Doing a similar resort credit promo ($500 for 2 nights in a wraparound suite with a $500 resort credit; yay cyber Monday!) and was hoping to use it to pay for (most of) a bottle at Marquee. I didn't see language that'd exclude it in my promo nor this one. I know the club isn't run by Cosmo same as basically all Vegas clubs, but I'm pretty sure club tables can be charged to a room and count towards Identity status as well, so seem odd.
1000 identity pts = $10. When you want to use them to buy things at the hotel. I play mainly table games, and they don't rate you nearly as well as slots (that's most casinos) . So just gamble for many hrs and day and you'll be fine.
Most questions about this hotel I can answer...if I can't answer, I will email my casino host and post his response.

Also, hotel guests get in Marquee for free on Fridays, but their group has to have at least the same ratio of girls/guys. (my friend is a mgr at the club)

And basically none of the nightclubs in Vegas are owned by the hotels.

One of the 15 managers . I had no idea on the identity points with spend. We dropped 3k one night on 6 bottles. That would have been nice to add to the points. I really do not get many points.

Many of the VIP hosts call themselves "managers"...I've seen that in Vegas lol. My friend, Larson Legris, is the VIP director...
