Cosmopolitan FAQs
Where is the Cosmopolitan on the Las Vegas Strip?
The Cosmopolitan is in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip. It opened in 2010 in the “city center” of Vegas, just south of the Bellagio hotel and beside the Aria.
The Cosmopolitan contains two main resort towers: the Chelsea and the Boulevard.
In total, there are over 3,000 rooms in the Cosmopolitan. The style of the interior is modern contemporary. It is one of the more higher class properties on the Vegas Strip.
Who owns the Cosmopolitan Hotel?
The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas is owned and operated by The Blackstone Group. It is their only ownership on the strip and rumors have been swirling since early 2019 that the hotel is for sale.
During construction, much of the hotel was due to be luxury condos. When they were converted to hotel rooms, the footprint was already set. This means that the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas has some of the largest standard rooms on the strip.
The footprint of the hotel is also smaller than other resorts on the Strip, making it generally easier to get around the complex. A lot of Cosmopolitan amenities are on the second, third, and fourth floor.
When did the Cosmo open?
The Cosmopolitan opened its doors on December 15th, 2010.
Since its opening, the hotel has had partnerships with the Marriott and the Ritz Carlton, and both rewards users can redeem value here.
How Do You Get Cheap Hotel Rooms at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas?
The official website for the Cosmopolitan guarantees that you will get the cheapest rates. If you find a rate on the internet cheaper than the official site, they will match it for you without any questions asked.
Through the official website, you can also cancel your reservation up until the very last minute. Other sites restrict you in certain areas.
