Las Vegas: The Cosmopolitan Or Bust
In Vegas it’s all or nothing, and for a group of Deutsche Bank investors who decided to ante up $4 billion (one of the most expensive resorts in Vegas history) to develop a new hotel and casino, they’re hoping the gamble will pay off.
By the look of things, we’re betting it will. The Cosmopolitan will be the latest addition to the Las Vegas Strip. Cosmopolitan executives have said their approach in design, style, and amenities will cater to a new type of client, the kind who finds other Vegas hotels too formal and are searching for relaxed luxury. Sounds like a good spot for a Minx!
The hotel and casino consists of a double tower with all glass exterior, 800 hotel rooms, and unbelievable 2,200 condo-hotel units. The casino will host 83 gambling tables and 1,474 slot machines in a respectable 75,000 square foot space, while the retail and restaurant area spreads across 300,000 square feet. When you’re there expect art installations, a full spa, four lounges and bars to get your drink on, and what is expected to be the hippest nightclub on the strip called Marquee from the Tao Group.
But the biggest buzz seems to be over the Cosmpolitan’s “Casino Cabans,” a feature unique to this hotel and the Strip. Just what are these casino cabans you ask? Unfortunately, nobody knows, as the developers have yet to release details, but presumably these will be huge, private lounges within the casino (amazing!).
To boost their coolness even more, The Cosmopolitan will feature an extensive collection of in-house restaurants. With LA trend-space STK (steak for the gods) and the provocative French brasserie Comme Ça, New York’s King of all things Italian Scarpetta (which also just opened up at Bev Hills’ Montage Hotel), and Estiatorio Milos (what’s dubbed as the “finest Greek restaurant in North America”), The Cosmopolitan’s specially selected list of the hottest spots in all of the US, you won’t want to go anywhere else.
While the Cosmopolitan is set to open December 15th, the real night to go is New Years Eve, when the hotel will feature a concert with Jay Z and Coldplay- undoubtedly the hottest show and ticket in town. (Those lucky enough to attend will be amongst Jennifer Lopez, John Travolta, Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Aniston). Ticket or no ticket, the hotel’s club Marquee is set to host the best bash on the strip and will showcase the concert on gigantic projection screens and serve as the premiere after hours destination.
