    I just left Cosmo a few days ago! I had a fountain view, which is my favorite. However, in the winter months, I usually get the strip side because you get the sun in the morning. So even on those chilly mornings, I can sit on the terrace and enjoy my coffee!!

    Great video great question.... The view in every Strip hotel is major for us.... and the view from the Cosmopolitan LV is very VERY key because many times the view may not determine a different price... iv'e had the same room type with very different views and paid the same ... in fact a bit more for the non fountain view (could've been the time of year for the price but ......) We will be at the Cosmopolitan LV in September for my Birthday and we are challenging ourselves to stay inside of the Cosmopolitan property for the ENTIRE stay... Breakfast,Lunch ,Dinner.... Snacks...Drinks... shows... party's .. everything ... looking forward to the challenge ...
    P.s. Cathryn with the arms length measurements is one of the FIRST things we remember from when we started watching... fun fact... each and every time we go out on our terrace at Cosmopolitan LV we stretch our arms to the end and look at each other... LOL... so that simple thing has made an impact on people... Again great video .. be well

      When is your birthday in September and how long are you staying at the Cosmo? That's a great challenge and totally doable, we think. We were absolutely shocked that we didn't leave Cosmo for 2 days. We normally hit 1/4-1/2 of the strip casinos each day, so staying in one place was a new experience and we didn't mind it at all.
      Too funny about the arms on the balcony rails. We're glad that was memorable - it was all we could think of to capture on video how far we are from the edge :)

What we actually ended up with I believe is a Studio Terrace Fountain View in the Chelsea Tower but it’s a 35 series room and it’s absolutely huge! 2 bathrooms, one of with is ginormous! Still has the Japanese Soaking Tub as well! Balcony is also soooo long. We were told at check in that there is only one of these room types per floor, it’s superb!

    I will say in my younger days I always did like a room with a great view, BUT we were never in our room that much so idk if that mattered back then....as we hit our mid 40's we love a room with a great view only because we like to chill more in our room w/cocktails and just enjoy it, as I guess you would say our "mid years". I do like the view you had, that wouldn't of bothered me at all! Beautiful! Also because we've had a fountain view at Vdara before so a different great view are good to us! We've never stayed at Cosmo, it's just never a resort that has enticed us. Love PARK MGM, they have some great views too!🤩

      We can certainly relate. We loved having a nice room and view when we were younger because we had ZERO $$$ to do anything else! The view has become more and more important as we age, since we seem to need a bit more rest and relaxation. But, for our next trip, we're going to try to go back to our 16-hour strip exploring/gambling marathons, at least for part of the trip. We stayed at Vdara on our last trip and the view was amazing. We haven't stayed at Park MGM, but I'm sure we will eventually!

    I’ve been staying at the Cosmo for 11 years now and one time I got a room that wasn’t a fountain view and was very disappointed. A fountain view is a must have for me. I stay in a wraparound so the Boulevard tower is another must have because they are close to the elevators whereas it’s a long walk in the Chelsea tower. The boulevard tower also has much easier access to the restaurants except for the buffet.

    @miguelgonzalez6213 2 года назад

    I think the view is important when you visit Vegas alone, because you tend to come back and relax in the room more often. When you are there with one or more people, everyone tends to find more and more things to see and/or do and you stay out of the hotel a lot more.

    • @TheMidlifeRide

      Good points! We never used to care about the room or view because we were always out on the strip. But, the older we get, the more we appreciate the downtime and the balcony with fountain/strip view makes us feel like we’re still enjoying Vegas during our breaks :)

    Facts about the loudness. My wife an I get wrap around comps all the time. We’ve stayed on every side of the cosmo in each tower. I’d say the wrap around in the Boulevard Tower facing Chelsea. The sun is crazy hot in the evenings, like don’t touch the rails hot. You don’t get the morning sun like in this video he explained, but unusually we don’t get up until 2pm so it’s not a factor but in the evenings it is. I still like that side though. Quite, plus people watching is fun. I’ve seen some crazy shit on those balconies around 2 3am. 🤣🤣
    The freaking Bellagio parking lot messes up the view as well in the Chelsea tower. An as expected the wrap around that’s front left of the cosmo, is an upgrade room. You get like just the actual fountain view without the parking deck and the north side of the trip, plus Paris an PH!! That’s the best view on the strip. Especially in the summer. It blocks out the pool party music that starts at 10’am. Cosmo is a frat hotel. We Just spent 2 weeks there on comps, I suggest for couples if you play slots or table to be 2 different cards. Double up on the comps.

    • @TheMidlifeRide
      @TheMidlifeRide  2 года назад

      That’s a lot of info. You’ve seen it all, huh? Maybe some day we’ll try a wraparound.
      Never thought about getting 2 cards. We figured it would be better to have more play on one account than to split it between two. We don’t play enough to reach a higher tier for two accounts, but we’ll give it a shot and see if we can get more comps. Thanks for the tip!

I have tried to book a room in the Boulevard Tower with a fountain view but they will NOT guarantee anything---NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH, ZERO. The only thing they will do is I can make a "REQUEST" but there are NO GUARANTEES of anything regarding room availability. And even though Iam wanting to book a room 8 months in advance they still don't give a rats ass as they have told me NO GUARANTEES just REQUESTS.

    • @TheMidlifeRide
      @TheMidlifeRide  2 года назад +2

      When we get the comp room offers, we call to book and upgrade at that time. It's usually $40-$50 per night to upgrade to the one bedroom fountain view room from the standard room comp they offer us. I think it's a great deal, especially when the offer has no resort fees.

      Agreed! They are so rare! It's not too hard to get comps at Cosmo, so you should definitely try to spend a little money there with your players card to rack up points. You get the most points for things other than gambling - food, shopping, stays, but they all add up. It took us a while, but we now get pretty regular comps. Without the comps, we definitely wouldn't stay there as much. Before we started getting comps, I booked 1 paid night - it's all we could afford. Then, a year or two later, we saved up and booked a whole week with a package deal from Expedia. After that, we've only booked the nights they offer for comps / discounts.
