Just curiosity. Does the cosmopolitan las vegas hotel has all different room types under different level categories? for example lets say i want the Wrap around fountain suite which is in this video demonstration.. Are the Wrap around fountain suite has a category levels ? lets say if the building itself is 60 levels.. example i wouldn't no... Does this mean the wrap around suite fountain view starts from levels 20 to 50 ? and that levels 1 to 19 are for the studio rooms which is cheaper ? and that Terrace suites fountain view are on levels 50 to 60 ? So i wouldn't no. You see i want to visit las vegas im very excited thanks to this video. Im saving my money the suite i want is very expensive for 10 to 15 days stay.... I expect fountain views and a amazing skyline view of vegas. However i be extreme disappointment if by the time i arrive there they might allocate me on level 1 to 10 or 10 to 20 with only hardly nothing to see from the balcony because all you will see is the car park building in front... So thats what im so worried about.. I mean i guess i could request a higher level or middle high level lets say room 48 level example. Maybe they can NOT guaranty or promised me anything and that which ever way on the day they might locate me from 1 to 60 and if i end up in level 1 or something lower it will be a waste of money entirely.... how would this work out ? I wish i knew. I cant call the hotel expensive to call USA phone numbers while im in another country at the moment. But interesting to see that every video i witness on youtube including yours the wraparound fountain suite they always seem to be higher floors as in around 40s to 50s levels.. never seen or witness a video where they are in level 1 or 10 ot something lower numbers even the Terrace suite fountain view.. Maybe each suite are under a category levels ? The strange thing is the official website does not mention no info that wrap around suites are category levels 20 to something or whatever number levels of the building and im talking about the views from the level they put you in the room. Thank you and please take care
I want to clarified something and please correct me if im wrong of the UPGRADES A big LEARN about the UPGRADES which is NOT what you think UNLESS your a VIP or a member of the hotel resport: So like i said examples calculate it: if your 1 bedroom suite with fountain view cost you 2,000 dollars when you booked it online. By the time you arrived to the hotel they going to tell you if you want an Upgrade (typical) i hear this everyday from people. The upgrade will be the next suite up style.. for example it cost 3,200 dollars. So basically since you already paid 2,000 dollars to stay in the actual room you where attended to stay in the first place.... they will ask you if you want an upgrade... which means the next room type suites cost 3,200 dollars for 4 nights. So what your getting is... its not really an upgrade at all... your just using the price more to what your already paid in the first place just to get into the next level of suites.. So its not really an upgrade.. It sounds more like do you wish to pay just a bit more to get the next level suite instead.... which means you already paid 2,000 for the room you where suppose to stay.. but now you jump above the upgrade next suite which means pay the hotel 1,200 and the total cost for that upgrade suite comes to 3,200 dollars.... If you took the 1,200 off it. then you end up going back to the suite you where suppose to stay in the first place which cost 2,000 dollars... So i want people to be aware of the myths and tricks involved. And it does not work cheaper which ever way. Just because you paid 2,000 dollars which is a lot already for the room you suppose to stay in the first place just because there's an UPGRADE... doesn't mean it is going to be cheaper at all.... your still paying the FULL amount for the next level suite type room of 1,200 dollars more.. and that is not cheap... Example lets say you where suppose to stay in the 1 bedroom fountain sweet it cost 2,000 dollars and u paid that.. The next level up suites cost 3,200 dollars. So basically 1,200 differences.. Do your math its a trick for the hotel just to make u pay more for a next level suite... No upgrades i wouldn't really call it an upgrade. Remember Resort fees and tax fees on top of the price per night as well. It be nice it be FREE upgrade but they will never give you a FREE upgrade unless you pay so because u already paid 2,000 for the room u suppose to stay they will play your mind saying you can have the biggest next level up suite for just 1,200 dollars ONLY which leads you to spent 3,200 dollars in all up.. You wont be paying ONLY just 1,200 dollars and thats it. You still have to pay regardless if its a Upgrade.. and these rooms are not free upgrades unless your some type of VIP visitor or something. It may look and sound cheap because you already paid 2,000 dollars for the room u where suppose to stay online booking by the way you get to the hotel they will say UPGRADES for only just 1,2000 more you can get the second entry level suites.. Which means you have spent 3,200 all up in total. Which means that upgrade suite cost 3,200 dollars to begin with... So think clearly before you upgrades because its not cheap and no discounts unless your some kind of Member to the hotel resort or something. Thats how Hotels tempt to play peoples mind and its a trick just to add more money in. Remember you already paid 2,000 dollars to begin with with your ONLINE booking type room u attended to stay. But the hotel tells you Do you want an Upgrade? you say yes and then they say.... i can give u a much bigger suite upgrade for only just 1,200 dollars.. You go ahead paid for it. But do you remember you have just paid the 2,000 dollars before ? So now your paid in total of 2,200 dollars (1,200 + 2,200 total 3,200 dollars) The upgrade room they where giving you which they ask you if you wanted an upgrade... the next entry level suite they giving you cost 3,200 dollars for 4 nights... So basically your not getting NO upgrades at all. Your actually just jumping from the cheaper room to a higher expensive room of 1,200 dollars differences.. So paying more obviously gets you the next upgrade grade suites obviously so its not really an upgrade.. It may look it is because you paid 2,000 sometime ago for your booking online but by the time you get to the hotel they ask you if u want upgrade and pay 1,200 dollars so keep in mind you have just paid total of 3,200 ONLY to jump to the next bigger suite so its not really UPGRADES. ' I'm sorry but not sure if people nowadays are that dump or just brain washed what they see and spent. Which ever way enjoy the room you attended to stay not just upgrades because upgrades is not free and upgrades is not a discount at all....... Take care and enjoy the stay.
There are almost no cases in which it works as you describe, but in some cases, that can be partially true. Most resorts on the Vegas strip will offer standby upgrades when booking directly, and they are usually priced at less than the difference in full retail price in my experience. At checkin, if there are vacancies in higher tier rooms, they will generally offer them at a very low price because they can more easily book the lower level room at retail, so they are filling an empty room and opening a vacancy in an easier to fill room, and at least making a little money for doing so. That's for people paying full retail and not booking through the casino. For those booking directly through casino offers, the upgrades can be free as in my case, or will be price scaled based on your play rating with the casino. So an upgrade that might cost you $500 per night might be offered to me for $20 per night on the same dates even though your lower level room was already $500 per night and mine was free, meaning your out the door cost for the better room is $1,000 and mine is $20. All that said, worst case scenario is they do what you said and offer upgrades for full retail, or even more than full retail difference. The only company on the Vegas strip that has ever done this to me is Caesars. For example, I once booked the presidential suite at Ballys on a casino offer for about $175 per night. I had the option to book the penthouse suite for about $300 per night, but after I booked the presidential, they sent me an offer to upgrade to the penthouse suite for the low price of almost $1,000 extra per night. Caesars is notorious for systems not talking to each other, and I think that's just a poorly programmed system not realizing I was only paying $175 for the presidential and that the penthouse was bookable in the first place for $300 per night. I've never experienced anything like that with any other company on the strip. I know exactly how upgrade pricing works at Cosmopolitan, and it is not even similar to how you say in your comment. They have a grid on their computer screen with all rooms and price levels, and will find your original booking and whatever room you want, and assign that a number of "steps" in terms of upgrade. When I stayed in the room in the video, I saw the screen and they called it an "8 step upgrade" from a fountain view terrace studio to a fountain view wraparound. Their computer screen spit out an upgrade price of $110 per night for any 8 step upgrade, but they called the casino, told them my player number and that I wanted an 8 step upgrade, and the casino told them not to charge me. For what it's worth, of all the videos I have currently posted, the only one I paid a cent for was the Bellagio Penthouse. I was comped in a fountain view basic room, which at the time had about a $400 per night retail, and was offered the penthouse suite for $100 per night. The retail cost of that was about $1500 per night the nights I stayed in it, so my upgrade price was less than 10% of the retail cost difference of the upgrade. It's also pretty common for people to bribe checkin agents with a $20 or $50 and be upgraded with no change in price. I was upgraded for free, and without asking, on my very first trip to Vegas at Caesars Palace a long time ago as well, booked through 3rd party and hadn't played at any casino in 10 years at the time. I booked the cheapest forum room at Caesars and was put in a brand new Palace Premium room at checkin because they had the vacancy and wanted me to be impressed to come back, which is just good business. In Vegas, there are indeed, a ton of actually free upgrades happening every day, and when you pay for an upgrade, you're paying less than retail 99% of the time. You just need to do a little leg work and know the price of both rooms and make sure you dont get sucked in to that scam of paying full retail difference or even more, because Caesars at least, will definitely try sometimes. In general though, it does not work as you describe on the Vegas strip, even for people paying full retail for their original bookings who arent even members of the players clubs.
Thank you for the information. And clarified about it. I guess thats how it goes when it comes to Upgrades.. But sometimes people still have to be skeptical about what the hotel tells you when it comes to upgrade a better higher room which may lead you having to pay more or maybe not. But what is with the extreme high cost on resort fees hotel room fees the tax fees all added. How do people manage going there and having to pay that much. It seems that the whole tax fees may cost MORE then what you pay for the whole room itself.... depending the days you stay. I think this whole fees adding up is well beyond ridiculous. Take care @@MCann
Somewhere in the mid 20s I think, maybe 26. The top of the Bellagio sign is somewhere in the range of 26 to 28th floor if you're on the northeast corner directly in front of it. I'll report back if I find it. Edit: just looked it up, and this was floor 29.
@@allenharris2549 It was on 29th floor (which is actually the 19th floor because Blvd tower goes from 4 to the 5th floor being labeled 15, etc). This video is room 2993...still had my checkout folio email in my account and just looked to confirm.
I didn't pay for that room; it was a casino comp. Retail cost varies quite a lot by day, depending on demand and occupancy, but its base rate is typically about $500-650 per night on weekdays and about $700-$1,200 per night on weekends from what I see, plus tax and resort fees. It can be a lot higher during special events and some holidays, or much lower a few weeks out of the year when Vegas occupancy is low.
Did they charge you for the upgrade? I tried so hard my last stay (I've been to the cosmopolitan 3 times) to get the wraparound. I love the balcony for various reasons. It's definitely unique in las vegas. The nighttime ambiance is second to none!
Room looks great but that terrace , WOW♥

On paper yes, they charged a little over $100 per night, but then zeroed that out with comps before I left, so in reality, not really.
