The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States · Autograph Collection · Core Luxury
At a final cost of $3.9 billion, the Cosmopolitan opened December 15, 2010, as the most expensive Las Vegas Strip resort built to that point, shoehorned onto just 8.5 acres in a vertical stack that wraps within five feet of the older Jockey Club. Deutsche Bank seized the unfinished project after the developers defaulted, finished it, then sold to Blackstone; MGM now runs the 3,033-room twin towers, 100,000-square-foot casino, and 3,200-seat theater. Coldplay and Jay-Z played the New Year's grand opening.
- 3,033 rooms
- Opened 2010
- Neighborhood: The Strip
- Interiors: Rockwell Group
About The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
- Rockwell Group shaped the interiors; the lobby bar sits inside a three-story crystal chandelier, with rooms looking across the Strip at the Bellagio fountains.
- Original condo-hotel sales and a Grand Hyatt operating deal both faded before the December 2010 opening as a freestanding resort.
- Perini dug about 60 feet for underground parking and raised the twin towers with roughly 41,000 tons of steel.
- Zuma, Scott Conant's Scarpetta, and David Chang's Momofuku sit on the upper dining floors, above a ground-level casino, an unusual Strip stack.
- Blackstone bought the house in 2014 for $1.7 billion; the first quarterly profit arrived in 2015.
History
The Cosmopolitan opened on 15 December 2010 as the most expensive Las Vegas Strip resort built to that point, a $3.9 billion vertical stack on 8.5 acres that wraps within five feet of the older Jockey Club. Deutsche Bank seized the unfinished project after the developers defaulted, finished the twin towers, then sold to Blackstone; MGM now runs the 3,033-room house, the 100,000-square-foot casino, and the 3,200-seat theater. Coldplay and Jay-Z played the New Year's grand opening. Rockwell Group interiors, a lobby bar inside a three-story crystal chandelier, and dining rooms by Zuma, Scarpetta, and Momofuku sit above the ground-level casino.
The setting
The Cosmopolitan sits toward the south of the Las Vegas Strip, three minutes on foot from the Bellagio fountains and about five from Bellagio itself. The Strip is American spectacle as a neighborhood: fountains, moving walkways, and hotels that are cities. 2 miles from Harry Reid International Airport.
