The magic starts as soon as I pick up my bag at McCarran Airport: I am greeted by a uniformed chauffeuse who whisks us to the Cosmopolitan’s waiting s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d limo for the ten minute glide to the truly impressive lobby of Vegas’ latest star resort. Costing four billion dollars, with 3,000 rooms and freshly opened just a couple of months ago, this hotel is everything a Vegas resort should be: over-the-top pizzazz at its finest. Our room was magnificent: sliding glass doors open to an private terrace overlooking the southern half of The Strip with views to the snow-capped mountains beyond. A large, decadent bathroom features a sensuous Japanese soaking tub obviously built for two, with those same stunning views over Vegas.
The Sahra Spa and Hammam is a serene oasis of desert rock and falling water where Dara and I retreated into our own private massage heaven. The dining is exceptional: we were indulged at Jaleo, China Poblano and Holsteins (just three out of the 13 restaurants and eateries) each was truly excellent. Best of all, the location of The Cosmopolitan is both central on The Strip and right on The Strip itself…So: time to explore that infamous Strip.
