They are called “drinking shoes,” not “walking shoes.” You know the ones: the gravity-defying footwear that looks super effing hot—until you have one too many Bacardis and forget how to walk properly in them. Perfect for wearing during hot sex, heels will quickly become your worst enemy if your stars don’t align and you wind up going home alone. That’s when you find yourself clutching onto your less-drunk friends for dear life in front of China Poblano at the Cosmopolitan.
Oh, yes. This happened. Here’s the YouTube proof.
Consider this a lesson: If you have to wear sky-high heels when you’re drinking—and believe me, as someone who owns no tennis shoes but at least a dozen heels, I believe it is a need—just be sure they’re easy to slip out of. Whatever unfortunate friends have to make sure you get home safely will appreciate it.
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas dares to be different. From the hotel’s red reservations desks to fine art found throughout the resort, The Cosmopolitan’s signature style is helping to pave its own path on the Las Vegas Strip.
Upon entering the resort, you’re greeted by pillars of video boards playing video art by Digital Kitchen and David Rockwell Studio exclusively produced for The Cosmopolitan. Just beyond that, you’ll find all your favorite casino games on the resort’s 100,000-square-foot casino floor.
The Cosmopolitan’s rooms standout as the resort’s most unique feature. About 2,220 of The Cosmopolitan’s 2,995 rooms have 6-foot deep terraces that span the length of the room, a first at a modern Strip hotel. Other in-room amenities include soaking tubs, kitchenettes and quirky accessories like artsy coffee table books.
The dining experience at The Cosmopolitan isn’t something you’ll find at other Strip resorts, either. All of The Cosmopolitan’s 13 restaurateurs are new to the Las Vegas market. You’ll find American steakhouse fare in a modern setting at STK, top-notch sushi at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill and the freshest fish flown in from the Mediterranean daily at Estiatorio Milos.
Whether the sun is up or down, Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub is the place to find the party at The Cosmopolitan. The venue is a dayclub/nightclub, complete with a pool and cabanas outside and three different rooms with three different vibes inside.
If nightclubs aren’t your thing, you can grab a drink at one of The Cosmopolitan’s five other bars, like The Chandelier, which is encased in 2 million dripping crystals.
