What’s easily the most talked-about luxury resort and casino in Las Vegas and the United States this year – the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has been a 3.9 billion dollar project considered one of the most lavish of the decade – despite the recession.
If anything, the Cosmopolitan signifies and celebrates the end of the dark economic age in the U.S. and ushers in a new era of new money, exclusivity, and what modern-day Las Vegas glitz and glamour is all about. Here’s what you need to know about the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
