Only a hour flight away from Las Vegas we visit frequently, sometimes once a month. I'll be sharing our trip reports, tips on making the most of your stay in Vegas, reviews of restaurants and shows we have seen, along with my thoughts related to our favorite place to get away from it all.

Cosmopolitan Las Vegas Trip Report-Winning!

My host at Cosmopolitan matched my offer I received from M-Life which comped me to a 1 bedroom terrace suite, $300 in free play, $200.00 in food&beverage and since I'm platinum level at Cosmo I also received limo service from the airport along with VIP checkin and lounge access.
When I arrived at baggage claim my luggage was there but I didn't see my limo driver so I called Cosmopolitan and they said he was there and would call me. We finally located each other and we were off to Cosmo. It was only 12:30pm so I checked my luggage and went to VIP checkin where I discovered Socalgirl also checking in. While they gave me the card key to my room which was on the 23rd floor they said I had to wait for the housekeeping check and it would be about 10 minutes.  While waiting I had a couple treats from the selection available and then wandered out to the casino while Socalgirl went up to her suite.
Ninety minutes later I'm still waiting for the call to tell me my room is ready so I call VIP services up again and finally they say I can go up.  The suite was lovely and the view from the 23rd floor was great, and since I was on a lower floor this time I could clearly hear the Bellagio fountain music.
The previous trip in February we had a few room issues but since Cosmo had now been open for more then 3 months and was calling themselves a 5 star resort I figured this trip would be flawless.
I was wrong, little did I know that my room had a few unpleasant surprised waiting for me.

$1 Secrets of the Forest Bonus Game at Cosmopolitan

I had a wonderful trip the end of March and came home thousands ahead for a change. I meant to write up a trip report and still would like too but once I returned home my son moved back in with us and family activities and obligations have kept me very busy. We just returned from a family trip to Walt Disney World and I'm hoping to have some spare time soon to write about my favorite vacation spot Las Vegas.

In the meantime here's a video of me hitting a bonus at Cosmopolitan this past March on $1 Secrets of the Forest and even though I was betting $33 a push it didn't pay off, only $240.00 and we all know we can win more then that on the penny Secrets of the Forrest. Fortunately for me earlier on a different $1 Secrets of the Forest at Cosmopolitan I had hit a hand pay on the bonus game.

Kitty Glitter Bonus paid $3930.00!



During my 5 day trip, I lost the first 2 days and the last 2 days, but in the middle of the trip for 24 hours, I had 3 hand pays and a couple other good hits. Below is the video of a Kitty Glitter Bonus at Cosmopolitan that paid $3930.00! Normally I don't play $1 Kitty Glitter at $30 a push but earlier had won $5000.00 on $1 DaVinci Diamonds and $1,403.00 on $1 Secrets of the Forest, all wins at Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas!



More videos and my trip report to follow during the next 5 days as I also have to catch up with work at home.
