An experts opinion on the Cosmo rooms?

[seanc]

Hi,

We are looking to book a room at the cosmo for 4 nights in July.

We are going to use the Marriots LNF discount to get the best price.

I was wondering what you guys thought the best idea is.

Do we book the City room (cheapest, 2 bed, no balcony) for $855 and try and sandwich $50 at check in for an upgrade.

Or don't take the risk, and book a 2 bed studio with terrace for $1079.

thoughts?

YOLO....

why not take the risk... Its vegas after all.

[seanc]

haha, good point.

could be the first gamble of the holiday!

What size sandwich would you suggest to get an upgrade from city room to a 2 bed terrace?

[AusVIP]

Go a $50

also, i think Marriot.com charge your credit card in full when you book, including resort fees. Does this mean its not possible for them to waive resort fees when you check in because they would have already been paid for?

[seanc]

what if....

we booked the more expensive room (2 Queen bed terrace) AND THEN sandwiched a $50. what sort of upgrade would we get then?

I appreciate this is just speculation, but just wondering what you thought?

If you absolutely need two queen beds, the 2-queen terrace studio is the best you're going to get below the 2-bedroom city suites (those come with a king and two queens). Those are quite a bit more, and there aren't very many of them, so I doubt a $50 sandwich will get you there.

cheers Chali.

So maybe a $50 sandwich will get us better views or something? might not be worth it.

Ask for the Terrace suite or wraparound.. you can just try $20.. if you use $50, ask for them to waive the resort fees too lol.

I booked a City Room 2 queen beds for two nights hoping that a $50 sandwich would get me a free upgrade to a terrace studio with a good view. They told me at check-in that they didn't have any complimentary upgrades, but for $50+tax a night, I could upgrade to a terrace studio. I went with the paid upgrade. Got a room on the the 42nd floor overlooking the Bellagio fountains, can't complain.

Thanks for the info, How long ago was that?

we need 2 queen beds tho! so i think the 2 bed studio terrace is our safest option

[seanc]

we decided to pay the extra and book the 2 bed studio terrace. it was only and extra $200 approx between us both.

We would have risked a $100 sandwich at check-in, so might as well pay the extra up front and guarantee the better room.

Maybe a $20 sandwich will get us fountain views etc

any idea how we can get the mini bar emptied so we can stock our own alcohol?

You're smart to have gone with the upgrade. The City Rooms are nothing special and don't even have balconies.
