ISSA Guide: Be Seen At The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

Best described in two words — uber chic — the ultra modern and high-end Cosmopolitan hotel has more than a dozen food options, five bars, three pools, an outdoor performance venue, pop-up wedding chapel and a 100,000-square-foot casino.

Eat at Estiatorio Milos

Looking for a fine-dining experience on a budget? Skip dinner and indulge in Estiatorio Milos' three-course seafood lunch for $25.15. The authentic Greek restaurant, which has a commitment to freshness, exceptional quality and environmental considerations sources its fish from small, family-owned fishing companies in the Greek islands, the shores of Morocco, Tunisia and Portugal, as well as independent fishermen in Florida and Nova Scotia. Lunch is served from Noon to 3:45 p.m.

Grab a Drink at Chandelier Bar

The Chandelier Bar, located in the heart of Cosmo's casino, is the see and be-seen place on the Las Vegas Strip. The tri-level bar, decorated with 2 million shimmering strands of beaded crystals that run from the floor to ceiling, has a cocktail menu that also shines bright. The Verbena is a highly-aromatic cocktail that is an experience all on its own. Start by chewing on the Szechuan Button, a little flower bud, that will make the tongue tingle and go numb right before devouring a tasty infusion of sweet lemon and ginger.

Free Entertainment: Lucky Cat

Maneki-neko is a Japanese catlike cultural icon, said to bring good luck. The Cosmopolitan Lucky Cat modern art exhibit showcases the cat as a 9-foot tall interactive sculpture designed to share its good fortune. Lucky Cat dispenses a fortune card to anyone who places a hand on its paw. For a select few, this card will reward prizes such as complimentary one-night stays to cocktails and concert admission.
