Sin City's newest resort, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, officially opened its doors to guests and gamers on Dec. 15, 2010, it announced last week.
Situated at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, the new resort has 2,995 guest rooms within two 50-story towers, not to mention a 110,000-square-foot casino; three swimming pools; 13 onsite restaurants; a 50,000-square-foot spa, salon and fitness center; and 150,000 square feet of meeting space.
"The Cosmopolitan is about creating a resort experience set apart from anything that exists right now in Las Vegas," The Cosmopolitan CEO John Unwin said in a statement. "When you combine spacious suites, high design from talent like David Rockwell, a carefully curated award-winning dining collection, unparalleled service and gaming, we know guests will enjoy an experience that harkens back to an era when guests felt connected, inspired and engaged by their resort."
The Cosmopolitan was purchased in August 2008 by Deutsche Bank, which paid approximately $1 billion for the half-finished development after New York developer Ian Bruce Eichner and his company, 3700 Associates LLC, entered foreclosure.
"Deutsche Bank concluded that building a new brand, with a unique identity and guest experience, was central to the overall vision for The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas," Deutsche Bank spokesperson John Gallagher said earlier this year. "As a result, rather than partnering with an existing hotel brand, the bank brought on some of the best executives in the gaming and lodging space to form a highly experienced management and operations team, led by John Unwin. We're confident that this team will help The Cosmopolitan become a premier feature of the city's business and entertainment landscape."
