We love this pool, my man gets down before it gets too busy, 10 am, and grabs a couple prime of chairs in the sun. the morning starts off chill and quite, by the time late afternoon rolls around, it is a loud, rocking party. We always make friends and enjoy ourselves wayyyy to much .....and that's a good thing ! Waitress and bar staff are very good, a few 24 oz Pacifico's and we were feeling no pain. Please don't get made at the staff when you show up at 1:00 pm and there are no chairs open... This is a very popular pool and it will fill up fast. Just lay back in the shallow water and enjoy the view :) read more

I've been to the pool a few times now, for 2 concerts, and then the Margarita festival last night. I'm going to write the review based on last night's experience, since the concerts were a while ago. We arrived early, and the security guards outside the pool were super helpful and friendly. They directed us to will call, and then chatted until the doors opened. The layout of the pool is great for events and concerts. Last night there were tables set up ALL over the place with drinks, and a food station too. Everyone that we encountered that worked there was polite, and kind. The crowd was chill, and really fun...we made a ton of new friends last night. I will come back for more events here, if I have to opportunity to do so. read more

Very chill music venue with a great view. I came here to see Thievery Corporation and my experience couldn't have been better. Pros: -They drain most of the pool area so people can walk around freely in front of the stage area -There's a lot of blue and purple lighting which matches perfectly with the pool setting -You can dip your feet in the pool if you'd like -There are places to sit an lounge near the pool -There are pool tables if you feel like playing - Awesome sound system - Clean bathrooms Cons; -You CANNOT swim in the pool. There are no signs and I'm sure it's common sense, but I guess some people tried to swim during the Bright Eyes concert and they got kicked out immediately, even though the lead singer is the one that convinced them to do it. - Very pricey drinks ($10 for a beer) *Tip -Add the Cosmopolitan on Facebook. They are always giving out a limited number of free tickets to their concerts read more

Fabulous venue for a concert! It was my first time seeing a show here. During the day it is their pool. At night they drain half of the pool for part of the general admission standing area. The great thing about this is you can get as close to the stage as you want. The closer you are to the stage, the more packed in like a sardine you'll be. Even standing back about 100 feet, we had plenty of space with a great view! You can even sit with your legs in the pool and enjoy the show if you'd like! A few people had enough liquid courage to jump in after the show was done. They have a few different bars for your drinks. It's your typical venue pricing for those. But there was also a food area without the Cosmopolitan prices! Nice! I love the smaller venues. The Boulevard Pool is a great place under the stars to watch your favorite bands. Enjoy the show! read more

If you're looking for late afternoon sun, this is not the pool for you. Because of the location of this pool, the surrounding buildings block most of the sun later in the day. We arrived around 3:30pm and by that time the pool was completely shaded. We were able to chase the sun around until about 5:30 on the various pool decks, but after that there was no hope. The atmosphere however was quite nice, and the lounge chairs were super comfortable and plentiful. Music was playing over the speakers at a perfect volume- loud enough to hear from all around, but quiet enough to still hold a conversation. There were also some nice looking lounge chairs in the pool itself, but I didn't check them out since my main goal was catching some rays! And probably the best part about this pool is that they allowed us to bring in our outside drinks as long as we poured them into one of their cups at the entrance! read more

This is based on my first time at this pool for Macklemore concert. The pool is not easy to find! We were walking for about 20 minutes. Signs should be better in Cosmo or at least people directing you when there is an event. There were no people in uniform in site. We saw a lot of other people walking around blind too. Great views of the strip. Not much seating is a bummer. I feel like they could have had more lounges setup. I would check out another concert here and try the pool during the day sometime. read more

Lovely pool and great view. I love the dive in movies series over summer. Would recommend checking out.

If you're staying at the Cosmopolitan's Boulevard Tower, which I highly recommend, this is the pool area you'll likely be using. The other two pool areas are the Chelsea, for the Chelsea Tower, and the Marquee, for weekend un-tiss-un-tiss-un-tiss pool parties and weekday chilling with the adults. *** The Good *** - There are two pools in this Boulevard area, surrounded by plenty of chairs and some shade. Various reserved seating areas surround one pool; these include poolside chairs, daybeds, and cabanas. Still, there's plenty of the free seating to go around. - There are lots of in-water loungers in the shallow end of one pool - Great views of the Strip from the north end (and a secret great Bellagio fountain view spot past the bathroom and locker area) - Very easy access from all the rooms in the Boulevard Tower -- a quick walk to the elevator, press 4, and you're at the pool deck. - A series of big and waterproofed TVs line a wall by the smaller pool in a shaded area. Bartenders have the remote and can, say, put on TVG if you know someone who has a horse running while you're in Vegas and would rather not hang out in the cigar-polluted sports book to watch. - Friendly bartenders who make excellent Bloody Marys *** The Bad *** - That Bloody Mary will cost you about $15, pre-tip. But remember how easy it is to get to and from your room? And that you brought booze and snacks with you? Make that quick walk back to the elevators, head on up, fix yourselves a couple drinks, hang out on your balcony, watch the pool or Bellagio fountains or Strip from on high, and see how fast the oppressive heat melts your ice cubes and sends you back to the pool. - Some people bring splashy running kids, and why are people bringing kids to a very adult casino resort anyway? Parents take note: Vegas ain't Orlando, and the Cosmopolitan ain't the Disneyland Hotel. *** The Unexplainably Ugly *** - You simply can't pop over to the Marquee and Chelsea pool areas anymore without having to descend to and then traverse the casino. There's an outdoor passageway running along the south side of the whole resort that connects the decks -- at least it did. Now there's a temporary barrier to deter visiting other pools, and a security guy for when the barrier gets pushed aside. *** All told, or TLDR *** The Boulevard will get you a solid Vegas pool-experience that you can easily access from your room. read more

3.5 stars- This review is for the pool itself and not the concert series. This pool is visually and aesthetically pleasing, facing Paris and Bellagio and has a nice backdrop. The pool has varying levels of depth, I liked the wading area for tanning, the deeper areas for cooling off and the heated pool for soaking my feet. The thing I didn't like about this pool is that unless you come here when it opens, you aren't going to get a lounge chair. I feel like for lounging purposes, the pools at the Venetian/Palazzo are better. Additionally there are no open areas on the edges of the pool to put your items (as it is surrounded by lounge chairs.. Lots of paid lounge chairs), there is a cubby area for you to store your items but it gets high traffic so I wouldn't really trust putting your phone/wallet there. Overall, a gorgeous pool but not the most practical unless you're there first thing in the morning to snag a chair (or you fork over monies!) read more

We had a great time lounging at the pool & sipping on frozen pina coladas. My group of friends literally camped out there from 10am-5pm on Sat & Sun. Its super laid back with friendly workers. The only thing that I was uncomfortable with was a group of children (ages 4-7) were there (in the hot tub) while a whole bunch of drunk people were making out, cursing and basically enjoying themselves. Not to be insensitive but its Vegas and when I think of Vegas & a pool/ hot tub at the Cosmopolitan...or any Vegas hotel for that matter, I don't think of small children being present. It was slightly annoying because people had to somewhat watch their language and actions, which we shouldn't have to do because....WE'RE IN LAS VEGAS!!! read more

Boulevard Pool - 3 of us in the hot tub - Swimming Pools Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Although drinks are absurdly priced, if you're here to see a show, at least the tix are decently priced. I mean $16.50 for a Miller Lite tall boy or step it up to a Modelo for $18. Don't drink alcohol, no worries, they've "got your back" w/ $11 for a Fiji big bottle or $6 for a plastic cup w/ soda stuffed w/ ice. Okay so I think you get the point, drinks are pricey. Now what makes this venue awesome...first, tix prices are always really reasonable (imo). Second the sound quality is never a let down. They get some of the best bands and performers to come through. The venue itself is all around awesome. Tons of comfy seating throughout. There's also the pool side for you to kick off your shoes and get your toes wet, if they know how to swim. If not, now worries, there's usually a lifeguard on duty. When you walk all the way to the rear you get some of the best strip views, almost as good as from Chateau just not as high. There's definitely plenty of room to not feel confined. The eats ARE more reasonably priced. I like the grilled sausage (no homo). The Neapolitan Ice Pop shop, when open, is worth every penny. They have these real fruit and alcohol infused pops that are amazeballs. When allowed over there, there's another area w/ great views and more seating. There's a pool table over there too. If you're pool side on a regular day they also have foosball, a pool table and TVs w/ game consoles hooked up. Definitely a chill spot to kick it. The service is good and the employees at the pool are always friendly. read more

The absolute worst experience, for the second time. My husband and I stayed at the cosmo twice in the last year for a convention. Extremely disappointed with the staff at the boulevard pool. Bar tenders look miserable working there. Cocktail servers are unpleasant. I had to get out of the pool multiple times to find her to get our drinks. Rude when your talking to them, as if your asking them to do you a favor. It's their job! Management really needs to step up their game. Music is low and uninviting. I will not be returning to the cosmo for that reason. Poor training!!! read more

My review is regarding an evening summer concert; specifically Dilated Peoples/J5 on July 17th. Let me preface this by saying that I haven't been to a hip hop show in a very, very, VERY long time. Most of issues with these shows have to do with how cramped things can get, shitty attitudes from overly aggressive attendees, and not being able to see a damn thing (GA seating is unkind to those who are 5' 2"). With that said, this venue seemed to present itself as the beacon of hope for what can be. The Boulevard Pool was very easy to access. Those going straight to a show should park in the East Tower (or stay in the West Tower and make my life easier). Sidenote: It's perfectly located on the third floor near all the restaurants that have Happy Hour on weeknights, making for perfect pre-show festivities. The venue is on the third floor just past the restaurants. It was very quick and easy to get through security and I was surprised to find the stage practically in front of me when I got in. That's the first counter to my issues: elevated stage. It didn't really matter where anyone stood because the well elevated stage and very large screen made it possible to see everything. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=U76UBeGjN4GfRFr4y7fgLg&userid=5DFshFQlbQiQTvtzH7qwlA http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=OZip5SOFEo0OJxukKLku1w&userid=5DFshFQlbQiQTvtzH7qwlA The rooftop venue was phenomenal. I remember thinking, "wow, I'm watching live UNDERGROUND hip hop on a ROOFTOP." There was a wonderful breeze going through so it never felt stuffy or cramped. What was cool was the the pool area remained partially opened for use. I don't know if the prior lent to the crowd but the audience was great; positive, upbeat, and energetic despite it being a weeknight. Now, getting out of the venue is another story. The parking lot was quickly backed up and almost stalled but the staff worked quickly to direct traffic. I love the venue and look forward to attending more shows! read more

Dive In Movies here in the summer is awesome! So worth it to get a day bed because it's a food and beverage minimum of $50-$95 depending on which one you want. It's easy to hit the food and beverage minimum since everything is around $15. It's kind of a smaller pool but still really nice. read more

Review for the Cosmo Boulevard Pool during the 2011 Summer season! With the 2012 Summer season approaching I was reminiscing about last years pools I've visited. The Blvd Pool was one but this was more of a relaxed atmosphere. You don't usually go crazy and rage here unless of course you attend an event or concert. The nice fuzzy blue chairs lined up in front of the TV is so relaxing, and so easy to fall asleep on. There's a kiddy pool to the left, also manned by a lifeguard. The staff here is nice and attentive. You also have a bar that's stocked and when you smell the armoa of food in the air you'll also want a bite to eat. There's a warm jacuzzi area and the main pool area and a deep end within that. There are lots of chairs around but they are occupied with quickly. And the view from this area is nice. This is too relaxing for me though. I had no problems going in to the pool area to relax, no cost and no checking of room keys. I don't know if that policy has sinced changed though. read more

Getting here on a day that isn't the weekend is just about my speed. Relaxing at a pool that doesn't have EDM or dance music blaring is a real nice change of pace. You can just chill, either in a chair in the pool or one of the lounge chairs around the edge. If you're ballin' thee us always the cabanas. One thing I really like about this pool is that it's deep. It goes down to 6 feet. I guess in that way I'm a bit of a kid who enjoys something like that. Drinks A+ Food A+ Cosmo is one of my fave spots to just have a good time with cool peeps. read more

We wanted to get the full Cosmo experience so we woke up early and headed to the pool. The Bamboo Pool (in our tower) was closed and we had to trek all the way across the hotel to the Boulevard Pool. At 10am, there was a decent amount of seating available, although most of it was on elevated levels overlooking the pool and not in front of the pool itself. There's something about the set up that made me feel like I was just sunbathing on a lounge chair instead of enjoying the serenity of a pool. I'm sure others like the view overlooking the strip and the endless visual stimulation from the billboards. I just did not find it relaxing and I would've preferred to be lounging amongst the trees at the pool at Encore. We were hungry and ordered a few items for breakfast. The food came from the adjacent Overlook Grill. My fish tacos (one hard shell and one soft tortilla) was pretty tasty. read more

I really like this hotel, pool and venue. It truly is located in the center of the Las Vegas Strip. You can sip on coladas as you people watch with a birds-eye view of Las Vegas Boulevard. Be prepared to see and be seen - you must be in excellent shape to enjoy this place. Mostly Mid 20's- 30's with a relaxed/party vibe depending on what event is happening. Can't wait to get back! read more

Booked a day bed for $500 f&b minimum. With service charge, tax etc. it came out to a little over $650. Jonathan was AMAZING as our all around goto person for everything. Stacy was a bit harder to find but she was still really nice. Jonathan ended up having to move umbrellas AND put in drink orders for us. Overall the pool was pretty chill/boring. Not enough for people watching/fun/dancing, but not quiet enough for a quiet pool too. There were also a lot of little kids which I can do without in Vegas. Not sure we'd spend $650 again for a pool day here. Oh they also charged us $3 for a cup of ice which was really weird since they kept bringing us cups of ice without us asking. I thought they were just being nice. We ended up spending $50 in cups of ice! read more

I really love the cosmopolitan! It is my favorite hotel in Las Vegas. Friends of mine were in town and stayed here that is how I was able to get into the Boulevard pool.

Visited the boulevard pool today during covid. They only allow 50% capacity. The pool opened at 8am and we arrived at noon and at no trouble getting in. Our waitress was Erica and she was AMAZING! Shout out to her for being so attentive without being pushy and being super friendly. The only con I have is similar to other reviews in that it is very hard to get sun at the pool. The building is always shading the sun, even after changing chairs we still kept losing the sun. Other than that it was a great day. read more

A few things to know about this particular pool: The pool brings out a fun crowd that changes from the morning through the afternoon. There are a lot of people who come to this pool and a lot of fun people watching Make sure to get to the pool early if you want chairs because they run out rather quickly. We actually got there right at 7:45 in the morning to hold six chairs for a big group of people. The food is pretty good. I ate a falafel sandwich which was pretty good. The drinks are pretty expensive. The options are all fun drinks and are very creative. The cabana right along the water are requiring $500 worth of food and drinks. I believe the larger cabanas are in the thousands somewhere. I would go back to this pool at a later date. It was not too crazy of a party but it was enough to have some good people watching. read more

I have been here a few times. I have heard a few shows here. I have played a few games of billiards here. The tables are entirely too close together. It is free so I cannot hold that against them. I have seen a gigantic, near-NYC size rat here once (no bullshit)(Well, it may not have been that big, but it was not small.) I wondered how the fuck a rat gets on this roof to begin with -- but beyond that -- how in the world do they not have some sort of competent pest control that would mitigate for this guy. I mean, I am not big on killing animals, and technically this guy is an animal, but man ... Southern Nevada Health District ... where are you? They sell food here. Drinks too, I suppose. I have never imbibed. Read above. Additionally, what I can certainly hold against them is being kept out of ticketed shows that I actually had fucking tickets to! Note: Arrive really late, and it may very well happen to you as well. First time this happened was for Robyn. No shit. It was a Coachella 2011 run-off show, on Thursday night, and I was doing an early/late: attending Arcade Fire/Local Natives at The Joint, then hurrying over for Robyn. My tickets were at Will Call and I was sent every which way in an extensive, not-much-fun Scavenger Hunt which lead to nothing but us leaving displeased with the Cosmo. Second time it occurred was for a show I cannot recall. (It must not have been that important.) Anyway, even without a ticket, I made my way up to the entrance area and the door obviously knows my ugly ass from previous shows because after about twelve seconds of explaining that there was no Will Call and what-the-fuck, they let me in. Third time really pisses me off. Fuck Robyn and the second artist I cannot even recall at this point. We are talking Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. Edward Sharpe! This ... well, I will revise this review at another time, because I was not going to accept being locked out of an Edward Sharpe show I actually had Ticketmaster ducats to right in my hand and it is somewhat of a longer story. How many characters are the maximum allowed again? Until the next episode ... - E read more

Came here the first day it opened for the season and thoroughly enjoyed myself. We got a daybed and invited a bunch of our friends for food, drinks, and fun in the sun!! The food was amazing. Definitely get the beef satay. The sweet tea lemonade is TO DIE FOR...3 pitchers later... The view is great and the ambiance is chill and relaxing. It is definitely a switch from Marquee - and sometimes you need that nice getaway. Definitely invest in the daybed or cabana if you can't find a seat. You'll spend the money on food and drinks - easy. Definitely a fan read more

Place is really pretty and the staff is awesome, until you hit any managers. Not too sure if I just happened to meet every butthead manager they own, or if they hire normal people, promote them then suck their brains and personality out? The two stars are for the pretty pool area, and because I'm not totally sure who worked for the venue, and who worked for the event we were there for. Seems you have to "someone" just to be treated like a human, and get legit questions asked. I will never go back to this place, if there is another event I want to see, and thats the only spot I'll stay home, I can got to Walmart and be treated better. read more

Loved it! Such a fun and unique way to use the pool and signage at night.

Fantastic pool! My husband's and my favorite pool in Vegas! The pool is 4 stories up and provides great views of the Strip! Not sure if any other pools in Vegas offer strip views as we have only been to a couple others, but the Boulevard pool doesn't disappoint. My husband surprised me on our first day and rented us a daybed. A bit pricey at $500 (minimum food & drink order to rent the bed - before tax and required tip) but cheaper on Friday than on a Saturday :D We had our own waitress and all of the food and drinks we ordered were amazing. We couldn't even hit $500 and debated passing out food and drinks to others, but in the end were able to leave with a bottle of champagne ;) Our second day, my husband got down to the pool early (about 8:30am) to get us lounge chairs, which fill up FAST. By 9:30am, all of the chairs were full. Again spent most of the day lounging, drinking, eating snack bites. This pool is only 1-2ft deep for the main area. It's definitely a 'see and be seen' pool as you can't swim in a foot of water, however I imagine most people are not going to Vegas to swim laps in a pool :D We had a great time and can't wait to go back! Not sure I'll convince my husband to go anywhere else (if we're by ourselves!) read more

I have a love hate relationship with the pool. The sun is always blocked with how badly the hotel is blocking the pool. Can't find a strip of sun after 2pm. I did want to give a shout out to Cody at the pool. He was our runner both times we got a cabana and then a daybed. He was so great and attentive. Even found me a grilled cheese sandwich since the pool menu was not so vegetarian friendly. read more

By far my favorite place in Vegas to see a concert. With the "beach like" lighting and palm trees, mixed with the surroundings of city center this venue is truly the best of both worlds. Ive seen numerous shows here such as Death Cab For Cutie, Foster The People, and Ben Iver. And those I can honestly say were 3 of my favorite concerts ever. How do they have a concert in the pool you ask? they drain it of course :) Also with amazing backdrops for photo opps, you cant go wrong with this place. read more

I've been here multiple times for the pool and various events (mostly concerts, their Ice Rink attraction, and once, the annual AFAN B&W party). For concerts and large galas, it's a terrible venue. The walking space is limited and very crowded and unfortunately, you're not allowed in the several pools during these events. Also, it's always really hot! The only reason I keep coming back is because of the artists and the inexpensive ticket prices. Tickets are sold on their website through Ticketmaster/Live Nation or at the hotel box office (next to the Front Desk) and offer mobile tickets/check-in. This is has been very convenient. We've seen Foster The People (2011), Neon Trees (2014), Fall Out Boy (2014), and Of Monsters and Men (2015). Great shows, shitty crowds. Get ready for drunken idiocy, open drug usage, and a lot of secondhand smoke in a tight space. Although being outdoors, there is very little air movement that makes it so unpleasant if you hate inhaling any type of smoke. Anyway, the music sounds great and I love the streaming video on the hotel's large screen marquee (it usually shows advertisements). The bar is always crowded with people just hanging out, so it's a battle to get through. I believe the hot dog cart/taco stand is always there during shows next to the main bar. I've yet to partake, but will report back when I do. Basically, there's nowhere to sit during the concerts. Which is not unusual. People do sit on the ground around the edge of the pool with their feet in the water, but you're basically watching the screen since you can't see the stage from there. During the winter months, The Ice Rink comes alive and is pretty great. A much better and more relaxed atmosphere. I try to come out at least once or twice during that time because I love the outdoor fire pits and winter cocktails. Full review on its Yelp page. The pool itself is nice. Well, it's nice when it opens (8AM). It's a totally different scene from the advertised day club atmosphere. The water is calm, clean, and relatively empty. You can snag one of the highly coveted lounge chairs on the main pool. Lack of loud music. Get here before 8AM and beat the crowd (yes, there's actually a crowd this early). We arrived at 8:09 and almost all of the main pool chairs were taken. Granted, there are not that many since most of the main pool is surrounded by daybeds ($$$$). The pool has a large wading area and a decent-sized space that maxes out at 4ft 8in. So, apparently people show up at 8AM to "reserve" these first come, first serve chairs and just leave. We know this from experience: There were towels on a couple chairs, but no one around, so we asked nearby patrons just to verify and everyone said they were vacant. We placed our belongings on the chairs/table and headed to the water. An hour later, we witnessed someone moving our things, so I rushed out of the pool. The lady was really upset and I explained that I didn't want to cause any trouble and that I'd move, which we did immediately (although difficult to find new chairs at this hour). Within minutes, she came by to apologize for her behavior. The best part of this whole situation? This woman left AGAIN to dine at the Outlook Grill. So, just to recap; this group came, saved chairs, and left the pool, all before 8:09AM. Then, returned an hour later around 9:07AM to make a big fuss just to LEAVE THE POOL AGAIN. The chairs were still vacant when we left the pool at 9:45AM. WTF. This can't be okay. We would have come and gone before they even needed the chairs and everyone would've been fine. Instead, we had our lovely morning ruined by faux ownership of chairs! read more

In the early morning, before the hot tub is overrun by jersey shore wannabes...before the cabanas are brimming with douchebags & their maxed out credit cards...this pool area is really blissful. Views. Comfy lounge chairs. Pools are the perfect temperature. Lounge mats in the pool. That gigantic shower head thingy. It's heavenly... Until your thoughts are interrupted by grunts & "omg, I hope my eyelashes stay on in the pool! Do you think they will?!" The d-bags have awaken, & that's my cue to peace out. read more

My boyfriend and I were staying at the Cosmopolitan in mid-August from a Saturday to Wednesday. I know from my research cabanas are expensive on the weekend days which makes sense, but I wanted to try on a weekday. We talked to the concierge and they had to call to get prices, and recommended we go to the pools to see what ambience/vibe we liked better. We picked Boulevard, less crazy than Marquee but more lively/larger than the Bamboo pool. We went to the info desk at Boulevard to inquire about prices for the next day and they gave us a card to call. Interesting. Person on the call was very nice and helpful and we booked for Tuesday. We loved that the cost of the cabana is all in consumables, and we picked the upper level smaller cabana (just us 2) for 200 (plus tax & gratuities for a total of 261). We had a GREAT server, Laura, super cute, friendly, attentive and seemed to love her job. She was just awesome. Her relief Devin (probably spelling it wrong) was also super sweet, she was similarly attentive and nice. We had fun racking up $200 in food and drinks, mostly drinks since the heat squashes our appetite. We had breakfast (breakfast sandwiches, an awesome fruit plate with small dish of french vanilla yogurt, regular coffee), and later had the salmon hand rolls (replaced one with tuna) which were great and then blue crab lettuce cups that were pretty good. We also got chips and salsa which they replenished, nice! The drinks were fun, some more sweet than others and there were a few food/drink items we only had half of since we had the 200 to spend, might as well get what you like. We both loved the Tequila Mockingbird (margarita) and Stubborn Mule (moscow mule) drinks. The cabana itself was perfect for 2 people, maybe 3, but it would have been tight for more. There are two designated lounge chairs in front so that would help spread it out. There is a flat screen TV so we had that on most of the time. A fridge with ice, waters was nice, plus there was a safe just like in the rooms. In terms of temperature, it would get a little hot as the breeze would shift, but once the spritzer things came on on the two open sides of the cabana that would help. The lounge chairs were nice but often in the sun, and we are both pale and I moved to a more shady area. It was super quiet to they let me use a lounge chair at the cabana next door. It was a little bit of a trek to the pool, but it was refreshing, definitely more populated with the 20s-30s Vegas crowd, but likely subdued from Marquee. Totally reserve a cabana on an off-day! It was one of my trip highlights for sure. read more

We were in town for EDC and staying at the Cosmopolitan. The pool was our rehab after a night in the desert partying. Well at least that was the plan.... We got down about 10 am both days, claimed our layout beds, ordered some healthy fruity non alcoholic drinks and took a short nap. Two hours later a party broke out and the place was almost as packed as the speedway the night before. Fun crowd, glad we got down when we did , fills up fast...... Hilarious to see the looks on the groups of people coming down at 1pm thinking there were going to find a place to lay when there was hardly any place to stand or dance Wait staff busted their buts and did a great job of keeping us hydrated . read more

Located on the 4th floor of The Cosmopolitan and thus laden with the hotel's typical douchebag crowd of bros wearing sunglasses at 8pm it was much to my dismay that I found myself standing around waiting for Interpol to begin at 9:45 on a Thursday evening, the stage set far above people who seemed as though the cared far less about the music about to begin than taking selfies and smoking pot while admiring one another's skin-art...though in the end, perhaps this was appropriate given the piss-poor quality mixing and glare from Aria as well as pH as sounds from the strip echoed into the night air. Truly a shitshow and undoubtedly the worst venue I've yet to experience in Vegas suffice it to say I'll not be back soon and no matter how much I've loved Interpol during tour stops in New York, Detroit, Columbus, and Cleveland one must question why on earth they'd have considered playing such a show in the first place - has a band that once filled Radio City Music Hall twice in one year really fallen this far in only 2 years? read more

In my opinion, the pool area is pretty small to accommodate such a major resort. Heck, even the pool area at Luxor seemed bigger! Boyfriend and I took a mini staycation and stayed at the Cosmopolitan for Labor Day weekend. We came down on Sunday around 11:30am ish and there were hardly any chairs left. (We did eventually find two chairs together about 10 minutes later. We got lucky since I scoped out two females leaving. You really gotta keep an eye open.) Before you tell me, "you snooze, you lose"....let me say this: I really don't think it's fair for people to "reserve" chairs while they wander off for 2+ hours. It should really be first come, first serve....with your PHYSICAL BODY laying in that chair. I understand if you were going to reserve chairs while you go back upstairs to get something...go grab your to-go food order or have a friend join you within the next hour or so. But none of this "I'm going to put my shirt + towel on this chair at 8am and not return until after lunch." Even worse....inconsiderate a$$holes who don't even bother to pick up their own towels when they leave. They just leave it on the chair causing confusion for future guests. Pick up after yourselves!!!!! There are two pools here....one big one that's considered their main pool and a smaller one. Their main pool is about 4 feet at its deepest and the smaller squared one is maybe around 3.4 ft at its deepest. There's also a small hot tub. The food was okay. I've had better pool food elsewhere (Drais and Daylight comes to mind.) $12 for chips and guac. The Boulevard Pool is located closest to the East Tower. read more

I love the Boulevard Pool... as a place to lounge, get your feet wet, and sip a margarita. I do *not* love the Boulevard Pool... as a music venue. Yes, if you haven't already heard -- the Cosmo routinely drains the water out of the pool, turning into an open space for bands and the like. It's an amazing backdrop, listening to the likes of Andrew Watt, Atlas Genius, Borns, and Panic! at the Disco perform their hearts out with the glittery lights of CityCenter in the background. It's also amazing when the camera crew pans across the audience, and your face briefly appears on that humongous Cosmo marquee hovering above the Strip. Unfortunate, the fun ends after about 5 minutes. There's nowhere to sit, you're packed in there like a sardine in a sea of high school kids, and heat exhaustion and dehydration are threatening to take you down at a moment's notice. To add insult to injury, you can't even get a cup of tap water at the bar. Dropping gobs of cash for overpriced bottles is the only option. Even then, you'll have lost your prime concert-viewing real estate near the stage. After a few hours at the Boulevard Pool, all I could think about was how I'm too old and tired for this. I think I'll catch a show elsewhere next time. read more
