LAS Discounts Insider Guide: 5 Ways to Save at The Cosmopolitan

Welcome back to the LAS Discounts blog series. For our next installment, we are heading right into the heart of the Strip to explore one of the most stylish and vibrant resorts in the city, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

Known for its modern luxury, incredible restaurant lineup, and energetic nightlife, The Cosmopolitan is a premium destination. While it caters to a high end crowd, there are still plenty of ways to stretch your budget. Here are five major insider tips to help you save cash during your stay.

1. Feast Smart at Block 16 Urban Food Hall

Instead of booking expensive sit down reservations for every meal, head up to the second level to visit Block 16 Urban Food Hall. This is not your average casino food court. It features fast casual outposts from famous chefs across the country, including Hattie B's Hot Chicken, Lardo, and District: Donuts. Sliders. Brew. You get incredible, gourmet quality food at a fraction of the cost of the resort's traditional dining rooms.

2. Find the Hidden Pizzeria

When you need a quick, budget friendly meal late at night, skip room service and head to the third floor. If you walk down a narrow, unmarked hallway lined with vintage record albums, you will discover Secret Pizza. This hidden gem serves up fantastic New York style pizza by the slice. It is the perfect spot to grab an affordable bite after a night out at Marquee Nightclub or the casino floor.

3. Leverage MGM Rewards for Free Parking

The Cosmopolitan is now fully integrated into the MGM Rewards program. This is fantastic news if you are trying to avoid high daily parking fees. Just like at neighboring MGM properties, having Pearl status or simply holding the MGM Rewards Mastercard grants you complimentary self parking in their convenient underground garage.

4. Score Comped Drinks at The Chandelier

Grabbing a cocktail inside the stunning, multi story Chandelier bar is a Las Vegas must do, but the drink prices definitely reflect the premium atmosphere. For a more budget friendly approach, grab an open seat at the bar level video poker machines. If you insert a little cash and play at a steady pace, the bartenders will comp your drinks while you play, allowing you to enjoy the incredible vibe for much less.

5. Look for Wicked Spoon Buffet Deals

Wicked Spoon remains one of the top culinary buffet experiences in the city, famous for serving its dishes in individualized, tapas style portions. To avoid paying full price, make sure your MGM Rewards account is linked and active. Higher tier members like Gold and above frequently receive two for one dining offers through the program. It is also always worth checking the MyVEGAS app before your trip to see if any complimentary passes or discounts have been added to the rewards lineup.
