The $3.9 billion casino plans to open its doors in December, CEO John Unwin announced. The Cosmopolitan plans to open everything except around one-third of its hotel rooms, which should be phased in next July.
Here is more of the story from the AP:
Cosmopolitan CEO John Unwin said the hotel’s amenities, including 13 restaurants, a spa, nightclub, 150,000 square feet of meeting and convention space and retail stores, would open in mid-December with the casino and the bulk of its 2,995 rooms. The resort is going for approachable elegance, Unwin said, with all the offerings of larger resorts presented on 8.7 acres, meaning shorter distances between the Cosmopolitan’s features compared with other hotels.
“I think this really changes how a major casino-resort in Las Vegas is set up,” Unwin told The Associated Press. “It’s still big, but it’s not 15 minutes in terms of getting around the casino.”
Unwin, a former general manager for the 85-acre Caesars Palace who began leading the Cosmopolitan in October, told the AP that its decision to phase in about 1,000 rooms a few months after the casino opens has been in place about one year, to give more time to move furniture and finish interior work.
He said the resort’s construction is fully funded and plans are firm to have all of Cosmopolitan’s rooms open by July.
