The Cosmopolitan is one of the newest additions to the Vegas Strip and it's a different kind of place altogether. Playful, contemporary, shiny, and downright weird there appears to be something here for everyone. Jason and I wandered in one night at the suggestion of our aunt and that's how we found The Chandelier ... not that it would be easy to miss. It's a multi-level spectacle that actually houses three different bars / lounges surrounded by curtains of illuminated crystal beads that really give the illusion of a chandelier.
On our last day in Vegas we re-visited the Cosmopolitan just so we could hang out at The Chandelier for a bit. We chose the Top of the Chandelier, which is a dark, comfy lounge at the pinnacle of the bar. There were two others to chose from: Inside the Chandelier (middle level featuring cocktails and a very shiny bar); and The Bottom of the Chandelier (casino level, featuring booze and loud music). Because it was fairly early in the day we had the place to ourselves and enjoyed a relaxing drink and some great local conversation with our bartender and waitress.
Jason ordered a Hot Mule - Hangar One Spiced Pear, Ginger Beer, Angostura Bitters, and Housemade Ginger Syrup; and I ordered a Misty Rose - Hendrick's Gin, St. Germain Liqueur, and Rose Nectar. Two of the best drinks we had on a day filled with some damn fine drinks! They were reasonably priced, too, considering that we were in the heart of the Vegas Strip; $10 per drink and they were well made and generously poured.
Check out the random pictures below, which just don't do the place justice. You have got to check this place out on your own the next time Vegas is on your travel itinerary.
