That Purple Envelope

[RiverSong]

Thanks for the information Evoni. I really like Cosmopolitan and will miss the perks this trip. On my last trip I had under $100 charged to my room and my host could or would not take it off. Yet my next offer was $570 plus $100 food....go figure!

I have $1500 earmarked for Cosmo and am thinking of saving most of it to become established at Venitian/Palazzo. Maybe play around $500 during my Cosmo stay since my offers seem to be drying up anyway. If I do end up getting offers I'll rethink my plan. I also plan to charge all meals/drinks to the room so they see I am spending money. I use my checking cashing card at Wynn so I won't get my budget mixed up and dip into it. Also, I won't have to travel with additional cash on hand.

Cassie, actually at Cosmo its good to charge all meals and drinks to the room rather than using your cash card since each $1 spent there is worth 5 tier points. It's easier to get to their higher tiers by spending money on things other than gambling. I'm not sure though how that affect marketing offers.

Cosmo host i talked to were arrogant jerks and didnt seem to want to help this was prob a year ago. Only action they seemed to care about was if you played tables. Lost prob 1500-2k over a day and a half but couldnt take off $40 in food charges. Bs i thought.
Started giving 90% of play to mlife after that

Your status isn't lowly you did make Platinum with them! It's just a shame that they no longer have the fabulous VIP lounge on the 3rd floor they had for a year when they first opened. It was the best VIP lounge on the strip and now all I have are photos of it and memories, LMAO!

Well maybe that's one thing this new management of theirs will reinstate! Seriously, they are not great at showing the love sometimes.

@Evoni, not to make you do another archaeological dig, but do you have photos (or a link to an old TR) showing that lounge?

I'll remind you at dinner (hope I remember for all of us) but if you aren't staying at Cosmo when we eat at e' you can still give them your identity card when paying so you get the tier points added to your account. It doesn't help with getting comped offers so much as it does in making it to Gold (or Platinum) so you can use the perk of the 2 free comp nights a year along with a free room for a companion too. That perk is not suppose to count against our comps unless they recently changed that policy or what I was told was incorrect.

These photos (click to enlarge) of the former VIP lounge are from Feb 2011 when Randy and I were Platinum at Cosmo. Once they took this VIP lounge away we weren't interested in maintaining Platinum status with Cosmo any longer. It's hard to tell from these photos but the lounge was huge, a lot larger then the Gold Venetian lounge for those who are familiar with that one. There was always hot appetizers being served and mini desserts and chocolate covered strawberries sitting out on the tables. Soft drinks and water were arranged on tables and there was butler service for the usual well type drinks but you could also order a complimentary Cosmopolitan, Chocolate Martini or Mojito type cocktail too. I guess it was too much of a good thing since they later grabbed it for a second high limit room that is more exclusive then the one on the main casino floor of Cosmopolitan. For a while they had a VIP lounge in a hospitality suite on a high floor in one of the towers but it was really not great and not in a convenient location at all. I'm not sure what they are using these days for a VIP lounge for Platinum.

Thanks @Evoni! Yeah, it'd be great if they did something like that again. Maybe I just haven't asked the right person yet, but as far as I know there is no VIP lounge for Identity Platinum members these days. Closest thing is probably the Talon high-limit room on the second floor East Tower next to the elevators, which has its own bar and comfy furniture. But I feel weird going in there knowing I have no intention of playing at those stakes. Table games too, not slots -- super scary!

[Evoni]

The Talon HL room is where original VIP lounge was located, I misspoke when I said 3rd floor. I feel the same way you do Boots about checking it out.

@Evoni was right, my offers did not dry up...yippee! No purple envelope, but did get an email!
