Vacations Close To Red Sea

We stayed at the Cosmopolitan for four nights in October and loved it! Our 1,000-square-foot Terrace Suite Fountain View on the 18th floor was beautiful, immaculately cleaned, and had spectacular views of the Bellagio fountains and city skyline. Having two bathrooms was wonderful for a couple, and the empty mini fridge was convenient for storing drinks from CVS or ABC Stores across the street. The location is unbeatable, right in the middle of the Strip, with convenient indoor walkways to Bellagio, Aria, and Vdara. The airport taxi was a quick $27 flat fare. Both pools were lovely, and in October we had no trouble finding free loungers in the sun or shade. Cocktails were expensive at nearly $25 USD. Our biggest disappointment was an unannounced private event that limited our planned pool day to just one hour. Given the $65 nightly resort fee, advance warning would have been appreciated (especially as the staff who told us about the closure gave 30 mins warning and was very unsympathetic). The casino was lively and energetic while maintaining a classy, upscale atmosphere. We loved brunch at The Henry, especially the French toast. One inconvenience was that the hotel’s Avis had no rental cars available for our Grand Canyon trip, requiring a 25-minute walk to another location. Book ahead! Overall, a fantastic resort with incredible views, an unbeatable location, and a luxurious atmosphere. We’d absolutely recommend staying here!
