Located on the Strip just south of the Bellagio , The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is one of Sin City's more modern luxury hotels. Rooms are comfortable yet contemporary, thanks to a palette of cool blues and bright whites. Accommodations also house plenty of luxe amenities like spacious, marble-floored bathrooms and separate seating areas. Plus, these are some of the only accommodations in Vegas that offer the option of a balcony or terrace (available in some suite categories). Downstairs in the lobby, the Wicked Spoon brunch buffet earns rave reviews from recent travelers for the delectable dishes served in individual sizes (in fact, nearly all of the Cosmopolitan's restaurants receive two thumbs up). Between meals, take a dip in one of the hotel's three pools, each with a different atmosphere. Recent travelers also praised the hotel's friendly staff and the concierge's helpful knowledge.

Condé Nast Traveler

With a modern vibe and quirky amenities — like cigarette machines that have been repurposed to dispense art pieces — the Cosmopolitan provides a welcome respite from the theme-iness of other hotels on the Strip.

Frommer's

The interior design was envisioned as an art project — a series of curated experiences creating a dramatic whole. The big spectacles will get your attention first: the three-story chandelier with a multilevel bar inside; the video panels on the lobby columns; the 6-foot-tall sculptures of women's pumps in random places.

The typical Vegas kitsch has been swapped out for aggressively modern design and futuristic touches (guests sign in on an iPad). Fanfare aside, rooms are large and feature comfortable, designer furnishings and modern, open bathrooms.

The 8 Best Cosmopolitans In Miami

M iami has no shortage of splendid spirits. From one-of-a-kind martinis to decadent old fashions, residents and visitors alike can explore a range of the hottest cocktails in lounges and bars. Among those decadent libations is the Cosmopolitan, a classic cocktail made with vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice and lime juice. Here, we've compiled a list of our favorites in the city.

Delilah Miami

Spend an evening at Miami's newly opened supper club while sipping The Jojo. Delilah's Cosmopolitan offers a twist to the iconic cocktail made with Ketel One Vodka, St. Germain, prosecco, strawberry and lemon. But if you are craving the classic rendition, ask your server for a traditional cosmopolitan while enjoying the 1920s-inspired Jazz-era ambiance. 301 Brickell Key Drive, Miami, @delilahmiami

What better way to channel Miami's classic glamour than at JW Marriott Miami Turnberry's bar Soff's, where you can indulge in a pre-dinner drink or an elegant nightcap? Made with vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice, lime juice and a Maraschino cherry, Soff's The Chairman's Cosmo pays homage to Frank Sinatra's nickname. Enjoy live music from Thursday through Saturday while sipping on this classic cosmo. 19999 West Country Club Drive, Aventura, @jwturnberry

The Hampton Social Venue

Known for its rose all-day theme, Hampton Social seamlessly transports its guests to the Northeast vacation destination. Complete with an exciting beverage program, one must-try is The Boathouse Spice Cosmopolitan. Combining mezcal with lime and pomegranate, this unique libation is a spicy take on the classic red drink. 900 S Miami Ave., @thehamptonsocial

Take in Toku's modern Asian dishes while enjoying its Toku-Tini. Offering a decadent mix of Stoli raspberry vodka, stoli orange vodka, malibu coconut rum, cranberry juice and fresh lime juice, the Toku-tini is a sweet, fruity and refreshing drink. Pair Toku's rendition of the cosmopolitan with elevated Japanese and Chinese dishes such as rock shrimp tempura, pecking duck, sushi and sashimi. 19575 Biscayne Blvd., STE. 1109 Aventura, @tokurestaurants

The Key Club

Located in Miami's historic Coconut Grove, The Key Club offers a contemporary take on classic American dishes. Complete with a lively atmosphere, sip on The Alias, a sweet and refreshing mix of Tito's vodka, pomegranate, cranberry, sage, lemon and rose. Perfect for both day and night, this rendition of the cosmopolitan incorporates herbal undertones as a flavorful drink for any occasion. 3015 Grand Ave., Coconut Grove, @thekeyclub

Complete with elegantly crafted cocktails and decadent food, The Collab at THesis Hotel embraces tradition and modernity. Created by lead bartender David Lozano, the Cosmic Cosmo is a unique twist on the classic cocktail. This bursting libation is a treat for your tastebuds, made with Atian Gin, tangy yuzu, orange cordial, and cranberry. 1350 S Dixie Hwy, Coral Gables, @thesishotelmiami

G Bar at The Gabriel Miami

Enjoy a vibrant and exotic twist on the cosmopolitan at The Gabriel Miami. Made with dragon fruit, vodka, triple sec and lime juice, the striking drink is a treat and a delightful sensory experience. 1100 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, @thegabrielmiami

Lobby Bar at Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club

Set on Miami Beach, the Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club draws on European inspiration. Complete with an extensive cocktail list inspired by the sea, The Lobby Bar's Infused Ginger Cosmo offers a refreshing mix of ginger, vodka, fresh lime juice, Cointreau, cranberry juice and garnished with a slice of ginger, cayenne pepper and lime skin. Serving as an ideal drink for a pre-dinner drink or post-work or post-dinner nightcap, this Cosmo is a must-try. 3925 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, @cadillahotelmiamibeach

This unassuming little building at the entrance to Petco and Walgreens is barely noticeable, except the last time Kristine C. and I drove by, we noticed an inviting Thrift Store sign! We had to check it out. A travel agency that just doesn't have the clientele anymore, the owners decided to turn most of their office space into a little thrift and consignment store. They have all manner of typical thrift goods: jewelry, toys, records, books, home goods, clothing, decor, and others. Prices are reasonable and typical. The only thing lacking is the selection; they have what they have and that's it. The cashier volunteer that day was very friendly and talked story with us for quite a while. It's worth checking out if you enjoy bargain and treasure hunting. Half their profits go to a local charity.

A Thrift Store Edition My little family and I were driving down the street on Beretania for another errand when a green sign on the left screamed "Thrift Shop, today!" If you currently do business with Cosmopolitan Travel (name is on their building), on the same shopping center (where Petco and Walgreens is) this quaint little thrift store is in the same brick and mortar. The travel agency has long existed for many years and decided to add a little boutique as part of their business venture. The entrance is located on the back side of the boutique/travel agency and has their own mini lot. Drive in to the lot like you're going to Petco. The boutique is rather homey and tiny with an eclectic amount of knick knacks and small trinkets in every corner. Make sure you're looking up and down and in every crevice of this tiny store. Don't forget to look deep into the glass shelves for rare vintage/costume jewelries, pins and such. On the back a small rack of mixed articles of clothing, bags are hung up for perusing. Are you looking for kitchen cups and plates? On the back displays plenty for one to touch and feel. "If you don't buy it today, it may not be here tomorrow." which is true on all rules of treasure hunting. Delicate china's are in store along with shells, Christmas decorations, CD's, movies, 45 RPM records. The price is attractive for every piece you find. Eva was kind enough to tell us about the store she's looking after with her additional stories of history. It made our perusing experience that much more pleasant. I look forward to treasure shopping some more as their store continuously receives more items. They also consign items. Please call for details.

Hitting the road

We prefer to explore a destination at our own pace. Jumping in the (rental) car and roaming the roads without any obligations. We always arrive well prepared in terms of sights and highlights but never have a day-to-day itinerary. Seeing where the day takes us and allowing some time for the unexpected. Enjoy the ride…

Practical information

We research our destination until we know it inside-out. A good preparation is essential to get the most out of that hard-earned vacation time, after all. After our trip, we add advice from locals and our personal experiences to the mix. This results in practical and in-depth destination guides. Time to plan your trip…

What Our Clients Say

“Where do I start… DC is FANTASTIC!!!! She’s the BEST!!!

First off, she is very professional and is extremely detailed, which is what you need when you are going to a place where you have never gone before. She is an experienced traveler/vacationer and she will tell you everything you need to know about the airports, plane rides, taxi cabs/private transportation – all the way to whatever is involved in getting you to your destination so that you will have the best experience. Traveling/Vacationing is her passion & expertise and I am confident in consulting with her about all my traveling/vacation needs.

She helped us (my wife & I) plan our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and I’ll tell you that we had the most absolute best time of our lives. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially for a very important event like our wedding. With DC’s help and guidance, we were prepared for the whole trip and even afterwards when we got back home. She held our hands since the day we met her and we were happy, safe, and confident that she was the best person to have helped us all the way.

You will not be disappointed.

Thanks DC!!! For the best destination wedding – our trip was perfect!!!”

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
