This actually isn't true. The Cosmopolitan, right in the middle of the strip, is famous for the balconies on most of its 3,000 guest rooms and suites. There have been suicides and even drunken falls from Cosmopolitan balconies, but they have been relatively rare. Palms Place also has balconies on almost all of its rooms, as do a large percentage of the rooms at the Signature at MGM Grand. Others include the Grand Lakeview suites at Bellagio, the Skyline Terrace suites at MGM Grand, and the Sky Villas at the Palms. Finally, the hallways of almost all floors of the Luxor pyramid look down on the inside of the building, and could easily be jumped from. They have also had jumpers, but those have been rare.
- kurtisc 8y agoHow do you know so much about Las Vegas hotels?
- nkrisc 8y agoWild guess: they've visited them. Another wild guess: their profession places them in a lot of hotels, either as a guest or for work.
- kurtisc 8y agoIt wasn't a facetious question.
- downandout 8y agoYes, I travel alot (especially to Vegas, mostly for business) and over the years have stayed in most of the room/suites I mentioned.
- james_s_tayler 8y agoI stayed at the Cosmopolitan in a room with a soaking tub overlooking the fountains at the Bellagio. Tell you what if I was thinking of ending it that would be a great way to change my mind. Pretty damn relaxing.
- clubm8 8y agoOut of curiosity do you know approximately how much they run? I spent a summer in a large city once where I had a balcony overlooking downtown, and it was very nice/relaxing to have a morning coffee or evening tea out there. I imagine it would be especially nice on a Vegas night with all that neon.
- downandout 8y agoCasomopolitan is probably the best hotel experience in Las Vegas because of the balconies. Pricing varies wildly depending on what type of room/suite you want and the time of year, but rooms with balconies can often be had for less than $200/nt. Be warned that there are some rooms there that do not have a balcony. The room types of all those that have balconies have “terrace” in the name - if the room type you book doesn’t have that in the name, it doesn’t have a terrace (unless you book a penthouse). Cosmo is also pretty much the dead center of the strip, with Bellagio to one side and Aria to the other. You can view all the room types and book here: https://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/resort/rooms-suites https://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/resort/rooms-suites . I prefer the wraparound terrace suites w/Bellagio fountain view, because they are large (1200sq ft, with a balcony that wraps around the side of the building - nearly 500 sq ft of balcony space) and have perhaps the most striking view in all of Las Vegas, but they are often ~$500+/nt (though sometimes as low as $350). Well worth it IMO, especially if you can write off the expense.

- clubm8 8y agoThanks for the tip. I would be paying out of pocket, so I want to keep it to ~250 (effectively 200 + resort fee). Might be out of my price range. Also they're not part of Caesars OR MGM IIRC? I want to try to stay with 1 to build comps.
- downandout 8y agoSadly, they are not part of the MGM or Caesars system. But they do have a link with Marriott’s rewards program, so you’ll earn points with Marriott. Also, Cosmo is fairly generous in terms of comped room offers, even for people that give them very little play. Make sure you sign up with their player’s club as soon as you get there and attach your card number to your room so you get credit for your full trip spend, not just your casino play. Charge all your meals etc to your room to get points for those as well. After a trip or two, they’ll usually give you a few free nights.
