New Favorite Hotel: The Cosmopolitan

These are a few of my favorite things: fashion, shopping, art, food and Las Vegas. All of my favorite things seem to converge at The Cosmopolitan on the Las Vegas strip. It had me at the gigantic high heel shoe art displays. And the art book vending machines. And the carefully selected shops, including Skins 6|2 Cosmetics and AllSaints Spitalfields. Oh, and the lovely collection of restaurants including Holsteins Shakes and Buns, Jaleo and STK. The gift shop, Monogram, is one of the best hotel gift shops I've ever seen. I only buy necessities at hotel gift shops, but I actually want to buy the unique jewelry pieces at this gift shop. I mean, even the hotel's stanchions are freakin' cute! Yes, I said the stanchions!! Dear Makers of The Cosmopolitan: For lack of a better way to praise your creation, I'll just go with -- you rock!
