    Thanks. You are correct....first time staying there.

    Second part of the question is no. I emailed KS at Cosmo and he referred me to a host that pretty much matched my MLife offer. If you’re interested there is a thread going on here where you can do the same.

    Thanks. There’s something very strange about that place. I said it earlier and for the life of me, I can’t explain it. I lost 4K at Luxor and I was pissed at myself. I ended up losing a small amount at the very beginning at Cosmo but I didn’t sweat any of it. It’s almost like you forget that’s its real money. I was happy from the moment I came and was the same way until I left. It’s a positive aura and that’s what I really like!!!!

    I loved your trip report. It is nice to know that I am not the only dice-warrior who digs in and keeps going. I am just glad things worked out well for you. I am waiting for that to happen to me ;)

    Great report!

    What's your standard craps bet if you don't mind me asking?

    When someone else throws the dice. 3 units on the place bets (2) plus pass line with odds.

    When I’m throwing the dice it’s 4 units plus pass line with odds.

    Thanks.

    A few things about Cosmo craps tables.

    Cosmo craps DOES start at $10 on most mornings. They quickly up them to $15 as the table fills up.

    Wednesday is usually their slowest day and you can even find a $10 table at night.

    The pit boss adjusts table minimums up and down. According to how many people are playing at the craps table.

    I haven't stayed at Cosmo yet, but I love the vibe there! It just feels special--unique.

    Glad you ended up with a winning trip!!

    Great report - we were at Cosmo the same time.

    Seems I gotta learn to play Craps. Next time I'm gonna give bubble craps a go.

    Thanks for reading.

    I’m glad you picked Nomad. It’s only a 20 minute walk to Cosmo....sneak in over and give them some slot play. ParkMGM slots are really tight.

    Really??? I’m always up to meeting fellow VMBers. I was actually hoping to meet someone to treat for drinks and a meal. I threw away $150 in food and beverage.

    Don’t worry about learning bubble craps. Half the time I played....I was teaching people how to play. Craps players are the friendliest.

    Thanks for reading!!!

    Sounds like a plan for next time - we left Vegas also the same day - different airlines though - not sure I will give Swoop a try - we're only about 5 minutes from Pearson.

    Based on your report....it's highly likely you'll be hanging out at cosmo again.

    Cosmo has one of my fave slots-Sherlock Holmes!

    I check their rates....when it comes down to my budget, I’ll be all in.

    I’m a craps player too, just a low budget one:).

    I’m surprised that you didn’t comment on the 3 royals. I would assume that they are pretty common playing 10 times UX?

    Thanks for reading!!!

    I’m happy Swoop went smoothly for you; my Vegas experience with them was really bad though the Hamilton portion I have no complaints.

    Cosmo is my happy place.
