"Right off the check-in area, Vesper is the Cosmopolitan’s ever-reliable, always-open lobby bar. With mirrored ceilings and boldly patterned carpet, the setting nods to a retro Vegas vibe — and the drinks follow suit. Choose from a list split between “classic” and “reimagined” cocktails, like the namesake Vesper martini or the inventive Desert Island, made with Rayu mezcal, sherry, curaçao, and lime." - Jennifer Smith
"Praised for great atmosphere, exceptional service and outstanding menus, Vesper Bar at the Cosmopolitan is a dependable spot for both traditional cocktails and creative riffs; try cocktails made with their house Ford’s Gin and don’t be surprised if bartenders will mix off‑menu requests like a Red House." - Eater Staff
"Everything’s just sexier here, and that’s not an accident: inspired by owner Damien McGee’s parents’ romance and that between James Bond and Vesper Lynd, the space was “designed for cozy elegance, with velvet seating and semi-private nooks that naturally invite couples to relax and connect and provides [a] sense of your own space without feeling cut off.” Expect fresh flowers, dramatic artwork, rich textures, smooth, balanced cocktails and light but satisfying bites (try the truffle tots), plus free three-hour parking that makes lingering easy." - Su-Jit Lin
"One stop on a multi-venue 'Cocktail Circuit' where guests sample signature race-week drinks as part of a guided bar crawl around the hotel, offering cocktail-focused programming and themed libations." - Ryan Slattery
"The Vesper Bar is like Casino Royale come to life, albeit with a playfully upgraded mid-century undertone, after a 2020 revamp. In fact, it’s just as you’d imagine the alluring lobby lounge of The Cosmopolitan to look like—everything’s over the top, from mirrored tiles to wavy gold accents, adorned with photos of Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, and Jane Fonda. The menu features four exclusive Rare Character Whiskeys, from straight bourbon to Kentucky rye." - Rachel Chang, Andrea Bennett
