Cosmopolitan announces lineup of stores, boutiques

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas debuts its marquee on the Las Vegas Strip on Aug. 3, 2010.
Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2010 | 10:19 p.m.
The Las Vegas Strip will soon be home to more high-end retail brands, thanks to the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas’ newly announced lineup of stores and boutiques.
The Cosmopolitan released its list of nine luxury brands Wednesday, all of which are new to the Las Vegas market. The resort described the collection of shops as avant-garde and eclectic.
The stores include British brand AllSaints Spitafields, women’s retailer Beckley, CRSVR Sneaker Boutique, denim retailer DNA2050, Molly Brown’s Swimwear, Dutch housewares boutique Droog, eyewear retailer Retrospecs & Co., Stitched men’s apparel and Skins 62 Cosmetics.
“Retail in the city has become expected, but our thoughtful merchandising and unique mix is specifically curated for the brand and unlike anything that has come before it. The experience at the boutiques is an extension of our commitment to creating a sense of discovery for the guest,” Cosmopolitan Chief Executive John Unwin said.
Located at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Harmon Avenue, the 36,000-square-foot retail area at Cosmopolitan is more of a small collection of stores than a mall. Visitors will be able to access the shops from the pedestrian walkway that connects Planet Hollywood and CityCenter.
The $3.9 billion, 2,995-room resort-casino between the Bellagio and CityCenter is planning a soft opening Dec. 15 with a grand opening celebration on New Year’s Eve weekend.
The resort debuted its first TV advertisement on Sunday night with the slogan, “Just the right amount of wrong.”

More high-end retail space... that's something what strip really needs.
like the LV Strip needs more McDonald's, Denny's, Walgreen's, & CVS'.
Why are some opposed to competition? If business people invest their money to open stores or build manufacturing plants, it benefits all of us in terms of employment and choices. That's a good thing.
COSMO will be reducing room rates in Jan. This is really going to attract customers to COSMO. Balconies and high end shops. How about adding some HIGH end Restaurants where the consumer can be RIPPED off even more.
Chunky says:
It takes guts to open any business in this economy and on the Strip these days.
It just occurred to Chunky that the Las Vegas Strip is becoming somewhat of a "Strip Mall" with more retail stores than casinos and restaurants. Do people come here to shop?
Frankly the Chunkster doesn't know how any of these high-end stores are making money; are there still enough people out there buying $4000 purses and $25,000+ watches to keep them open?
Hallelujah if there is but Chunky doesn't know many who can!
That's what Chunky thinks!
Very interesting mix of retail. It's a sign of retail sophistication, and it gives me a reason to visit. I wish the Cosmopolitan the best of luck.
Never heard of any of these retailers...
Neither have I. Not one. Droog?
Las Vegas is also the Luxury Shopping Capital of the World. I hope all our retailers are successful since Las Vegas is so much more than just Gaming.
The Best Entertainment, The Best Shopping, The Best Gaming - Go Las Vegas!
To Newnvres:
You forgot to mention that we have The safest neighborhoods, The best educations system, The best drivers, The most compassionate police officers, etc. - Go Las Vegas
Great to see they're adding retailers that the other resort malls don't have. That'll be great for destination shoppers and locals looking for something new.
They flew under the radar for a while, but I have to say I like what Cosmopolitan is doing so far. Definitely wish them well.
Oh boy, more shopping! At least they have some new names. Good luck! I hope the tourism numbers continue to go up, even if only in small increments.
Whoop-dee-doo!
I wish them all well, but none of them excites me.
Too bad they don't open stores with reasonable pricing structures. Perhaps then they'd have a chance of making it. As for these designer stores, well they're nice to browse thru but only someone with money to burn actually buys anything. I predict they'll be gone as soon, if not sooner, than their lease expires.
What,no BEBE store??? (j/k)
I looked up some of these retailers online. Droog has got to be my favorite. They have a salad bowl for $450. No really. You can also buy a zipper for $250. Yes, I said a zipper. They also have books ranging from $65 to $85 and furniture (because you know everyone shops for furniture while on vacation) that is "price-upon-request".
So now we all know what they mean by "Just the right amount of wrong."
Unless you live close or can ship it home,there is only so much stuff you can bring back on the 'plane.
The talk radio nuts, and Vegas area kooks drive off the sophisticated European tourists.
"Just the right amount of wrong."
Geez, talk about executive subliminal, public confessions... or is that the foundation of thought for all of MGM's recent, pitter-patter brainstorms.
Anyway...I wish MGM luck with the latest of their "right amount of wrong" ideas.
MGM??? architect...you must be mistaken, MGM has no part in the completion of this project. It is Deutsche Bank that owns and will be opening this exciting new casino.
sustainebel, you're right! These places are all starting to look the same to me!
Thanks for correcting me, but what does this mean?
Are MGM's "wrong ideas" contagious?
If Cosmo is next door to CityCenter and Bellagio is next door to Cosmo, the Bellagio is next! Oh no!
RUN SUSTAIN-ABLE!!! The LV Strip has a bad idea PLAGUE!!!
