Cosmopolitan has reopened its high-limit slot room after a five-month renovation.<\/p>\n

The enlarged slot room boosts capacity from 65 to 110 machines, a 69% increase, if you catch our drift.<\/p>\n

Beyond the interior design tweaks (wait for it), the renovated space now boasts the casino industry’s first two $5 million linked progressives: Two Dragon Link machines share one $5 million jackpot, Phoenix Link and Lightning 10 Year Storm share a second $5 million jackpot.<\/p>\n

T-shirts from M00nshot<\/a> have gotten so freaking expensive, but we’re pretty sure we can write this one off on our taxes now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cosmo’s high-limit room closed Feb. 23, 2026 and reopened July 9, 2026.<\/p>\n

While the renovation was happening, high-limit machines were available in the high-limit table games room and The Talon Club, a fancy high-limit lounge you should visit just to see how the other half lives.<\/p>\n

Your underwhelm is duly noted.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The aforementioned interior design changes include what seems to be an attempt at a jungle theme of some sort? That question mark indicates we aren’t sure that’s what they were going for, and if that was the goal, we aren’t sure why they would do that.<\/p>\n

There’s quite a bit of leopard print carpeting at the slot room’s entrances. One swath extends into the main casino, perhaps meant to serve a wayfinding purpose?<\/p>\n

Nobody at MGM Resorts could tell us the thinking behind this. We’ll just go with “it’s whimsical!”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The new chairs have animals on the back. Other than the carpeting and chairs, that’s the extent of the theming. There’s no discernible cohesion or point, but new is new, presumably.<\/p>\n

Somewhere between Victorian natural-history illustration, maximalist jungle print and luxury-fashion wallpaper. Cosmopolitan: Just the right amount of WTF.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The question on everyone’s mind, of course, is whether Cosmo will offer cookies in the revamped slot space. The cookies were at one time a sweet perk for players, but following the purchase of Cosmopolitan by MGM Resorts, cookies weren’t available on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

We’re told there will be snacks, eventually, but the cookies won’t be back. Our money’s on trail mix.<\/p>\n

That swirl is giving Quad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You remember Quad, now Linq.<\/p>\n

Enjoying episode 461 of the @360Vegas<\/a> podcast, and the question arose about the cost of rebranding Quad (formerly the Imperial Palace) to Linq. The cost was $2.3 million, the Quad swirl can still be found inside Linq. One of the reasons for the rebrand? \u201cQuad\u201d is \u201cfour,\u201d\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/6m1BMuzkli<\/a><\/p>\n
