Vegas 🐠 - I am planning a two night vegas trip in March where I plan to use points. I was originally just planning to book the Cosmo (most expensive option) but in terms of $/night and cost of points the Westin provides the best value by a considerable bit. Is the cosmo worth it? Or should I book the Westin.. we’re talking $100 more a night if I were using cash but points are twice as much at Cosmo.
