The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas has been getting positive attention in Las Vegas from almost everyone since the original developer defaulted and Deutsche Bank took over the completion and opening of the casino. From the linkage to Marriott for a database to the use of public art, the resort has managed to generate a lot of attention and opportunities on a budget (if any budget applies when a project approaches $4 billion).

But not everyone is thrilled with The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas especially those who first believed in the project and invested in what was originally intended to be a large number of condominium units that are no longer part of Cosmopolitan Las Vegas.

When representatives for the Cosmopolitan, late last week, sat in front of gaming regulators they declared that of the original 1,800 condominium contracts outstanding when they took over the project, settlements had been reached with the majority. They are no longer offering settlements to holdouts.

According to Cosmopolitan only 216 units have not had their deposits returned. One of the upset investors remaining with contracts to those units appears to be local journalist, celebrity and businessman Robin Leach. Leach took to Twitter with a fury when news of the gaming regulators’ total pleasure with the Cosmopolitan was reported. In response to these Tweets, Cosmopolitan notes: “We can not comment due to pending litigation.”
