    THE top four floors of the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas have been vacant since the day the casino opened in 2010. But as part of a five-year capital investment plan by the Blackstone Group that shifts the hotel's focus from culinary destination to casino hotspot, they've finally been furnished and opened to the public.

    Well, sort of. The 21 Boulevard Penthouse suites that now fill those top floors have balconies overlooking the Bellagio fountains and Vegas Strip, designs by Adam Tihany and US$56,000 bottles of Louis XIII Black Pearl cognac - and a minimum buy-in of US$1 million at the Reserve, the Cosmopolitan's high-roller lounge.
