Stylish James Bond-Inspired Bar on the Strip Closes for a Remodel

COSMOPOLITAN OF LAS VEGAS — The James Bond-inspired Vesper Bar, one of three cocktail venues to debut at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas when it opened back in 2010, closed for a major remodel of the 24-hour lounge located a few steps from the hotel lobby. Early filings estimate construction work alone will cost $800,000 to overhaul the space, including adding new carpet and furniture, replacing the pearl white bar top, and changing out the face of the bar. The resort pegs a late fall reopening. [Eater Vegas/Vital Vegas]
