of metal framing juts inward (at left, near where the group of palm trees are planted). There is another (north) entrance
(unseen here) at the north end of The Cosmopolitan, which allows easy entrance from the Bellagio and the
pedestrian cross-walk that people use when coming from Paris Hotel and Planet Hollywood's north stairways.
Directly across the boulevard from the Cosmo's center entrance is the front of the Aladdin, then Paris,
Ballys & Flamingo. Treasure Island and Trump's International Tower are seen at the distant bend in the road.
