The $3.9 billion Cosmopolitan resort in Las Vegas is the last major casino resort approved before the Great Recession. It's likely to be the last new resort built for several years, given the dismal state of the U.S. economy and Las Vegas, in general.

The resort opens Wednesday, December 15, 2010. If you're in a Vegas kind of mood for New Year's, the resort is offering a great package, which includes tickets to the Jay-Z/Coldplay concert.
