| - I stayed at The Jockey Club for my birthday this month. I get this resort through my timeshare, and I'm soo lucky to have it! I got a whole week there, but only stayed 5days. Be sure you google map directions to the entrance, it is very very hard to find. They have a small sign now on Las Vegas Blvd. in order to see the entrance but look very closely, it's right where The Cosmopolitan entrance is. Although the hotel is literally hidden, it is the best location ever. No need to worry about crowds all through the resort, It's nestled between the Bellagio and the Cosmopolitan in the middle of all the action. Beautiful view, if you request one, you never miss a fountain show. It saves so much money to have a kitchen. Me and my boyfriend cooked breakfast every morning, with some lunches in between. They have a little makeshift grocery store in the resort in case you run out of groceries. And when I say fully equipped I mean fully equipped. There is a HD plasma TV in all the rooms, DVD player, and MP3 player. Walk in closet. Kitchen had every tool needed to make a meal and blended drinks. Full amenities are provided by the cosmopolitan. Access to the pool and casino with an private elevator that connects to it from the jockey club. We went to the cosmopolitan pool because they are currently fixing up their pool by making it bigger and more luxurious. They have a mediocre fitness center in the resort, but it was ok, they're remodeling that too. Hopefully it will be done soon. Be ware of the timeshare sharks in the building. They literally harass you. They do offer free stuff to listen to their presentation for 2hrs, but I was in a hurry to party, I wasn't interested in anything free in exchange for my time. Besides, I already had timeshare there, but they didn't care, they still called, and stopped me in the hallways, and asked me over and over again. Be prepared to say 'no' for as long as it takes. But It didn't bother me too much because I was out and about having fun. So I said no as long as they kept asking. I recommend this place for people that are on a budget for their trip. The downfall of having timeshare room is that you do have to upkeep the room, make the bed, clean the dishes, because they only clean the room once a day to replace towels and sheets and such. You can only request a full cleaning of the room after your third day there, after that, you're on your own unless you want to pay extra for a daily clean up. The cleaning tools (vaccum, broom, sponges, dish soap) are all provided. Still, I enjoyed my stay. Especially all the money I saved! The guest services are very pleasant, the room is fancy, the bed is like sleeping on a cloud. Even though it wasn't a 5star resort, it had all I needed to satisfy my trip. It's like a 2nd apartment almost. I won't be staying anywhere else but The Jockey Club
