We stayed here for two nights on my brother in laws dime since he is a time share holder. I know when your hotel is next to Cosmo it is going to be tough to look spectacular. Jockey Club is older by appearance on the outside, but the inside will surprise you. Cool hallways on your way to your rooms. Lots of gold coloring throughout the hotel. We did not use the pool, but the pool appeared clean and had cool lighting above. The rooms were spacious and felt like a one bedroom apartment, much better than a constricted hotel room. Small kitchen, living room, bed room, and bathroom. Overall the stay was pleasant, we weren't bothered in regards to having to sit through one of their promotions or time share shindigs. The only downfall was no restaurants really near by. You have to walk through the Cosmo to find a restaurant or to gamble. Although it is only 5-7 minutes away tops, its a hassle in the Vegas sense. 24 hour restaurants are few and far between on the Cosmo side, but luckily you are pretty close to Planet Hollywood which is across the street.
