Staying at the JC while in town for a conference. Had an exchange deal through my time-share (not the JC or Polo Towers) so the rate was quite good. Very well located on the strip next to Bellagio's, easy walk to the mid-strip area.

LOTS of construction going on right now which completely occludes the entrance. The lobby is pretty bland, but has the benefit of not being smoky like the main hotels. Staff is friendly but not pushy (unlike other timeshare visits I have had). Bonuses include onsite minimart and "hospitality" suite with free movie rentals, games, and popcorn.

The rooms (at least my room this visit) is very nicely appointed, 1-bed with kitchen and walk-in closet. Even with the major construction, I cannot hear a thing while in the room. No view (3rd floor, the tower goes much higher though). All-in-all a great place to stay if you can get a good deal and want to get away from the casinos (at least temporarily =). Would recommend.

Pros: We had a wonderful experience at the Jockey Club. For less than $80 a night we got a one bedroom, one and a half bath condo with a full kitchen and livingroom. It was perfectly clean, and seemed to have been painted recently. Our housekeeper kept the condo immaculate for us. Cons: There is construction going on starting at about 6 in the morning and finishing up around 11 at night. We didn't notice it after awhile, but if you stay in one of the sections closer to the construction it would really be annoying. Our condo afforded absolutely no view - just the wall of the building next door, but maybe that cut down on some of the noise. And anyway, who goes to Vegas to hang out in the room? Another thing was that our room was two elevator rides, a hike, and a staircase from the lobby - quite a trek with luggage.

Got in here for free from a friends timeshare. They stayed at Hilton but in the end would rather had been at the Jockey Club. This place has it all. Refrigerator, stove, microwave, kitchen table with plates, 2 TVS both with DVD players, doors to close off family room area from bedroom, decent radio, walk inn closet. It all seemed kinda strange to me. Not like any hotel- more like my apartment. After 2 days of eating very expensive food was glad just to get some cereal and milk and had dishes I could use the next day. Would be great for Vegas on a budget. or not. Bed was 2-3/5. Would now be my # 1 choice. I didn't check out the pool though zoo don't know about a summer trip.

The room was very spacious and pleasant. We were able to explore the whole las vegas experience without any hassles, as the location was prime to all las vegas fun. It was refreshing to be in a facility free of all the cigarrette smoke, which usually drowns the casino-hotels on the strip. I am looking forward to many more stays at the lovely penthouse.
