I have stayed in Las Vegas at several other time share exchange locations. The Jockey Club was not the best of those resorts but it has the best location...even with the construction next door! You do have to walk through a construction covered tunnel to get to The Strip but that is only half a normal city block. There are two towers and I was in the front tower on the 7th floor. My view was of the pool below and a concrete wall. But, I did not go to Las Vegas to look at the view from my rooms. Plenty of room in the 2 bedroom, bathrooms were fair size and kitchen had all that I needed for breakfast and snacks. There was some wear and tear on the carpets and the shears in the living room had large tears in them.

Buffet at The Wynn was the best I tried with Paris second and Bellagio champagne brunch at third. I always try to go to Emeril's Fish house at MGM and it did not disappoint on this trip. PFChangs is across the Strip from the Jockey club along with Planet Hollywood casino and shops. Bellagio is next door. Paris, Bally's, Ceasar's and Monte Carlo are close walks. MGM and New York are more of a hike. The Deuce bus is the best was to cover the length of the Strip and there is a stop for this to the left of the construction walkway that you exit from the Jockey Club.

Unless you plan to go off the Strip or tour more of the area (Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, etc.), you will not need a car when you stay at the Jockey Club.

Visited Las Vegas the w/o 5/11/09. I stayed at the Jockey Club. The resort was very clean and well maintained. Location could not be better with the Belliago right next door. Room was nice size with full kitchen and bedroom had a nice view of the fountains at the Belliago. Pool area was nice but if you are a fan of the sun then this is probably not the place for you. However, if you want a nice size room right on the strip this place cannot be beat.

P.S. As far as construction noise I did not hear any I also understand that the view on the other side of the building is a wall.

We just got back from Jockey Club. Stayed there from May 9-May 16. It is a nice place. The rooms are clean, the air is cold and the staff were helpful. We were able to get a room with a view, which is a must. If not, you're looking at a brick wall. There is some noise in the mornings around 5-6am. But, it doesn't last long. This isn't a 5 star hotel, so if you want that go next door to the Bellagio. But, if want a smaller hotel with easy check in and check out, no lines for elevators, this is the place. You are in walking distance of millions of places to shop and eat. The Earl Grey Sandwich place at Planet Holleywood had good breakfast and lunch for about $5-$7. Not bad . There's also a lot of other good restaurants in Planet Holleywood. Bill's is a nice smaller casino to gamble at with lower limits. Main thing we didn't like at Jockey Club was timeshare presentation. We agreed but final sales person was just rude. No need for that. And, if you want a great pool, this is not the place.

I wold like to thank the staff and especially like to thank Yvonne for helping make our trip so special as we saw multiple shows, including Jay Leno, CMA Awards show , The George Strait Artist of the decade show , Steve Wyrick show , KA at MGM , and renewed our wedding vows at Little Chapel OF Flowers , ( Which was a secret to my wife ). Every thing was perfect including our room. THANK YOU SO MUCH JOCKEY CLUB !!!!
