It may have been an ideally situated place once upon a time but it's literally in the middle of a building site now. I know work has to be carried out but this is horrendous. There's a 9 billion dollar construction being built which will take until 2009 to complete and the Jockey Club is slap bang in the middle of it all. We had a room facing the Bellagio but couldn't see it for cranes. They start up at 4am and for 3 nights we put up with the most unbelievable noise from a mechanical hammer outside the window (& we were on the 9th floor). I was feeling ill from lack of sleep so my husband requested a move. We were given a room in the main tower (there are 2 towers, Ascot & Derby) which was better but the hammer moved along the building and we heard it again from 6am. We spent the last 3 nights sleeping on the sofa bed with cotton wool in our ears so that we could close the doors on the bedroom and try to get some peace. The pool? It's covered by 2 nets to prevent anything falling from the site and everything's covered in a layer of dust. The corridors inside are being decorated too. I have to say the rooms are fine, well equipped and comfotable but I went for location and wish I'd stayed elsewhere. The car park fills up so if you don't get back before then you have to park in Planet Hollywood across the road and there's a shuttle back.........very inconvenient. We used the Bellagio car park a couple of times and walked back. We have had timeshare for 20 years but we couldn't find anywhere available do booked this as a rental but I'm glad we hadn't used a week for this. It's a shame though, it's hardly their fault that this is happening around them but it's not what you need on holiday is it?.

just a note to say keep a wide berth from the jockey club if you are a timeshare owner as myself stay at polo towers/ chateau maroitt or the carriage house as there is building all around this hotel it is a nightmare you will be wasting your week/points here it is also very run down and should never be listed on interval website as 5 star very missleading, i am writing this review to fore warn all other timeshare owners not to book and stay here dont waste your week and dont waste your points and tranfer fees stay elsewhere!!!!!

Check in was a breeze, no huge lines like at the casinos. Condo was CLEAN. Furniture adequate--King bed seemed new-firm and comfortable. Loved the double doors dividing bedroom and living room/kitchen area. Had absolutely everything we needed. Construction around area was ongoing though we had absolutely no trouble with noise. Front doors of the hotel were closed off and had to enter through the back. Walk to the strip was really short, however, at night it would make you hesitant to walk alone. I didn't see any type of security. Cabs would drop you off, but not pick you up at the hotel due to the construction. Jockey Club did provide a shuttle (no waiting-just hop in) that took you across the street to Planet Hollywood where you could catch a cab. All in all it was a very good experience and I would definitely stay again.

Reserved a stay in a privately owned suite at the Jockey and really enjoyed our stay. First time in Vegas with my mom and brother and we really had the most amazing time. Great place, with a kitchen, living, dining area and comfortable furniture and an awesome location. We'll definitely be back. We didn't mind the construction as our friends were staying at the MGM and the same thing is happening there. Highly recommend the luxury suites. No major casino which was a plus for me, not for my mom who would have been gambling all night. Great and overall it was just a really amazing experience for my family and I.
