If you're standards do not rise above that of a run down Holiday Inn this place would be fine. Unfortunately for the Jockey Club I have traveled quite extensively and stayed in some finer resorts and hotels. My exact words to describe this hotel I could not post.
I am a timeshare owner and traded an ocean front unit at a five star gold crown resort in Cabo San Lucas into the Jockey Club and I recieved a second floor room with a view of the wall of the cosmopolitan and sewer pipes (along with the smell) coming from the first floor of the Jockey Club. I immediately contacted the front desk upon entering the room but was told there was nothing they could do for me. I spent two days trying to contact Lori Elie the "resort manager" but was consistenly told she was out of the office. I finally left a message for her along with my complaints, my room number and cell number but she never bothered to return my call. This place is a dump....the smell of the "mini market" took me back to a mom and pop corner store in Mexico (which I love...IN MEXICO!!) Unfortunately the prices (A six pack of budwieser was $13) were enough to shock me back to reality and realize I was just in a dump in Vegas. The "walkway to the srip"is about 100 yards of a dark smelly alleyway that is used for delivery trucks and apparently time share salesmen that are are ready and willing to take advantage of people leaving the Jockey club who they know are not happy with the place. We were approached in the alley by a guy that worked for another timeshare hotel, apparently the catch phrase is..."how do you like the jockey club" then when you begin to tell them how much it sucks they offer to put you up in their hotel for a mere "90 minute presentation" The concerige for the Jockey Club happened to walk out the door, noticed what was going on and a screaming and yelling match between the two insued, apparently they are well aware of the inferiorities of the Jockey Club (JC) and threatened by losing guests, we just walked away. We tried to go to the "spa" one day to try and maybe salvage something good from this place, we attempted to sit in the jacuzzi but the chlorine level was so high it immediately burned our eyes, we opened the door that encloses the jacuzzi to try to get some fresh air just so we could stay in the room but soon after getting in noticed our skin was either being bleached or chemically burned. (not sure which) We then went to the pool which was cold (mind you the JC is surrounded by tall buildings, or as they like to say "nestled" and barely see's the light of day. The liner of the pool was blue, but the bottom was brown, pretty sure it wasn't made that way, I have seen nicer pools at a holiday inn. The "view" of the Bellagio they tout is only obtained from the top floors on one side of course and I suspect only reserved for those who are most likely to purchase a timeshare from this dump, otherwise you're view is of a wall or the "walkway to the strip"...a dark alley. I'm guessing I got the room I got because I am already a timeshare owner and I declined to attended the "owners meeting" for those of you not familiar, thats where they try to get you to buy another timeshare or upgrade the one you have. The JC should have taken the offer from The Cosmoplitan so they could have been torn it down and made better use of the space.
