The Jockey Club

first comes all the negatives. do not be fooled with all the fake five star positive comments placed by sapphire time share and the other company’s that own the jockey club! i like the rest of the honest posts here have been rooked into something that no longer exists. the jockey club (found out to late) has been sold out for years, and being duped into las vegas as a «home base.» i can not book a room here for almost 3 years, let any where else in the sapphire realm.
do not waste your time trying to recoup, if you have signed up (for any time share company using this building for your home base.) we are currently setting up a class action lawsuit here in california. we want to hear from anyone in the usa who wishes to join us. please contact us at
and leave your name, contact info (email preferred) and which company you are currently in dispute with. we have the ability to include multiple timeshare company’s
with that said. if you are thinking of going to las vegas for the free trip we say, go for it. a free weekend in vegas is great. but!!! only buy into timeshare if you want months and months of no communication from them. ask your salesman about availability of vacation inventory (less then 20% ownership in any property they own) the fine print they do not expect you to read that states, you do not receive what they promise (lie to you) unless it is in writing.
and the free trips and extra weeks that they do promise in writing (i am still waiting, after 5 months) i could write a book here, but you get the idea. so lets end this note with the positives about the jockey club and all the timeshare company’s working out of las vegas.

If i could give negative stars I would!!! I tried to add someone on the list and couldn’t remember my number from 2 years ago and the Front Desk Milli told me «you should have changed your number with us a long time ago so thats you fault» and then kept hanging up on me!
Never in life had i needed to deal with such a rude person!!! This place needs to be demolished!!!
I am beyond offended! She wouldn’t even take the rest of my information!!!
WORST SERVICE EVER!!!

The location is great being right on the strip and in between Bellagio and Cosmopolitan. However we stayed in room 1014 a 1 bedroom unit ull kitchen. The bed is worn and the couch bed smells like urine. I’ll never stay here again.

Me and my friend went there for 2 day stay place was great everything you need in room is there very clean people are very nice loved the pool area free computers to you it may be hidden behind cosmopolitan casino but its worth going 2 in the heart of the strip I will be going back for longer time

I stayed here last week, I was not happy with service I got, the lady who checked us in was not helpful. She would not let checked in because my friend book the room for us. Although we had the confirmation number via hotwire and my name listed on it, she should not be in the customer service at all. Imagine you are coming from Singapore with your family, and we cannot checked in though he had our confirmation.
DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL under any circumstances, I rather pay $ 100 or even $ 200 more and book the Bellagio had I known this. I was so Upset that she yelled out to call the security on us.

Came back for the 2^nd time for my honeymoon, wonderful staff as always, these people bust ass for u, Elias the valet is awesome. Love love, great view of bellagio and the strip, always my favorite secret spot on the strip.

Found out about this place a few years ago. I love it. The staffs are friendly I had no problem getting my car out of valet (5bucks a day) the rooms are pretty big and so affordable. Complimentary donut/​coffee/​popcorn in the store inside the lobby. Pool is on the 2^nd floor along with jacuzzi, sauna, fitness center and the cafeteria. There’s also a bbq area. I love how this hotel is conveniently close by to planet Hollywood and right next door to Cosmo. They give you free tickets to shows if u give them about an hour of your time. I’ve stayed in a 2 bed suite and a 1 bed at my last visit. Great for groups and if you need extra bed they have a pullout sofa bed. Full size fridge, stove and a laundry room down the hall. I have nothing negative to say about this place. It’s not too fancy shmancy but with the price you pay it worth it.

**UPDATE **
The concierge is run by the Sapphire Resort timeshare not Jockey Club. Went in and spoke with someone who works there and he apologized, gave me some show tickets and assured me he would handle it so I hope he does. Still can’t believe that happened.
I called to inquire about tickets since I was told to pick them up at this location. They transfered me to the concierge. First I got hung up on. Called again and some chick with an accent rudely started in on me saying hunny, in a condescending tone then my phone lost service. I called again and said I have tickets to pick up, but need to know the date and time of the event. She interrupted me and said u need to come in for tickets and stop bothering us were working and hung up on me! The definition of her job is to help me with exactly what I needed help with. I couldn’t even get a Manger on the phone. This place is horrible with horrible customer service. Kept me from making any reservations there ever again and will spread the word. Place shouldn’t even be open anymore.

We usually stay here and don’t have a problem, but today service was horrible. Waited more than an hour for our room to be ready. I’m pretty sure contract stated the room would be at 4. We didn’t get to our room until a little after five. If we would have known we would have went out to eat or something.
The two ladies that were there on ³⁄₂₆ around 4−5pm were not very pleasant. The only person who gave us great customer service was the same gentleman that helped us on our last visit. His name was Jesus Munoz. Just want to say thank you for making sure we had a great trip!

Well I don’t know who the people are who are getting roped into time shares but we had a great experience.
Decides on the Jockey Club because rooms all over vegas were about 300 a night. So glad we stayed here. It’s right on the strip. It’s QUIET and well accomodated.
Definitely would stay here again. As a note… if you think you are getting something for free you haven’t been around the block very long. Just book a room here and stop winning contests haha

As noted in other reviews the JC is a tad outdated but clean, comfortable, and comparatively inexpensive as compared to its neighboring hotels on the strip. I had a nice suite with a large living room, full kitchen (which I did not use) and Comp coffee (which I did use). Their hospitality center also had coffee and popcorn in the afternoon. My only issue was my wireless phone was basically useless on the 3^rd floor (AT&T). Not the hotel’s fault but be aware and book a higher floor. Yea I would return here…

Our recent AirBnB was located on the 10^th floor of The Jockey Club Hotel, overlooking the Bellagio water fountain. I was slightly hesitant when my brother said he booked this for us, because I have never heard of this place before and was worried about the quality/​space of the room. As soon as we walked into the 2bedroom/​2 full bath suite… I was quite blown away– to my surprise there was more than enough space!
Again, our reservation was booked under
AirBnb and for those of you that aren’t familiar with that, it’s basically a website where people post their homes/​apartments for people to rent while the they are away. Is so much cheaper than staying at a hotel because the pricing is based by the owner and plus you get all the amenities that the hotel has to offer. Although this is an older hotel, they have a pool, gym and jacuzzi to use. The jockey club is like a timeshare building and the cool thing is that it’s connected to the Cosmopolitan so you basically go through the Cosmo to get to the connecting elevator for JC.
I really enjoyed our stay at JC. The beds were comfy and our specific suite was very modern, big and clean. It had a combination of carpet and ceramic tile. There was a huge living room with dinning and kitchen that opened up to everything. Everyone knows you only need a comfy bed and bathroom to shower in, but other than that you don’t need to go spend hundreds and hundreds on a fancy-​shmancy room. I highly recommended booking your next Vegas stay through AirBnb!

SCAM ALERT!!!
This is not for the actual hotel as I have not stayed there or for the people that work there but just the timeshare presentation that I personally got roped into on the radio acting as though I won a game.
Guess even I can become a sucker. Driving home from Vegas I hear on the radio a game and I have the answer so I call up and get swindled into a comeback package deal. You know, 4days/​3nights, show tickets, dinner, slot card, $ 100visa card
Really thought I actually won something on the radio for once. As I never do anything like this. So I do a little research and realize it’s for a timeshare which were not interested in or need and then I checked good old Unilocal and read from the poor souls who already had to fight their way out of the timeshare presentation where people will not take no for an answer.
So I call up and cancel which we were told we can do within 7 days and it had only been one however they say they cannot credit back our card but instead will send us a check in the mail in 30 – 45 business days?
Seems really weird and unethical and I’m going to call my credit card company and see what I can do about it but in the meantime I wanted to leave this Unilocal review and join all the others who are warning you please stay away from this scam!!!
You’ve been warned

What’s so great about this place? Well. it’s
+ Cheap — It’s not fancy smancy like all your other Strip hotels but it’s WORTH the price.
+ Great Location — Literally in the middle of Cosmos — we always use the Cosmos taxi line to go out. Next to Bellagio and across from Paris. Seriously it’s a hidden gem.
+ Facilities — The rooms come equipped with a full kitchen. You want to bake? They’ve got everything you need (minus the food).
+ Service — The people here are just so nice! When we were leaving they let us leave our luggage for storage for the day and were trying to help us find a way to the airport.
We stayed here with ~20 people and had 3 rooms. Unfortunately they weren’t able to guarantee all the rooms on the same floor but we managed to get 2 across from each other. We got a 2 bedroom — which also includes a pull out couch so you can fit probably 7 people in. You can also request for an extra bed.
Oh and FYI there’s a door that leads from the Cosmo casino to the Jockey club — it’s near some of the slots just ask around. :)

I have stayed at the Jockey Club many times. The location can’t be beat, smack dab in the middle of the Strip, nestled between the Bellagio and Cosmopolitan. And if you ask nicely when you check in and it’s available, you’ll get a view of those fabulous Bellagio fountains. But even if you don’t win that lottery, I hope you’re not in Vegas to stay in your room!
I feel as though I must address some of the comments written by some reviewers here.
Two main points are very important. First, too many reviews talk about being roped into timeshare presentations and getting snagged into long, haranguing and abusive presentations in an effort to buy a timeshare at the Jockey Club. Take note: The people who do this are NOT selling the Jockey Club, which sold out years ago. They are selling membership in a dubious vacation club. The don’t represent the Jockey Club. They don’t work for the Jockey Club. They simply rent space in a booth opposite the front desk. I know this for a fact, and that fact can easily be verified.
Second, there was a major renovation just a couple of years ago, and the rooms look nothing like many of the old photos shown on Unilocal.Towels are changed and trash is emptied daily, and a full cleaning is provided for stays of a week. While the current décor may not be everyone’s taste (whatever is?), it’s not some of the old stuff seen here, and isn’t even the old horse-​themed upholstery from years ago, when I first started staying there. The photos that are correct are the ones with red and gold.
I can’t think of a better place to stay on the Strip — for the price, which is unbelievably reasonable, you get a whole apartment, with a full kitchen and free parking. I don’t know what will happen with the free parking in the future, now that MGM has set off their firestorm about charging for parking. Other hotels are likely to follow suit, and it all depends on what kind of agreement they have with the Cosmopolitan. Time will tell.
Just stay away from those predators in the booth, and you’ll have little reason to complain!

This time share is a joke, filthy deceiving sales staff shows the true color of greed and dishonesty. Do not be tricked and thinking the so called gifts for sitting through their time share are actually worth anything, you have to purchase drinks for the comedy show tickets (those tickets are found on the streets to pass out), restaurant certificates through
is not worth anything where you must payout of your pocket, free 3 nights hotel stay is a mail in requires you to pay a deposit, casino play money is a bogus.
Worst of all, rude sales staff don’t take a no for answer, be prepared to fight your way out of there with exhaustion.
Stay away !!

First of all– If you’re coming for the «timeshare presentation» to get your «free Disneyland tickets,» be prepared to be annoyed. I am actually interested in purchasing Timeshare, but not from these guys. Pushy and rude. As soon as they have an inkling that you aren’t interested in purchasing right then, they get mad. You’re messing with their commission and they don’t bother to hide it.
On to the rooms. Sure, if you purchase with Jockey Club you have access to RSI for better resorts and suites. but part of the perk to purchasing timeshare is your actual home base. In this case, I was far from impressed with their rooms. Extremely dated, which is part of the «charm» of this original building that was put on the strip when there was practically nothing else. I get it. But seriously. the rooms could use a huge remodel. With all the money they got selling their parking lot to the Cosmo, I would think they could have modernized the rooms a little bit. You won’t find a 2 or 3 bedroom suite on the strip for these prices, especially during huge Vegas events. And the view of the Bellagio fountains is a nice perk. But for a «suite,» I just wouldn’t choose this spot. The tub in the master bedroom is nothing special, normal size tub like you can find in a regular hotel room.
And if you’ve read any of my reviews on hotel rooms. White blankets are my thing. White blankets tell a lot about a room. If you have to have some dark patterned blankets on the beds, I get a bad vibe. Those things can hide a lot. Any property that can have stark white blankets are their beds scores way more points in my book.
We won’t be purchasing from the Jockey Club. Will instead wait and probably end up going with Hilton or Marriott.

I stayed here for a week with my family as part of a timeshare agreement. We had a two bedroom place with a kitchen and living room.
Regarding the room, it felt a bit old and dingy but you’re not really in Vegas to stay in your room for too long, so I guess I didn’t mind as much. The master bedroom and walk-​in closet were ridiculously large, so you can definitely lounge out there. The other bedroom was smaller but it still had a TV there too.
The in-​room wifi was pretty bad. It seemed to kick me off every so often and I’d have to re-​login. The connectivity was also spotty at best. I sometimes found myself connecting to the Cosmopolitan Wifi despite their weak signal.
The downstairs has a hospitality lounge where you can get free popcorn (delicious, buttery popcorn), free coffee, and access to their business computers and printers. I found the computers and printers to be useful when it came time to print show tickets and airline boarding passes.
There are some shuttles that go off campus to various places, like the Premium Outlets South and Fremont. Check the schedule for more details because they don’t run everyday and they run at different times.
The location of the building itself is interesting. It’s a small building nestled next to the Cosmopolitan. In fact, there is a way to get into the Cosmopolitan building without going outside, but it’s a little tricky to find.
From the outside you have to go down a long alleyway to get to the Jockey Club front door. The alleyway feels a little sketchy and it stinks because there are pipes from the sewer or something. I find that walking on the provided walkway to the Strip was better.
Anyway, would I stay here again? Maybe. The location is really nice since it’s right across the street from Planet Hollywood, right next to Cosmopolitan and the Bellagio, and just overall can easily access most things on the Strip.

«The seminar hasn’t started yet… But I’m not interested in a timeshare at ALL. Waste if my time but I have to attend other wise I’d have to pay for the comp room in Excalibur.»
Above is the review i was writing up while in the waiting room LOL… i didnt get to finish since one of the representatives called me in.
Anyways, long story short — they got me. Yes i purchased a timeshare. The deal was toooo good to be true. Since i’m young, single no kids, why not? Definitely worth it in the long run. Their motto «Life is short, vacation matters.» True… I want to travel and the best way to do so at an affordable price is owning a timeshare. I’ve traveled to a few places but now why not stay in 5star resorts and hotels.
Everything is done through an app, how convenient is that. RCI will even help you find deals on airfare. You can rent out your room or sell it.
I’m still getting second thoughts about it, but at the end i’m glad I made the right choice.
I look forward to traveling around the world!!!
Less the one star because it stank — it smelled like someone just took out the trash and the process takes 3+hours.

My boyfriend and I stayed here on our last Vegas trip through a promotion with a timeshare program. Among the options we had for our promotion, I think this was the best one because of its location (the others were Alexis Park, Rumor, Hard Rock and Tuscany), which are a few blocks off the Strip). Luckily, we had a 1-​bedroom suite, so the room was very spacious and adequately clean. There is a living room with an L-​shaped sofa, coffee table, and TV, a dining area, a kitchen that’s fully-​stocked with all the cooking equipment you’d need, a bathroom with a shower/​tub, and a bedroom with a walk-​in closet and TV. We requested a room with a view, which is important to remember when you’re checking in, otherwise we probably would’ve been stuck with a room facing the Cosmo. We «lucked out» with a view of the Bellagio fountains, which is actually partially obstructed by the parking structure that divides the two properties since the Jockey Club only has 4 floors. The hotel is divided into two «towers» (how can a 4-​floor building be considered a tower?), which makes it a bit confusing to walk through the whole complex from one end to another, especially if you want to get to the gym or pool. As a hotel guest, you have access to one of the pools and a parking level at the Cosmopolitan (with a parking pass), neither of which we took advantage of. My boyfriend and I ended up parking at the Bellagio and walking over.
The absolute worst part of this stay was walking between the Strip and the building. You have to walk through an alleyway adjacent to the Cosmo, which has the vents for what smells like their sewage, trash, and pools. It was a nightmare getting through this alley because of the mix of horrible stench you’d experience walking to and from your hotel room.
Aside from that, the location is great and the hotel is quaint, definitely not the glamor you’d see in pictures from one of the 4– or 5-​star hotels on the Strip. The ceilings are surprisingly low, quite fitting of its name. The walls are adorned with old paintings of jockeys with their horses. The pool is outdoors and small, and there is only one four-​person jacuzzi that is awkwardly located in the gym. Clearly, the jacuzzi was also built for a «jockey club.» My boyfriend is 6′ 2″ and had to hunch over in the jacuzzi room because the ceiling was, like, 5′ 10″.
Upon check-​in, we received a bunch of useless tickets for shows that we would never pay to see (or even for free). We attended our timeshare presentation on Sunday, and even though you are warned that it will take 120 minutes, be prepared to stay much longer than that. My boyfriend and I were able to skip the tour because we were already staying at the property, yet our presentation lasted about 125 minutes, so I cannot imagine how much longer it would’ve been for the other poor suckers who had to take the tour of the property. The sales associates are pushy and use classic salesman pitches to try to make you spend money on something you really wouldn’t normally buy because it’s a «one-​time only offer!» Moreover, beware of their deceiving $ 100 «promotional slot play.» What it really means is you get a certificate of $ 100 to play at one of 12 designated slot machines at the Best Western Casino Royale (which also mysteriously and coincidentally smells like sewage inside, by the way) that do not actually distribute money to you (even if it says you won $ 10) unless you are one of the «very lucky winners» to get a random combination in the slot machine that wins you a couple thousand dollars. It’s a total scam and not worth the 120 minute presentation.
I would only recommend this place if you want a suite that’s right off the strip with a full kitchen and free wifi, and don’t mind the smell of sewage before you head to the Strip to enjoy your vacation.
