Glitz and glamour it isn't, but for a fair deal a one bedroom suite with a living room, pull out couch, and kitchenette right on the strip, this is your place. \nThey describe it as \"snuggled away\" next to the Cosmo, I say it's practically hidden. This tiny, family owned spot is easy to miss but once you find it, you realize it's a pretty nice location; Easy walking distance to everything. It really has to be one of the best values if you have a big group as I did for a bachelorette party or you are counting your pennies and still want the popular location.\nThe rooms aren't ugly or smelly and the other guests seem more or less respectable, but it's definitely bare bones place: tacky, tiny onsite pool, no casino, and no view (don't let that main picture fool you- my room looked at the service car driveway, not the Bellagio Fountains). This is truly just a place to sleep, eat left-overs in the morning, and pre-drink. We had a group of 8 that stayed in two different rooms and everyone had a place to crash at night and we stored our food and treats in the fridges so it worked. The beds and bathroom are just ok, nothing amazing but enough room for everyone. The beds weren't backbreaking but not exactly comfy. But I suppose if you are coming to the Vegas strip to hang out in your room, you are doing it wrong. \nOne nice feature - if you can find it- is an elevator that connects The Jockey Club with the Cosmo Casino. It's hard to find in both buildings though. The elevator from the Jockey Club to the Cosmo lets you out on a weird floor (no grand entrance, sorry) but it is a convenient way to get next door once you figure it out. Guests of the Jockey Club can use one of the Cosmo pool's, free of charge, as well. We spent an afternoon at the pool and it was pleasant enough but ended up going to one of the other hotel's pools for a change of pace. \nI say 5 stars for low price and value you get for the suite size, 5 stars for location, 1 star for name recognition- I can't tell you how many blank stares we got when we said where we were staying, 2 stars for amenities because of the lack of a view, lack of a restaurant in the hotel, the lack of an onsite pool, and the basic room d\u00e9cor. I think that works out roughly to a 3 star place.
