The first timeshare operation in Las Vegas (the two tower buildings opened as condos in 1974; most were converted to timeshares in 1977) and one of the first in the U.S., the Jockey Club formerly occupied 10 acres, with 8.5 of them dedicated to surface parking lots. Those lots were sold to the Cosmopolitan, which was built with three sides completely surrounding the Jockey Club's two small towers; the JC's south-facing rooms look out on a concrete wall, while the north rooms have great views of Bellagio, Paris, Bally's, the Flamingo, and Caesars. Two-room studios with king beds are available, as well as one- and two-bedroom suites, all with full kitchens. The central common area has an outdoor pool, fitness center, and barbecue grills; the lobby area offers a mini-mart, concierge, and book/DVD lending library and provides the last free popcorn on the Strip. The buildings are connected to the Cosmopolitan by elevator; guests park their cars in a dedicated section on the third floor of Cosmo's below-ground garage and have access to day passes to the Cosmo pool areas.
