Emirates First Class Stopover Benefits?
 

I'm looking at purchasing a cash ticket on Emirates with a 2-3 day stopover in Dubai. I heard awhile ago that they offered 24-hour check in and check out for select hotels, which would help me as my flight would arrive at 7 a.m., and my departing flight 2-3 days later would depart in the morning as well.

Are there any other benefits that others have found useful? I guess it'll be exciting to try the chauffeur service as well!

Not sure where you're getting this from - only if there is no shorter connection than 24h you get a free hotel outside the airport. With the majority of the flights daily this rarely happens. Otherwise you'll have to arrange a hotel yourself (and thus are bound by normal check in/out times)

Last week I had to organise my own hotel for an overnight after Emirates had a schedule change. On the outbound I had Dubai Connect for the evening.

Yes - this is still available. It's known as the "Dubai Stopover Package". This is the UK version :-

It mentions the 24 hours check-in / check-out in "selected hotels". So, it's worth giving them a call and choosing a hotel that offers this.

You're referring to Dubai Connect. That's not what the OP is asking in this case.
