I love South Point Casino! I always come up here, weather it's tables or slots!
The sports bar is the BEST! Look for Simon, he's a sweetheart! He made my drinks just the way I like them. And he definitely wasn't stingy with the shots he gave us. And don't forget to play while your at the bar to save yourself some money.
Anyways, my favorite table dealer was Yandy. He was nice and helped me learn how to play some of the games. He was a really good dealer because I kept winning hen I had him then I would fall down as soon as he left.
As for the dealer Linda, I don't know if she was just there too long and didn't want to be there anymore, but she was rude! She wouldn't really help me, she kept yelling at the guy next to me for him not to bend the cards when he was just picking them up. Yea, she wasn't pleasant to be around at all.
Overall, I was there a few times this past weekend and I came late night til early morning and I had a good experience. Simon is the best bartender and Yandy is the best dealer. Go check them out! -

Thank you South Point for putting a Steak n Shake in your hotel!
This was our first stop when we arrived in Vegas for the weekend. We only came here to eat, but I did like the look of the hotel and the clean casino. Still on the strip but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. I'm looking into staying here next time we come up to Vegas. -

Good value low-brow Vegas experience. Far from the Strip so quite cheap for the rooms and they give you the old-fashioned coupon book to incentivize you to check things out. I get the sense that this serves more of a regional/local than the national/international crowd that gravitates towards the Strip.
Pluses:
* Rooms are spacious compared to what I'm used to (read: bigger than typical urban downtown)
* Sheets comfortable, bathrooms clean.
* Check-in is friendly and efficient
* Movie theater in same building (if you are on vacation I don't know why you'd want that but, still, it's not something I've seen in a hotel before)
* Breakfast buffet food quality was higher than I expected, especially after the coupon discount to about $3.50/per person. $10 seems fair.
* Free wi-fi in rooms and on floor
Minuses:
* Upstairs bars and arcade close early
* Smoking allowed
* Bar service can be slow -

South Point is a nice enough hotel/casino without the craziness of being on the strip.
The rooms are standard for a hotel. While I have never stayed here personally, my wife and son have and for the two of them the setting was just fine. There are plenty of food options and the casino floor is clean, relatively speaking.
South Point is a little more family friendly than others. There is a good sized pool area, bowling alley and a movie theater to keep everyone entertained.
The tables here at SP are less expensive than those that are on the strip so if you want to get away from the masses and find a decent table, it isn't a bad option. The dealers seem to be a bit more friendly and outgoing and it's always more fun giving your money away when the person you're giving it to is friendly right?
The thing that knocks this down to 3 stars is South Point's ventilation system. I have no problem with people smoking but what I do have a problem with is SP's HVAC system cannot keep up with the amount of smoke from the casino floor. I might have well put a cigarette in my mouth as it was that thick.
South Point is not a bad option by any means.....just please oh please, work on your ventilation system. -

It's relatively new. So, it doesn't have that lived-in casino feel that often places in Vegas and other such cities can develop. The rooms were large and, while sparce, were nice enough and seemed clean.
I don' t know if it is just me - but, the staff at South Point - in all the venues except Stake 'n Shake - seem to have low energy, focus and are generally just very pedestrian - certainly nothing special.
Was surprised to find that the washcloths left in the bathroom had holes worn in them! I would think they'd watch for things like that! The towels were more Motel 6 quality.
For room security, sometimes at night the security guard before you get to the room elevators would check for room keys, and sometimes not. It seemed to be based on mood.
The pool is nice, and the towels furnished there are a little better than the room towels.
Housekeeping, on the next to last day, forgot to leave glasses and the day before had forgotten to leave coffee. They did not clean the shower/bathtub area while we were there, but did replace the shampoo/conditioner.
We were there for a conference - and, the conference staff were efficient - again, a bit pedestrian, but efficient. We also ate at the oyster bar one night - it's sort of fast-food seafood - an efficient staff behind the counter (better than usual for South Point), but all a bit pre-packaged. It was okay - nothing special.
The Coronado (I think that was the name of it) . . . which is the 24-hour diner-like food place (with an additional Chinese menu) was okay - sort of run-of-the-mill diner food and very assemblyline in it's operation. The night that we had the bad meal at Jasmine at the Belaggio and I brought my partner here so he wouldn't have to go to bed hungry - they got his order totally wrong (not prepared wrong - they brought a completely different dish) - but, by this time he was so hungry and tired, he just ate what they brought. Again - not particularly exceptional service.
The prices are good, it's off the main strip, and it's not bad for a conference - the rooms were good, and the AV guy that was there was exceptionally good! But, don't go expecting the moon - because, at best, you'll get a dark little cloud, not unpleasant, but nothing special. -

I have loved coming to this hotel every time I come to Vegas. I know its just luck but every time I come here I win. The worst I have ever done is broke even. And the drink prices are the best! I have noticed the more places I go on the strip. The big casinos are less likely to comp drinks while playing. Not at South Point! Every time I sit and put any money in I get my drink. I have stayed at most of the casinos in Vegas. And I have liked the rooms just as much as some of the higher end hotels. And they are half the price as the others.
Some people see how far the location is from the middle of the strip. And are frightened away by that. Don't be, they have a shuttle system that drops and picks up until 1 AM.. If you want to go to the middle they will drop you off there.
And all the thinks they have in this place are great. Bowling, Bingo, Equestrian Park and full movie theater. If you were going to bring the kids to Vegas? I would definitely suggest staying here.
You have pretty much every style of restaurant in the hotel. And one the biggest bonuses to me was that I can go less then 10 minutes. And eat at places that aren't over priced and nice.
Try it sometime...I think you will like it. -

The South Point is good for what it is - a no-frills local's casino. Anyone who expects a luxurious high-roller experience will be disappointed.
I go to Vegas often for work and stay here because the rates are cheap ($50 a night, which is great if you're staying for long periods of time), the rooms are big (though the walls are a little thin), and they have pretty good dining options (particularly Don Vito's and Michael's). I'm not a gambler, so I can't speak for the quality of the casino; however, I do like the selection of bars and lounges.
I stayed here for several days last December, and because the holidays are the slowest time in Vegas, the hotel had $2 drink specials. ANYTHING you wanted to drink was $2, including premium liquor. I've never seen that before, not ever. It was great. I've heard they have $2 drink specials during other slow times, maybe summer, but I'm not sure.
I also visited the spa last time I was here. I got a pedicure, which was $80, and it was totally not worth the money. The girl who did it was very sweet, but I can get a better pedicure at a regular nail shop for $20. The spa is overpriced for the quality of the services and the environment.
Lastly, it should be noted that although SP is on Las Vegas Blvd., which is the Strip, it's about a thirty-dollar cab ride/fifteen-minute drive from the airport. I highly recommend staying here only if you have a car. If not, it might make more sense to stay closer to the main drag.
Bottom line: if you're looking for a reasonably-priced, middle-of-the-road Vegas vacation and don't mind being somewhat removed from the main action, South Point is perfectly adequate. -

Firstly, you can't miss this place, the building stands alone. It may be on Las Vegas Blvd, but it's a ways from the strip. Plus the windows are gold, not made of gold, just gold. so if you're on 15 or within the vicinity you can't miss it.
The rest of my review is for the casino itself. I have to say for a place off the strip it's pretty nice. Clean restrooms, entry doors, carpeting. From a facilities standpoint, well maintained.
The place has a few restaurants, a buffet, sushi place, a all around place, Italian and a steak house. Newly opened, Steak & Shake. A large bar, and some type of tequila bar (didn't go to that). There's also a deli that you walk up to, that serves huge slices of cheesecake, and other goodies, and a Seattle's Coffee, latte's seemed weak, so get an extra shot.
Towards the back, there is a gift shop that has water, liquor and milk. Of course prices are a bit high, but you pay for convenience. Better to make a run to the Food For Less, just a bit North on Las Vegas Blvd., if you don't know which way is North, you can't mess it up, because the Blvd. goes pretty dark going South, just dirt. Maybe that's where they got the name of this place from. You will also find a couple of liquor stores on your way there, but FFL sells it too.
Gaming, I won a little here. A good balance of tables, however many more slot machines. If you're looking for a slower pace like downtown, but want something newer less seedy, this could be worth checking out. -

front desk is horrible! Supervisor front desk "CHELSEA" is a horrible worker and horrible staffing...
I was in las vegas for business and i booked 2 suites and 3 rooms, well over a REGULAR guest, and obviously this wasnt treated as so. The 1st mishap at the front desk was an asian lady who checked me in, in doing so she checked me in like i was NOT an important guest, she never told where the elevators were but never told me my room, and than giving me my room number i then asked: "so im guessing im floor 4?" she than said: "oh yeah, sure" = WOW...so than i said, hey maybe she's having a bad day and tomorrow will be better when i check in the rest of my camp; not the CASE!
The next day i had all the rooms i booked checking in, i had people flying in internationally and locally for a concert i had, being proactive i went to the front desk to ask the nightmare of a mess: "CHELSEA" the "supervisor" = not professional attitude and shouldnt be in a customer involving environment.
I asked chelsea, can i check in my rooms and they come later to offer their card for incidentals? she told me everyone has to be there at once, and moved forward on telling me the rooms i got were one king bed vs. two queens. I than asked: "how did that happen?" she than said: "I DONT KNOW ITS WHAT YOU CLICKED ON THE INTERNET, I CANT TELL YOU WHAT YOU CLICKED" = WOW really?
than she said: "look i dont want to argue with you" all i was asking was an explanation, AND NOT an argument. She than ignored me and threw keys on the counter....at the end, my friend (which they DID NOT KNOW WAS MY FRIEND) overheard a very overweight caucasian man, say to CHELSEA, "what was his porblem?" she went ahead and told him: and he genuinely said: "WHAT AN ASSHOLE"
This review has been long enough, and i am and going to contact their higher quarters of front desk for this kind of treatment, obviously "CHELSEA" if you're reading this, you judged and had attitude with the WRONG GUEST!
I WILL NEVER STAY AT SOUTHPOINT BECAUSE OF THIS HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I am a business man and an entrepreneur who is willing to spend money for the better of the business no matter what the cost is, but in doing so in business i put CUSTOMER SERVICE FIRST: unlikely for Southpoint.
Sincerely,
a guest who spent well over $2,000+ on rooms and amenities. -

I recently stayed at the Southpoint from 4/22 - 4/25 and had a standard room. It was a part of a packge deal through Allegant Airlines out of Stockton, CA. The room rate was $49 per night.
The room was reasonably spacious, clean and comfortable. I found the bed to be especially hard, and rather than "standard" pillows, I had to lay my head on a very soft and spongy pillow which was nearly as wide as the queen bed that was in the room. Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well any of the three nights I spent there.
I was on the 18th floor, so it took quite a while to get any hot water up to the floor for a shower. What was interesting though, was that there was NO hot water for the sink...just the tub/shower. The "logic" behind this according to an employee I spoke with, was that they didn't want any of the guests (primarily children) to get scalded! I suppose with sense of logic that if children were in the room, they wouldn't be taking a shower?
I did like the layout of the entire hotel/casino unlike some of the other hotels I've stayed at farther up the strip. It was very easy to maneuver around and find everything you were looking for.
A MAJOR turn-off for me personally was that they have an exclusive contract with Pepsi, and Pepsi gives me major heartburn. They serve Pepsi in ALL of their restaurants; it's in all of the vending machines on each floor and even the freakin' gift shop. The ONLY places to get a Coke product ( if you're a Coke drinker) is in the movie theater or the Del Mar Deli, only because these two places are considered to be "outside vendors" and not a real part of the South Point.
I ate at both the buffet and the Coronado Cafe. The buffet was $8.00 and I considered it good value for the money spent. I thought the food was adequate for the price, and I did enjoy a decent slice of prime rib. The buffet's prime wasn't anything close to a 5-star meal, but for $8.00 it was pretty decent.
The Coronado Cafe, just like the buffet, is a very good value for your money. The service is excellent and all of the employees are genuinely personable and friendly.
The movie theater (all 16 of them) were incredible and the seats were extremely comfortable. I watched two different movies during my stay, and the cost of admission was $4.00 each time. I've had far better popcorn elsewhere, but it was okay and at least I could wash it down with a DIET COKE!
I'd like to give the South Point a 4 or 5-Star rating but I just can't bring myself to do it. Again...the "deal breakers" for me were: uncomfortable bed and pillow and the fact that they have an exclusive contract with Pepsi which I don't drink!
Overall...I got what I paid for! -

The hotel and rooms are pretty nice for what you're paying. They even have a bowling alley and movie theater here. I also enjoy coming here for the $5 blackjack! WOOO!
BUT sadly, i've never won anything from here before! My friends and I ALWAYS lose our money in this place! Something about this place always makes us throw our money into the casino's pockets.
Also, the poker table is filled with locals, so unless you really know how to play, I suggest you don't come here. Plus, these locals can be a bit snobby toward tourists. -

Ok, this is our second stay here, and probably our worst. If you are not a smoker, this is NOT the place for you. This hotel has issues with its ventilation system. We stayed here for 3 nights, and the first time we stayed here it was in February 2009, and I remembered having the same breathing issues.
Basically, the casino, like all casinos, smells like smoke. You can't escape that anywhere. The hotel rooms, although they were clean, have poor plumbing. If you need to go to the restroom, it's better to go done stairs in the casino.
Next, the air in the hotel rooms was really dry. No smell of smoke, but seriously, this hotel needs to invest in humidifiers for their rooms. I woke up everyday with a dry throat, dry mouth, dry skin, it was so bad I wanted to put lotion on my eyeballs. Now, when we stayed here, the weather outside wasn't even hot. It was nice cool crisp air outside. I wished I could have opened a window. My husband had horrid allergies, so the lack of humidity in the hotel room made it worse. Bring your own humidifier if you really want to stay here.
Whenever I entered this hotel, I was completely winded just walking from the parking garage to the hotel room. It was so awful, that paired with the air in the hotel room that just ruined our stay. We were both feeling it whenever we returned to the hotel. Yet, when we walked into other hotels with better ventilation, we didn't run out of breath. I knew it had something to do with the air, because when we went to Rio to catch a show, we walked through the casino and throughout the hotel at a fairly quick pace and we weren't winded at all.
Anyways, what are the pluses of this hotel? Bingo all throughout the day, movie theaters at decent prices ($7 matinee before 6pm), and bowling.
We will not stay again at this hotel. -

Yelp Challenge! Started 8/20/2011 (36 of 365). I have a lot of catching up to do!
Southpoint is the go to spot for my friends and I. We go here frequently almost every weekend to either gamble, eat, bowl, go to the movies, lounge and drink, and put in our sports bets especially during the football season.
This place is always crackin'. Some weekends it can be pretty packed with events going around in Las Vegas. There's a Steak n' Shake, an ice cream parlor that serves my favorite Dryer's ice cream flavor, an awesome deli that has huge dessert options, a cool cafe that serves very good Chinese food and all your normal American cafe breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night specials, a super awesome tasty Oyster Bar, and even a really good Italian restaurant.
There are always plentiful black jack, baccarat, pai gow, 3 card poker, and roulette tables. They have all the slots, lots of video poker, and a number of bars to hang out w/ a cocktail. They have some cool bands that play sometimes, and comedy shows that my friends and I have been to.
Then of course there's the bowling and the theatre; great for all ages. This place is also not too far from the strip, Southwest Vegas, and the outlet mall.
Good for travelers and locals alike. -

I was planning to stay at the southpoint but I have since changed my mind, and you should as well.
Long story short I looked up the rates on the computer one day and did not book; but the next day I saw they had raised the prices. They do have a policy of honoring past Hotel rates of done in a allotted amount of time [which I did]. Sadly they would not honor the past hotel rates even thought it was done according to their rules.
What deception and dishonesty.
Do not stay at the south point hotel and casino; EVER! -

I don't know why, but I've never won a cent at any station Casino!!
I know that isn't the casino's fault (right?) but it still doesn't make me rush back to play.
I came here to see Steve Byrne's stand up show the other night, and got here early so I walked around a bit. Most of the staff I interacted with had a similar attitude. It was an attitude that said, "Cut the bull, you know where you are, deal with it."
Besides one group of pretty girls who looked like they were on a bachelorette party, this place was oxygen tank, rascal driving, cigarette inhaling central. I'm not elitist, but this is not the crowd I want to spend my time with. Maybe when I'm 80, this place will seem like an awesome singles resort, but for now, I'll treat it like episodes of Murder She Wrote, and avoid it. -

First of all, if you're staying here, do not park in the structure. It's a far walk to the lobby with all your luggage. Use the free valet parking. Since you're not paying resort fees, pay for valet service.
Really good price for a large room with a huge bathroom. The a/c in the room works a little too well and can be quite noisy. The casino is large and doesn't smell like smoke. They have Double Triple Diamond Deluxe with Cheese slot machines people! Oh yeah! It's my favorite slot game. Drinks are pretty cheap, but that's because they give you small shots.
Rooms - large and clean
Housekeeping - efficient and professional
Casino - lots of slots machines, video poker and tables. I love the computerized craps and roulette.
Food - They need more choices. Add a Capriotti's, Five Guys, Sbarro's or a KFC.
Staff - friendly and professional.
Normally I stay at the Orleans, but there was Cheerleader bimbo competition at the arena so I decided to try South Point. Would I stay here again? Only if it's on comps. -

I was initially very skeptical about staying at this hotel. We usually stay at a fancy strip hotel and was not expecting much. It is the only hotel within about 4 miles of here, so I did not have a choice and was a little worried about what $50 per night gets you. I was pleasantly surprised. The room itself was as nice as many on the strip at 1/3 the price. The hotel is only about 6 years old and has been kept up well. The pool is nice and large, and the spa is great. The spa prices are a little more reasonable than at other area hotels.
The food choices are varied. We ate at the deli, Stake and Shake, raw bar - all great choices. The best was the prime rib restaurant. The servers were all great and the staff was all very helpful.
This part of the review is specifically aimed at conventions. This hotel is a great alternative to some of the larger halls around town. The staff was great, and the convention food was much better than the average convention hall. If you have a trade show that is less than about 600-700 standard booths, you really should consider the South Point. Plenty of parking, the halls are very close to the room elevators. No need to walk through a smoky casino just to get to the trade show.
I must give a special thank you to Larry at the Arena for really making our convention special. You guys are great! -

Where do I start. My last visit was 4/6-4/8. I've been visiting Southpoint for about 4 yrs and never had a complaint. After reading some of the negative reviews I've concluded that you can get bad service and customer service anywhere. That being said, here's my latest review.
I had noticed that the ventilation in the casino was not clearing out the smoke as previous visits. Customer service at the desk was acceptable, no one was rude.
Room:
Hotel bed was firmer than I experienced on previous visits. Not sure why. I've always liked the room as they are very spacious for the price.
The location of Southpoint can't be beat. No traffic to speak of, has their own freeway off ramp. If you want to go to the strip, you can drive there or take their shuttle ($8 day).
I enjoy playing in the Poker Room and participate in the daily tournament each visit (I have yet to win) but I enjoy playing the game.
They do have plenty of video poker, from 5 cents on up. -

If the parking garage is full, there is also parking on the floor/street level, facing Warm Springs. And there's also Valet too.
This is a huge box of a casino- but more filled in than Aliante (kinda empty in most parts and not many customers either) and definitely more popular- events are held here, like "Divas Day Out." We saw members of the Red Hat society here (if you haven't seen them around town, they are older women, over the age of 50, wearing red and purple, including hats usually adorned with huge feathers).
We come to this casino on a semi-regular basis for, drum roll please, Steak & Shake- which is so very popular for cheap eats. You have to beat the crowd and get there early, that's my best advice for you. Or, you will be in a line, waiting at least, twenty minutes for the next available table. The servers wear black and whites, the decor is a classic diner feel with huge murals from the 1950s, but there are linens and silverware at each table (booths are on the side, tables in the middle)- but it's not a fancy place. The typical meal is about $10 per person. Service is quick and everyone's very nice, but because lunchtime is packed, they kinda want you out of there, when you're done with your meal. You can also go to the Pick-up window (to the left side).
In the past, we've been to the oyster bar (decent, but Stations has better ones), the
movie theater (newer and thus, cleaner), and a work event (video poker tournament) was held here- however, there were few signs- our company was in a small corner (and thus, not quite easy to find, either) but the buffet dinner was held for the attendees/members upstairs in one of the meeting rooms (there are lots of events held here, as I said earlier).
If we want to walk around somewhere close after our meal at S & S, we head to the Premium Outlets South. -

Stayed here during a recent business trip. Got a great deal on http://Hotels.com. Got a room that was clean, spacious with a nice view.
This hotel is on the south side of the strip but has easy access to all key attractions and the airport. I liked it as it was a bit away from the hustle bustle of the main strip area but not too far away either. The South outlet mall is pretty close by too.
The hotel has a number of good restaurants that are reasonably priced. Got a coupon book during check in that helped in getting nice discounts on the food and drinks!!
Overall a great experience. -

Love this hotel, it has everything you need except for a dance club. Movie theatre, bowling alley, poker room, many different restaurants, cheap drinks and nice employees.
I like to stay here when I want a Vegas trip where I don't dress up it go out to clubs. I like their buffet even though it is small and simple, it gets the job done and the food
Actually tastes good unlike the buffet at MGM and Mandalay bay.
Rooms and cheap during the week and when there isn't a big rodeo event they are cheap on the weekend. I like that their rooms are big, clean, and newish.
South point is my favorite 'local' casino/ hotel. -

I enjoyed my weekend staycation at South Point. The room was clean, the staff were nice. This hotel does not stand out to me in any way, however- which is neither good nor bad. If you just want a relaxing weekend away, this place is fine. I like the glowing nighttime exterior- it gives a nice glow to the room (which you can fully shut out if want a dark room for sleeping). They offer a shuttle to the Strip, which I took, so I wasn't stuck in the hotel. If I had friends coming to town who weren't looking to base all their fun at the hotel, I'd recommend this affordable place.

I have had nothing but pleasant experiences at South Point. It's a nice option for out-of-towners (like LA or Arizona) who want reasonable room rates close to the Strip (about 15 minutes south of it), and right off the freeway.
My main reason to visit? The bingo hall. Yes, I said the bingo hall, and no, I'm not 55 years old. If you haven't played before, ithe games are about as quick as the lip of the auctioneer from Storage Wars. It's fun playing multiple cards, scanning each of them quickly, with your dauber ready to use at any moment. And if that's too much for you, pay a little extra to get an electronic card, which does everything for you. Thus, grab a comp spiked beverage, sit back, and wait for the e-card to tell you you're a winner.
Even though the craps tables have really low minimums (think $3), I don't like that the max odds are only double. Thus, I normally just stick with bingo. Also, the giant surface lot is far from the entrance and usually packed. I guess that just means it's a popular casino.
It's really bright in here, which I enjoy. There is a movie theater and a bowling alley here, so it's kid-friendly. Funny story - my brother, who is 30, was carded at the BOWLING ALLEY. Apparently you have to be 18 after 9pm or something. He was really happy to be mistaken for someone that young. Hooray for youthful family genes!
There is a Steak N Shake in this casino. I hear it's the only one west of Texas. Not that I would ever eat there since there's one 10 minutes from me, but it's nice to know. -

We came to South Point to see the Spazmatics. While eating in the buffet before the show, I began to notice that there was a stronger smoke smell than I had experienced at more prominent casinos. After dinner, we wandered the gaming area and got in line for the show. That's when I became overwhelmed by the smoking. Jesus! I guess they decided to cut a corner with air scrubbers, because within 20 minutes, I was sneezing and had an uncontrollable flow of sinus drainage. My best advice is to stay away from this place if you do not smoke. Consider yourself warned. Oh, the Spazmatics were great.

The casino is wide and big. but not much people playing there. It's about 10 miles from the strip. My mother complained that the slots machines were old. And the games were not updated ones.
If I do come back again is to check out the spa. As one of the yelpers stated they have a waterfall cascading massage. :-)
Other then that, I have not much to say about this casino. But as they say, once you're inside a casino, all of them kind of look the same. The slots, the tables, etc...Listed in: Las VEGAS, Here I am!

Normally I would have rated this hotel with 5 stars HOWEVER due to a recent experience with a manager, I cant.
Great:
I love this hotel. Ive stayed here multiple times before for business. Though you're away from the strip, you are not away from the action. They have a huge casino, restaurants, a movie theater, bingo, a huge pool/area, a gym and much more! The rooms are very spacious and comfortable.
Horrible:
I booked 3 rooms back in December for the upcoming CES show and received an email confirmation for all 3 shortly after. During this past weekend, I received updated confirmations of the rooms MINUS MINE. When I called in I spoke to Denise (customer service rep - who was very nice and helpful) who told me it was cancelled due to a declined card. She suggested I call back and speak to the manager Kim Kane to get things figured out.
I called back to speak to Kim - I explained the situation and she told me that a cancellation email was sent out ( I never received it) and that they called me. Problem is, they called my company on a Saturday (we're off) and no one answered because no one was there. Instead of making another attempt, they cancelled my room. Her exact words were "ITS NOT OUR JOB TO BABYSIT, NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE SO THE ROOM WAS CANCELLED".
Their policy is different to say the least but I was shocked, not so much by the company policy but more so her attitude and how she spoke to me. Needless to say, I wont be going there again. I work in customer service and would not talk to a customer like that.
Oh and I called my bank and they have nothing on their end that shows anything being declined. But thats neither here nor there at this point. -

My review may be a little biased mostly because I live about 3 miles away from here. This hotel to me is like an all inclusive resort since it has a little of everything. Basically I use this hotel for late night gambling or to place some sports bets, or to grab a milkshake or chili mac supreme at the Steak n Shake (an awesome east coast chain that recently opened here). I suck at bowling but when there are no holidays, their bowling alley has midnight $1 bowling as well as $1 well drinks and beers. This is very cheap and convenient for all the locals or tourists that stay off the strip, possibly because of conventions or fairs that take place here. I find the bowling and movie theater great for underage teens as it gives them something to do instead of causing trouble out on the streets or good to pass time while their parents and older siblings get wasted or gamble.
Also, if there is a new movie out, I sometimes catch an early matinée or late night impulse to watch a new movie in their clean theater. They do have this XD 3D knockoff of IMAX in their movie theater but I've not taken advantage of that yet.
If I've had a late night at the clubs or wake up early in the morning, my main reason on stopping by here is their Coronado Cafe's mightnight menu of $3.95 steak and egg dinner. This is a 7oz NY strip, 2 eggs cooked the way you like it, an order of hash browns and toast. You cannot beat this deal anywhere in town (Orleans Casino has this too but only Mon-Fri and I do not like the quality of their steak).
I've had their garden buffet one time for lunch and it only cost $7.95 with their rewards card. It's not the best buffet in the world but you get good value still with your money.
I've heard from friends that the rooms are spacious and I do know that they advertise on road side outdoor billboards that their rooms start at $49 and do not tack on any resort fees.
I do off hand that the world series of beer pong, Pro Bull Riding and some exhibition games have been featured at this venue. This past year, the Halloween event, Fetish and Fantasy Ball was hosted here and some of my friends who attended said the event was awesome. The only event I attended in their arena near the convention area as a division III basketball event. I found the venue to be clean, ushers were polite and friendly and best of all, the concessions were very price friendly. -

This place is A-OK for sure. The food's good. I did like that the casino is a little smaller. Also I won pretty well and usually I don't win that close to the strip. The casino did seem smokier than most but whatever. The pool and jacuzzi were wonderful although the pool was a bit cold. Not the fanciest place for sure but a good time. :)

South Point is as good as it gets. Its not very far from the strip, very clean, spacious, and the staff is very friendly. Considering that this place is a casino, it is very child friendly with an arcade, a huge bowling alley, great places to eat, and a movie theater. Their sports book is also really big with sports and horse racing separate. Feeling hungry but would rather spend your cash on betting/games ? Don't worry. There are hotdogs which are only 75c a piece. Cocktail waitresses are very friendly, and circle the grounds fairly often.
The hotel rooms are really luxurious, spacious, clean and priced at a more than fair rate. This place is also willing to work with out a deal if you have many guests that need lodging for an event (ie party at your house, etc). If you children under 21, they have plenty to do. The hotel has a nice arcade next to a large bowling alley and movie theater. There is also a pool area complete with a large main pool, kiddy pool, and a nicely sized jacuzzi.
South Point has many places to eat. Ranging from 75c hotdogs all the way to an elegant gourmet restaurant named Michael's (that was voted best in Vegas for a year), a Steakhouse, high-end Italian cuisine, large buffet, 24 hour cafe, ice cream, coffee, and a whole lot more. Prices range from average to above average suitable for any occasion.
Their casino has almost every game you can think of ranging from $5 minimum all the way to no limit. The staff are all pretty nice minus the a few bad apples (though not worth taking off a star due to the rarity of them) and they are really good with the comps. Weekends and Holidays are especially nice here due to the extra friendly and cheerful atmosphere.
All in all, I'd say that this a great place to stay at if you're looking for a place away from the strip but still want to be close it all. Bring the kids too because I'm sure they will like it there as well ! -

I used to go there a lot with friends until we realised that we hate it. It is often too crowded with shit-bag people. Not poor people, not bums, not any particular race or ethnicity mind you. There's just a lot of shit bags there. Rude-ass drunken pricks. The staff is pretty nice though. I like the sports and race book well enough. I would still go to the movie theater. We got cut off by the bartender one time for "gaming the system." We weren't playing enough hands of video poker for the beer we were drinking. Four of us had been coming there once or twice a week for almost a year. We were gaming the system, it's true. We were gaming it at South Point. Now we game it somewhere else.

Nice casino that is about 10-15 minutes by car from The Strip. The casino has a bowling alley, movie theater, and lots of restaurants to choose from. Free parking in the garage.
The non-smoking room had nice amenities for $50/night:
- Spacious
- Clean bed sheets for our two queen sized beds
- Updated bathroom with granite countertops
- Flat screen tv
- Easy checking out of the hotel through the tv
Unfortunately, no free internet, refrigerator, or microwave.
I would stay here again. -

Booked this place through http://Hotels.com for spending New Years Eve in Las Vegas. All other comparable hotels were easily over $500 for two nights so I ended up going with South Point for roughly $300 for two nights.
At first I was a little worried about staying here mainly due to the commute (not the quality of the place as it was opened in 2005) but I was happily surprised.
Check in was a breeze even though it was the Friday before NYE and everyone was coming into town. Even though there was quite a long line the casino had all the counters manned and checking in and getting into the room took less than 20 minutes. Moreover, during check in they also give you a coupon book for some free stuff or buy one get one free stuff which was kind of cool. Only complaint was that when calling in to inquire about when you can check in took about 10 minutes on hold to get to speak with someone.
The room itself was very spacious and clean and comes with all the amenities that you would expect from a reputable Vegas hotel. Our room consisted of a king size bed, flatscreen TV, table, and a sofa (along with the rest of the nightstand, drawers, and closet). This room could easily stuff 6 or so people in it if you really wanted to. Moreover, it was nice how their bathroom was divided into two, with a door between the shower/toilet and the sink, thus allowing two people to share the bathroom at a time. Definitely no complaints about the spaciousness or cleaniness of the room here.
Moreover, while I did not get to try out their amenities during my stay this time, I think I will definitely be back next time to try out their midnight madness bowling. Apparently, during the weekdays after midnight all games are only a dollar! I mean can you imagine, forget beer pong, how about beer bowling or a shot for every pin left standing haha.
As for the food of this place, again I did not get to try out much but their Steak N Shake seemed like a decent and moderately priced place to get a meal. I actually ended up getting a togo order of 3 sliders and shake for about $11 bucks so that wasn't too bad.
As for the convenience of this location, well for off-strip, it is pretty convenient even during NYE. Located right off the freeway, it is easy to get to and out of into the Strip. It is about a 15 minute drive by freeway and about a 20 minute drive by Las Vegas Blvd (I like how you have two routes to this place) with either being traffic free by the times I was driving.
As a note, if you are planning to come here for New Years park at the Mandalay Bay! The Strip is closed until 3am but as Mandalay Bay is at the end of the Strip you can still get out and take either Las Vegas Blvd or the freeway back without much hassle.
Only complaint with this place is that their shuttle to and from the Strip (cheap at only $8 all you can ride for a day) only runs till 1:00am. Who goes back to the hotel at 1:00am in Vegas...especially on New Years. They should make it 24 hours or at least 24 hours on the holidays.
