South Point Hotel Review

My wife and I visited South Point Casino from June 24th ~ 27th.
First of all, let me please start with…

Pros & What to do while staying @ South Point Casino

1. Use your coupon! You will receive a small coupon booklet as you check in.
I personally used $25 Slot Machine Credit Coupon as well as Buffet coupon (2 for 1).
And also, take the gift giveaway coupon to the small grocery store in the casino, and you will receive a key chain. Not very valuable one, but remember, it’s free. :)

2. Buffet & Other restaurants
Do not expect 5 star high quality dishes at the buffet, but certainly, it’s not bad at all!
Many different kinds available! At least, I found it delicious. And also, check out the other restaurants as well. 4 to 5 different restaurants available including Steakhouse & Mexican restaurant.

3. Slot Machines
I only played slot machines rather than the table games and I actually saw some people hitting the jackpot. I saw a gentleman winning $4,000 playing Video Poker game. I personally had ups & downs but overall, they wouldn’t just take your money right away.
Just learn when to STOP playing when you earned some! :)

In addition, ASK FOR LOCAL BEERs or COCKTAILs while gambling! They are all free! I was able to enjoy playing slot machines while drinking beers. Yay!!!

4. Family Oriented; Movie & Bowling
We watched Transformer Two on 24th of June. We expected a lot of people, but it really wasn’t bad at all. Get a free popcorn using the coupon!!! Right beside the movie theater, you will be able to see a huge bowling center. Again, use the coupon if your plan is to play bowling!

Please be advised that I did not swim nor have a massage. I am not sure how the swimming pool or the spa qualities are like @ South Point.

5. If you have your own car, it’s not a bad idea to drive away from Strip (Casino) area!!!
I visited Hoover Dam as well as Red Canyon Region. It takes about one hour to get to Hoover Dam from South Point. Check out “Lake Mead” too on the way to Hoover Dam.
Hoover Dam definitely offers something to watch!


Now, let’s go over…
Cons & Why South Point Casino cannot be Five Star Hotel

1. Smoky Smoky Smoky Casino. Yes, I am very well aware of the fact that all the other hotels are the same as well where we will have lots of smokers while playing games. At South Point Casino, I do realize that they have the air filter system; however, there are perhaps too many smokers or what? Compared to any other hotels on the Strip, you can definitely feel the low quality of the air. After spending about an hour playing slot machine, you will be able to smell the smoky smell from your clothes all day long.

2. Distance from the Strip
You don’t have a car? Then, I am pretty sure that your plan is just to stay @ South Point.
It does take 15 minutes to 30 minutes (depending on the time) to get to the Strip.

Other than these two, I really don’t have any other points to complain about.
As you see, I have more PROs than Cons; and therefore, I would rate this hotel as FOUR STAR.

Overall, you are just receiving what you “paid” for.
You wouldn’t be able to stay @ Bellagio or Venetian with the money you are paying in order to stay @ South Point, right?
There’re always reasons to have the rooms available @ very cheap price compared to the market price @ Vegas. Oh! well, at least, I personally was very satisfied with South Point after all.

Thank you for reading!
