South Point is the only hotel we stay at when we visit Las Vegas. Sign up for the Players Card, we use it all the time and our rooms are comped even though we are far from being high rollers. They also have free valet parking, not too many hotels in Vegas offer that.
We only stay at South Point. There is plenty of people watching. Horses, well... Smell like horses but who doesn't love horses. This is our go to place. Can't wait to eat the specials after midnight.
We love South Point!! We have stayed there 3 times and are coming this month. My husband is a bowler and they host the National Open Championship in house. It's really convenient to have bowling within the hotel! We bring our two teenage girls, who love the pool and movie theater. The restaurants are all great! Security is never an issue! We feel very safe and there is tons to do.
I love staying at South Point. It's so much more relaxing away from the busy hustle and bustle of the strip or downtown. I do love the strip and downtown, but sometimes I just want to relax after a day spent on the strip and downtown. Another great thing about South Point is that they have a free airport shuttle for their guests. Your so right about their restaurants being really good for very reasonable prices. My favorite is their steak house. It's so nice and really delish. Thanks for a really good look at South Point. It made me that much more excited about staying there next month.
We have been staying there for years. Rooms are nice. We like the hot dogs for a cheap lunch option. The pool is open late, which is great if you stay there in the summer.
I really like Southpoint’s gambling floor as well as their hotel rooms. I normally stay in the king suite and it’s so huge. You’re correct they keep it very pristine there for the type of decor they have. Also to know there’s two bowling centers there one is mainly for tournaments but it’s huge in gorgeous. The Coronado is actually one of my favorite late night eats the service and the food is amazing.
I met the Rubys while they were filming this in during Champagne Brunch at the Garden Buffet. I agree SP is very worth the price. It has a local feel and is way off the Strip. Located at the end of the city so really think about what kind of experience your want. It’s located near a quiet neighborhood. I’ve been here twice for work conventions. The coupon book is a definite need. Ask for it if the front desk forgets. Note about the slippers: They are plush but smaller and don’t fit my size 12 feet. Mr Ruby: Thanks for recommending the Circa Sportsbook for NFL playoff watching the seat prices were worth the hours of fun.
I love and have loved the southpoint for 15 years, I'm in my mid 40's now not a senior citizen. 🤣 I started going when my kids hit their teens, they loved the food, bowling, arcade, movie theater and pools. We could go play and drink and the kids did their thing and we got to do ours. Not a huge party scene, but relaxed atmosphere.
As a local who plays slots only, I've found the payback at South Point to be about the same as the Strip. I wish it paid better than the Strip, but my experience after almost fifty visits is that it doesn't. I prefer playing slots at the Wynn just because they have a special free play promotion for local residents only. If you're aged 50 or over, on Mondays you can use your player's club points to pay for meals with only 50% points needed. This is a really good deal.
Appreciate the info on Wynn, considering at 635 of video gambling is recommended at South Point. As a former local SP was my go-to for steak and eggs 12am -5am (if I remember correctly) for $4.99 and it is NY strip, and also like their sports book. Playing Video poker at SP never had any luck though. Visiting in June and planning on trying the Wynn buffet, might have to check out the high limit slots at the Wynn. thanks
Glad you found the hot dogs! They are fantastic! One of our favorite restaurants at South Point is Primarily Prime Rib. A big delicious cut of prime rib with potato or vegetable and rolls/butter for $20. You can't beat it! And their poker room is always packed with both tournaments and cash games.
We love the South Point. Always have to eat at the Primarily Prime Rib. Huge portions and delicious. There are more bowling lanes in another area for tournaments. The hot dogs are available until 5pm every day; so good!
South Point has TWO bowling alleys. The regular one, as well as a professional only stadium style bowling alley out by the arena. The bowling tournament they have yearly is the largest in the world, with over 50,000 bowlers It lasts several months, results in 30,000 room nights booked, and is responsible for something like 13 percent of South Point's annual revenue. Yes I work there. Lol
Great info from a proud employee. That said, why does the casino floor smell like a giant ashtray? it's really difficult to play slots/table games for more than 30 minutes, on busy days it's almost unbearable. Yes, some gamblers smoke, but not all do, the demographics are changing so should the Southpoint/Gaughan Gaming. Similarly designed casinos like Orleans, Gold Coast, Suncoast have similar air quality problems. Pathetic that this is still an issue for casino employees and non smokers in 2022.
@@emailuser8668 I don't notice it, and am surprised given the height of the ceilings. But I have heard that all Gaughan properties past and present have a similar "engineering footprint". So you're probably right.
I think they should ban smoking EVERYWHERE except designated smoking places no where near anyone else. Smoking is vile and i just can’t see why anyone would smoke and smell like a damn ashtray. Disgusting and we all have to suffer because of them. Nasty
I have stayed at South Point. I thought it was fine. I think it is a good option if you want to get off the Strip. I noticed a lot of locals playing there.
Lol the shower sounds 😂 South Point was our place when we lived over in the South West part of Vegas. Always did decent with the machines there and they have an old-school machine called Hot Flashes that I can't find anywhere else in Vegas. Love that game. SP is a great place.
This hotel is one of the best there is. I have been coming here for more than twenty-five years. One minor complaint are the resort fees. However if you have a AAA card you will get the lowest price for a room similar to what the video has already pointed out. One other thing they offer free parking. Five star service.
Idk abt u goin for more than 25 years ya time maybe a little off lol this joint ain’t been around that long but yea the value here is dope i stayed there once a few years ago and feel like i got a ton for wat i spent and to me the resort fees are reasonable it’s 27$ a night i was supposed to stay at the Monte Carlo hotel (it’s park mgm now) but i had got screwed over by a travel agency and was scrambling to find a room and ended up at south point and had a ball everything was mad cheap and the rooms were HUGE
The oyster bar had the best weekday happy hour specials!!! My go to. When we drive in, I always make sure I make it by 3pm from LA just for the happy hour. The oysters are huge.
@@kleptodathief3946 you can get their menu online. They have a lobster sandwich, which I have had, that was good if you like lobster, but it was spice less and not memorable.
I went to Vegas last April and I stayed in the resort next door to south point because I used my military discount which was $400 for the week. I spent a lot of time at south point gambling, bingo and eating at several buffets. I had a great time there and will definitely visit again.
The restaurant, Michael’s at South Point used to be at the Barbary Coast hotel. It’s by far one of the best restaurants in all of Vegas. Very old world Vegas! Absolutely one of the best meals you’ll ever have! We go every time we come to Vegas. It’s a must do!
You HAVE to try Primarily Prime when you're there! We go there rather than the steakhouse on the first floor. Old Vegas feel, with no pretense. Plus, some of the BEST prime rib I've ever had!
Lol ok so in the shot at 4:20 when you’re talking outside the oyster bar, I’m just off camera playing a 100-play penny machine. I remembered seeing you behind me with the cameraman and thinking oh she’s doing a spot for RUclips. Southpoint is the best. I’ve been there probably 15 times in the last ten years. Easy comps. Never have paid for a room. Great video poker, great food options. Lots to do. My home away from home
Visited South Point for our first time this October (2023) and found the slots very generous and the buffet was a great value. Will definitely be back.
Ruby try the M Resort for your next off strip stay. I stayed there once and it was one of the most enjoyable stays I’ve ever had even though it’s a short drive off strip there is no issue with it if you have a rental. The suites at the M and the bloody marys at the M Cafe are some of the best secrets ever.
Seconded. The M and Red Rock are two of the best resorts in Vegas. Standard room at M when first opened was the nicest standard room I’d ever seen anywhere with Red Rock’s a close second.
I’ve stayed here many times, it’s big spacious has so much to do with the movie theater, the bowling alley, the spa is great, the arcade and the pool is nice. 👍🏾❤️ great video as always Ruby and yes they give the coupons out at front desk so nice
I've stayed at the SP a couple of times for Super Bowl (21 years straight) weekend with the boys. I've been to Vegas maybe 30-35 times and SP is one of my favorites. I would stay there again but one of the guys I go with had a falling out with the professional gambler he associates with and through him we were able to get a lot of comps, so no more SP. I love the early morning breakfast at the The Coronado Café if just to people watch. We used to love the Stardust, Rio was okay and the Orleans I'd drink battery acid before I ever step in there again. When the wife and I go it used to be the Mirage, but now it's the Venetian.
This will be our 5th time coming back to South Point. They have the best whole pizzas from the bowling alley. The coupons you get at check in are huge $$ savings. The last two years and they made great improvements to the buffet, its incredible now (use the coupon) Then we can't wait to get the super late night NY strip with eggs. We also hit it for the Porterhouse or prime rib. Food is really good and the staff has always been great!
South Point is amazing. Love that place. Coronado cafe has some of the best food prices in all of Vegas after midnight. You get more for your money at that place than just about any casino hotel.
I recommend staying at South Point. Every year a group of us bowlers are here for the Military Bowling Tournament in August. We stay for a week and we get our room comp. Plus go into the Executive office and ask for a food comp for one of the fine restaurants. I've been given a food comp from $150 to $400. I give this outstanding casino hotel a 5 ⭐ rating.
Stayed a few times at SouthPoint and hung out there a few more. Very relaxed. Not for those looking for flash and wow factor. SouthPoint is for those that want to have a true vacation or lower key but fun night out... relaxed, good food, nice sports book, plenty of "area" bars in the casino area, and friendly crowd playing the tables. Lots of special events there, some open to the public. The Casino Collectables Association has their convention there in June. Plenty of freebies and discounts for hotel guests.
I've been here 3 times in the past 5 months and going again in 3 weeks. For all the reasons stated in this video is why I keep coming back! Personally for me, it is the Face Up Pai Gow and the abundance of Game King machines. One minor gripe was my mother being hassled by some woman wanting money for her fake jewelry near the doors by the self parking structure.
IDK if it's still in existence but the showroom hosted the Dennis Bono Show (my dad's a Henderson, NV resident whereas I'm from Detroit, MI). My dad & I were frequently in attendance every Thursday @ South Point's Showroom 4 the Dennis Bono Show (he hosted lots of the old-school entertainers such as Clint "Playground In My Mind" House, Deana Martin (Dean's daughter), Tony Orlando, etc.). Tickets were FREE (w/the Players' Club Card).
I have a timeshare across the street at Grandview (yes one of those people sucked in, for us back in 2007). Anyway, we decided to make the best of it and enjoy our timeshare there or trade for other places. When we do use our week in Vegas….I love having South Point right there. Gambling is a little better, drinks are cheaper….they have Bingo, bowling, and movies…and so many restaurants. And very friendly people working!
Yep, and didn't have the back hotel section originally. It was just rectangular, but now the building is "T" shaped. I'm an engineer there and some of our original ladders still have "South Coast" spray-painted on the side
Ruby I like how u and ur hubby do Vegas. It’s a lot like my hubby and I. We eat and gamble and explore and gamble and eat and go sit by the pool and gamble some more lol. It’s a more chill version than most who party and club all night. Glad to see someone enjoy all the things the hotels have to offer. Maybe some day we will be lucky enough to run into you
I remember loving staying here about 12 years ago and I can see it hasn't changed much. The large rooms and the big spa was the BEST! I did notice the waterfalls weren't working - I wonder if that's forever or if they've been fixed? Staying at Tahiti Village this weekend and will definitely spend some time at SP since it's so close.
RUBY!! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!! We going to stay there! Hopefully !!we are so excited!! We never go anywhere! So we are excited and living for all your videos!! It's my mini vacations!! ♥ you! God bless you and Mr. Ruby!! We think you are the best! Because you are always so sweet and kind!!!
A couple of things not mentioned is the wide array of food choices and food deals, and that the gift shop and the liquor therein is very reasonably priced.
Went there a few years ago. There is a Blue Green Resort hotel connected next door. Went to South Point late night to gamble and have a few drinks. It was pretty nice. We ate there as well - would recommend it. It is off strip but its only about 10 minutes away straight shot downtown.
You are at the bowling center. That area has 64 lanes. There is also the bowling plaza up near the rodeo arena with an additional 60 lanes. 124 total bowling lanes at the facility. Home of many large national bowling events!
all-time favorite night at the South Point was in 2008 when the Bangles put on a concert at the pool. when Susanna said she should have brought her bathing suit she got quite the reaction. and lots of great concerts in the show room over the years, too many to mention. great sports book and the hot dog cart is something I never miss. great buffet but I can't remember the last time the line wasn't a mile long.
I always end up going back! Love the pool, fitness center, SPA (all of the little pool areas in the spa are great as well as the lounge area). Coffee stand is nice and quick, Buffet is great but casino is pretty smoky which I can't stand. So much to love but the beds are a bit hard. You have to switch rooms if you do. Parking is free and right off the highway if you want to go hiking at Mt Charleston which I always do. Scott from Milwaukee
as a local I agree South Point is a nice enough casino. Great movie theater. Some good basic food options - their high style is not all that special but it's good. It is not a special place but it's a good place - not something I would suggest you MUST see - but good basic value and it appeals to a market looking for basic. I agree - try it. Good value - clean - nice staff and easy on and off Rt. 15 for the fancy part of vegas if you want some of that
Stayed at SouthPoint for a week in February for the MEX Mobile DJ Expo. It’s large but instinctive. Great buffet, lots of different food options throughout. Bowling alley, movie theater, tons to do. Quick Uber to Fremont and the Strip.
Stayed at Southpoint for a conference. Not sure what to expect that far off strip, but pleasantly surprised. That deli just off the sport book had amazing desserts. Good coupon book. Used it daily. Uber worked out just fine for transportation. Free airport shuttle a plus. Really enjoyed the casino, theater, bowling alley, my room and the pool area. Nice family vibe to it.
My wife and I used to go to the South Point every year for the Glass Craft and Bead Expo (end of March/Beginning of April) (My wife was a fantastic glass artist). Anyway, we loved this hotel. For all the reasons you mentioned and also because you're not bombarded by the craziness of the strip. (though it's close enough you can still easily drive up to the strip if you like wading through the crowds and hucksters). I totally recommend South Point!
I work at a casino in Iowa and my coworkers stays there every time he goes to Vegas. He goes for a bowling tournament and it’s held there. He tells me that while it’s rather expensive compared to other hotels in Vegas, it is more than worth the money based on the amenities alone. I’ve never stayed there but I’m going to Vegas in a couple weeks for G2E and I hope to make a stop there!
Kinda random, but the Starbucks inside that hotel doesn't charge for water. Starbucks inside of hotels on the strip charge $2 (maybe 1.50, I don't remember) for their large. Which sucks, but is cheaper than buying bottled water, esp because it comes with ice. The only downside to the casino floor is that they do allow smoking so it can get pretty stinky in there, esp if you aren't a smoker.
After watching some poker vlogs done there, and doing more research, I've been thinking of staying at SPHC the next time I go. Your report has just further cemented that view!
Since Benny passed away they had to find someone else to pose for the sculpture! I happen to know the guy that posed for it and he is a judge in Wisconsin!! Thanks for the vid 😃😃😃
Love you Ruby. We stayed at the South Point for our sons cornhole tournament. Loved Silverado and Don Vitos. Really great quality dining. We were here in July - it was 110 out. But the pool was inexplicably freezing cold. Other than that, a great stay.
My wife and I have been here many times. I did not see anything about the great deserts they have next to the sports bar. We love to get a nice piece of cake and watch sports
As someone who has been a local of Vegas for a decade and who primary plays bingo and nickel slots only, this is my favorite hotel with a bingo hall. Since I moved out of Vegas this hotel has the best rooms compared to others that are off the strip or Fremont. Which is the hotels I like staying at, id highly recommend staying away from the strip or Fremont because they are much less hectic, that's why a majority of locals only go to casinos like it. Sam's town and sun coast are also hotels I frequent as well
I just gambled there a couple weeks ago and it's a vibrant and thriving property. I'm going back to Vegas is a few days and staying there for a night. I can't wait! I also liked that M&M cookie I bought there! It was as big as someones head!
Wow, I’m impressed. I thought it might be another Station type casino but this video peaks my interest in going for the South Point 400 package. My wife and I are considering the trip in October. Let me know if you two are going to be there,,,, I can talk cars with Mr. Ruby for hours.
We stayed at the grandview next door to south point but we ate at the buffet there a lot, gambled there quite a bit, definitely an under rated hotel!! Good prices, good food and good vibes!!
I enjoyed seeing them video you two. I know people who are VERY loyal to SP for various reasons like comps and they like the casino there, and basically go once a month, and now I see why. Haven’t been yet myself but I’d definitely consider it if I want to get off the strip.
We love South Point. Everything is reasonably priced compared to the strip; the rooms are big and comfortable; service is very good. Good odds on video poker and 3/2 blackjack. You didn't even show their sports book which IMO is the best in LV... thanks for posting another great video Ruby!
Our flight out of Vegas was delayed by a day and the Airline put us up at South Point for the night (March 1st this year). We were impressed. Great room, nice dining options, 3/2 blackjack. Interestingly, we loved the shower, so I think it was a problem with your room. We were on the 2nd floor though, so maybe the water pressure is a problem on the higher floors.
We stayed on the 11th floor in the end of February and our shower made a God-awful noise, turned out it was the tub diverter not going up all the way, so I just pushed it up and then all was fine. It sounded just like in this video. I loved the room, the bed was so comfortable and the shower was nice and hot! Our room overlooked the pool which I liked. Best video poker in Vegas according to many, lots of locals and pros play VP there.
Southpoint has a lot of playable video poker and a great selection of slots. The spa at Southpoint is great. My favorite place to eat at Southpoint is Del Mar deli. Amazing desserts and great deli sandwiches. Southpoint is a solid choice for gamblers and is very complete for food and other activities. We even got to see Charlie Murphy there in the theater before he died.
Would you stay at South Point Hotel?
i wouldn't stay there, but i would go for the buffet.
Maybe for the right price 🤑🤑
Absolutely
we love staying at the WYNN! but great review of south point

The slots at Southpiont USED to pay better than the strip casinos. But around 2014 they tightened up the slots.
I love this property. Big rooms, bowling alley and movie theater for the kids. Great food as well.
As a local, South Point is my go-to place. Movies, Bowling, 12 restaurants, great sports and race book, and free parking to boot!

It’s less than a half mile south of south point. Practically neighbors. 😊
We've stayed there a couple nights. It's a nice place for a one or two night stay and convenient to the airport.
The fact you put a Kenan And Kel clip is so cool lol 😎😎
Have stayed there several times. Love it! No complaints!
I’ve stayed here many times, it’s big spacious has so much to do with the movie theater, the bowling alley, the spa is great, the arcade and the pool is nice. 👍🏾❤️ great video as always Ruby and yes they give the coupons out at front desk so nice
You've been absolutely killing it. You're top 10 restaurant made us book 4 different spots for our trip.
I've stayed at the SP a couple of times for Super Bowl (21 years straight) weekend with the boys. I've been to Vegas maybe 30-35 times and SP is one of my favorites. I would stay there again but one of the guys I go with had a falling out with the professional gambler he associates with and through him we were able to get a lot of comps, so no more SP. I love the early morning breakfast at the The Coronado Café if just to people watch. We used to love the Stardust, Rio was okay and the Orleans I'd drink battery acid before I ever step in there again. When the wife and I go it used to be the Mirage, but now it's the Venetian.
My wife and I stayed at Southpoint on several occasions. Absolutely loved it every time.
You have the best Vegas videos, I love watching your reviews and mr. ruby does an excellent job filming.
This will be our 5th time coming back to South Point. They have the best whole pizzas from the bowling alley. The coupons you get at check in are huge $$ savings. The last two years and they made great improvements to the buffet, its incredible now (use the coupon) Then we can't wait to get the super late night NY strip with eggs. We also hit it for the Porterhouse or prime rib. Food is really good and the staff has always been great!
South Point is amazing. Love that place. Coronado cafe has some of the best food prices in all of Vegas after midnight. You get more for your money at that place than just about any casino hotel.
I recommend staying at South Point. Every year a group of us bowlers are here for the Military Bowling Tournament in August. We stay for a week and we get our room comp. Plus go into the Executive office and ask for a food comp for one of the fine restaurants. I've been given a food comp from $150 to $400. I give this outstanding casino hotel a 5 ⭐ rating.
Stayed a few times at SouthPoint and hung out there a few more. Very relaxed. Not for those looking for flash and wow factor. SouthPoint is for those that want to have a true vacation or lower key but fun night out... relaxed, good food, nice sports book, plenty of "area" bars in the casino area, and friendly crowd playing the tables. Lots of special events there, some open to the public. The Casino Collectables Association has their convention there in June. Plenty of freebies and discounts for hotel guests.
I've been here 3 times in the past 5 months and going again in 3 weeks. For all the reasons stated in this video is why I keep coming back! Personally for me, it is the Face Up Pai Gow and the abundance of Game King machines. One minor gripe was my mother being hassled by some woman wanting money for her fake jewelry near the doors by the self parking structure.
IDK if it's still in existence but the showroom hosted the Dennis Bono Show (my dad's a Henderson, NV resident whereas I'm from Detroit, MI). My dad & I were frequently in attendance every Thursday @ South Point's Showroom 4 the Dennis Bono Show (he hosted lots of the old-school entertainers such as Clint "Playground In My Mind" House, Deana Martin (Dean's daughter), Tony Orlando, etc.). Tickets were FREE (w/the Players' Club Card).
I have a timeshare across the street at Grandview (yes one of those people sucked in, for us back in 2007). Anyway, we decided to make the best of it and enjoy our timeshare there or trade for other places. When we do use our week in Vegas….I love having South Point right there. Gambling is a little better, drinks are cheaper….they have Bingo, bowling, and movies…and so many restaurants. And very friendly people working!
Yeah I have the timeshare also I like because south point is right there
Only 7 miles from the strip. A 15 minute drive. We stay here almost every trip because the rooms are comped.
Great video, Ruby! I can remember when the South Point first opened -- originally as the South Coast.
Yep, and didn't have the back hotel section originally. It was just rectangular, but now the building is "T" shaped. I'm an engineer there and some of our original ladders still have "South Coast" spray-painted on the side
Awesome vlog again Mr
& Mrs. Ruby. Keep up the great content. Love your videos. Viva!
Ruby I like how u and ur hubby do Vegas. It’s a lot like my hubby and I. We eat and gamble and explore and gamble and eat and go sit by the pool and gamble some more lol. It’s a more chill version than most who party and club all night. Glad to see someone enjoy all the things the hotels have to offer. Maybe some day we will be lucky enough to run into you
Ruby is made for TV! She has beauty and personality! Love her!! Keep up the great job of informing us!!
I remember loving staying here about 12 years ago and I can see it hasn't changed much. The large rooms and the big spa was the BEST! I did notice the waterfalls weren't working - I wonder if that's forever or if they've been fixed? Staying at Tahiti Village this weekend and will definitely spend some time at SP since it's so close.
Ruby, next time try Del Mar deli in the sports book, awesome sandwiches and huge deserts.
Desserts are wonderful and generous portions too 🧁
RUBY!! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!! We going to stay there! Hopefully !!we are so excited!! We never go anywhere! So we are excited and living for all your videos!! It's my mini vacations!! ♥ you! God bless you and Mr. Ruby!! We think you are the best! Because you are always so sweet and kind!!!
A couple of things not mentioned is the wide array of food choices and food deals, and that the gift shop and the liquor therein is very reasonably priced.
Went there a few years ago. There is a Blue Green Resort hotel connected next door. Went to South Point late night to gamble and have a few drinks. It was pretty nice. We ate there as well - would recommend it. It is off strip but its only about 10 minutes away straight shot downtown.
Free parking - NOT a small thing! I love South Point, it's one of the only joints in town that's both massive and reasonably priced.
You are at the bowling center. That area has 64 lanes. There is also the bowling plaza up near the rodeo arena with an additional 60 lanes. 124 total bowling lanes at the facility. Home of many large national bowling events!
Although I haven't been here in a long time. My sister in law is the CFO for this place.
all-time favorite night at the South Point was in 2008 when the Bangles put on a concert at the pool. when Susanna said she should have brought her bathing suit she got quite the reaction. and lots of great concerts in the show room over the years, too many to mention. great sports book and the hot dog cart is something I never miss. great buffet but I can't remember the last time the line wasn't a mile long.
I always end up going back! Love the pool, fitness center, SPA (all of the little pool areas in the spa are great as well as the lounge area). Coffee stand is nice and quick, Buffet is great but casino is pretty smoky which I can't stand. So much to love but the beds are a bit hard. You have to switch rooms if you do. Parking is free and right off the highway if you want to go hiking at Mt Charleston which I always do. Scott from Milwaukee
those games with manny and julia were epic.
as a local I agree South Point is a nice enough casino. Great movie theater. Some good basic food options - their high style is not all that special but it's good. It is not a special place but it's a good place - not something I would suggest you MUST see - but good basic value and it appeals to a market looking for basic. I agree - try it. Good value - clean - nice staff and easy on and off Rt. 15 for the fancy part of vegas if you want some of that
Stayed at SouthPoint for a week in February for the MEX Mobile DJ Expo. It’s large but instinctive. Great buffet, lots of different food options throughout. Bowling alley, movie theater, tons to do.
Quick Uber to Fremont and the Strip.
Stayed at Southpoint for a conference. Not sure what to expect that far off strip, but pleasantly surprised. That deli just off the sport book had amazing desserts. Good coupon book. Used it daily. Uber worked out just fine for transportation. Free airport shuttle a plus. Really enjoyed the casino, theater, bowling alley, my room and the pool area. Nice family vibe to it.
South Point is definitely the best hotel in Vegas I love the Management and employees in the reasonable prices great food definitely 5 🌟 star'
My wife and I used to go to the South Point every year for the Glass Craft and Bead Expo (end of March/Beginning of April) (My wife was a fantastic glass artist). Anyway, we loved this hotel. For all the reasons you mentioned and also because you're not bombarded by the craziness of the strip. (though it's close enough you can still easily drive up to the strip if you like wading through the crowds and hucksters). I totally recommend South Point!
My husband and I stayed there and we ready loved it. They have everything that you can think of. We are going back there again in Nov.!
Thanks for the tour. I will add this hotel to my Vegas list seems like a really nice place.
I work at a casino in Iowa and my coworkers stays there every time he goes to Vegas. He goes for a bowling tournament and it’s held there. He tells me that while it’s rather expensive compared to other hotels in Vegas, it is more than worth the money based on the amenities alone. I’ve never stayed there but I’m going to Vegas in a couple weeks for G2E and I hope to make a stop there!
Kinda random, but the Starbucks inside that hotel doesn't charge for water. Starbucks inside of hotels on the strip charge $2 (maybe 1.50, I don't remember) for their large. Which sucks, but is cheaper than buying bottled water, esp because it comes with ice.
The only downside to the casino floor is that they do allow smoking so it can get pretty stinky in there, esp if you aren't a smoker.
Thanks!
Love this review! We go to south point every year for a bowling tournament but usually stay on strip. Always been curious about staying at SouthPoint.
After watching some poker vlogs done there, and doing more research, I've been thinking of staying at SPHC the next time I go. Your report has just further cemented that view!
I'm booked in for a week in November, first time visitor to South Point..can't wait !
Since Benny passed away they had to find someone else to pose for the sculpture! I happen to know the guy that posed for it and he is a judge in Wisconsin!! Thanks for the vid 😃😃😃
Love you Ruby. We stayed at the South Point for our sons cornhole tournament. Loved Silverado and Don Vitos. Really great quality dining. We were here in July - it was 110 out. But the pool was inexplicably freezing cold. Other than that, a great stay.
My wife and I have been here many times. I did not see anything about the great deserts they have next to the sports bar. We love to get a nice piece of cake and watch sports
As someone who has been a local of Vegas for a decade and who primary plays bingo and nickel slots only, this is my favorite hotel with a bingo hall. Since I moved out of Vegas this hotel has the best rooms compared to others that are off the strip or Fremont. Which is the hotels I like staying at, id highly recommend staying away from the strip or Fremont because they are much less hectic, that's why a majority of locals only go to casinos like it. Sam's town and sun coast are also hotels I frequent as well
I just gambled there a couple weeks ago and it's a vibrant and thriving property. I'm going back to Vegas is a few days and staying there for a night. I can't wait! I also liked that M&M cookie I bought there! It was as big as someones head!
Never stayed at South Point but did eat at Zenshin. Loved it.
Wow, I’m impressed. I thought it might be another Station type casino but this video peaks my interest in going for the South Point 400 package. My wife and I are considering the trip in October.
Let me know if you two are going to be there,,,, I can talk cars with Mr. Ruby for hours.
I had my best Vegas trip ever 15 years ago and yes we stayed at the South Coast aka the South Point Hotel👍
We stayed at the grandview next door to south point but we ate at the buffet there a lot, gambled there quite a bit, definitely an under rated hotel!! Good prices, good food and good vibes!!
I enjoyed seeing them video you two. I know people who are VERY loyal to SP for various reasons like comps and they like the casino there, and basically go once a month, and now I see why. Haven’t been yet myself but I’d definitely consider it if I want to get off the strip.
We love South Point. Everything is reasonably priced compared to the strip; the rooms are big and comfortable; service is very good. Good odds on video poker and 3/2 blackjack. You didn't even show their sports book which IMO is the best in LV... thanks for posting another great video Ruby!
just got home from five days at South Point. I had a good time. You need to catch The Spazmatics when they are playing
Our flight out of Vegas was delayed by a day and the Airline put us up at South Point for the night (March 1st this year). We were impressed. Great room, nice dining options, 3/2 blackjack. Interestingly, we loved the shower, so I think it was a problem with your room. We were on the 2nd floor though, so maybe the water pressure is a problem on the higher floors.
I've stayed there many times, usually on upper floors. Never a problem like that, so I think they just had a freaky shower.
We stayed on the 11th floor in the end of February and our shower made a God-awful noise, turned out it was the tub diverter not going up all the way, so I just pushed it up and then all was fine. It sounded just like in this video. I loved the room, the bed was so comfortable and the shower was nice and hot! Our room overlooked the pool which I liked. Best video poker in Vegas according to many, lots of locals and pros play VP there.
I always heard good things about South Point . Thanks for this video Ruby!!
Southpoint has a lot of playable video poker and a great selection of slots. The spa at Southpoint is great. My favorite place to eat at Southpoint is Del Mar deli. Amazing desserts and great deli sandwiches. Southpoint is a solid choice for gamblers and is very complete for food and other activities. We even got to see Charlie Murphy there in the theater before he died.
One of the best sports books no question. And that deli next to it is good
I love South point. It's a great mid tier experience, at a reasonable price.
I love there pool at night it’s the golden color reflection from the glare of the hotel windows
Next trip to Vegas will definitely be at the South Point. Thanks Ruby.
They have the Indian National Finals Rodeo in October never been there for that but hope to attend one of these times
The shower part has me WEAKKKKK lololol!! ....I know I'm late to the party, and I'm sure a million people said that already...but... LOLOLOL
