More Comments For South Point

It was a nice place to gamble. They kept the drinks flowing. Had a room in the new tower. Clean room. People were very friendly. Would stay again.

Libra, if you go anywhere in Vegas, don't expect great food at the coffee shops or the buffets (unless they're getting $25 and up - I mean, what do you want for $13.95???). They have a nice lineup of good to very good restaurants at the South Point. The Prime Rib Loft and Silverado Steakhouse are notable, Baja Miguels is quite good with large portions, and the real standout is the Oyster Bar. HUGE shrimp cocktails, excellent pan roasts and a knockout Seafood Diavolo. Try a real restaurant next time (if there is one for you)...

We stayed at South Point Jan 08. We found it to be very pleasant. It offered quick and easy access for parking our vehicle and getting to the room. A great place to stay if in Vegas as stop point for local hikes or going to grand canyon. Area/location is very nice. Easy on/off highway-no traffic issues. The hotel and room was clean. We don't eat at Buffets so no comment there. Silverado Steak House & Big Sur Bar very good with service and food. They even have flourless deserts. Hotel has a real nice spa, theater, bowling and entertainment shows. It offered several nice little bars for that glass of wine. Noted a huge new pool being built which looks great. If you use the free shuttle to the strip; you should then take the tram from the hotel drop off (if you walk from drop off probably not so good) Sure beats driving down & parking. We're not the big gamblers so the strip via shuttle few hours was good. If you drive to the new Sky Walk at Grand Canyon West - pack a lunch and drinks. Only one small choice out there for eating. It is easy drive and worth the trip; just take your own food and have patience. Hoover Dam is getting a new road and that is interesting.

MR. GAUGHAN, THE FOOD SUCKS! Most areas of the casino floor is poorly ventilated. The pool area is nice, rooms were average, but OK for the $75 price. The food: buffet was average to poor for the price (even free tickets won't entice us to eat there again; the cafe was some of the worst food we'd eaten in a very long time. The hot turkey sandwich ($9)was terrible; meat was thin, salty and devoid of any turkey flavor, potatoes tasted like those in a TV dinner, stuffing was edible, but tasted as if it came from a box. Our waiter was very nice and appologized. The expensive upscale restaurant might be good, but we didn't want to chance it. We'd previously stayed here when it was the South Coast and hoped new ownership would improve the food. We will pass on this place in the future.

I was quite impressed by this hotel. The size of the rooms are very good and are nicely furnished. The bathroom is also a fair size. The hotel has lots of facilities, most of which I never even tried out i.e Cinema, bowling ally. But the other stuff like the pool area & casino floor was just as good as some of the more famous hotels on the strip. There are plenty of slot machines & gaming tables and a nice comfortable sports book area. It has some good restaurants & has a very good buffet. The only downside was the hassle of getting to the strip. Even though a bus was provided free of charge, you could still find yourself waiting quite a while for it to arrive. Plus the last 1 back at night was 12am from Mandalay Bay. So if you head to the strip in the morning & feel tired by the afternoon, its a bit stressful having to come all the way back and then maybe go back out later. But overall I rate the Hotel & Casino very highly.
