I Took $1,000 To South Point Las Vegas & It Was TOO MUCH MONEY

#lasvegas #vegas #besthotels
South Point prices are so insane! This property is amazing!
$4 drinks! Breakfasts for $8! Gigantic Prime steaks for $30! Beautiful rooms for $70.
I brought $1,000 to spend over my three-day trip, and after dining at all of the best restaurants, doing a lavish dinner each night, visiting all of the bars & ordering the craziest drinks, and enjoying activities such as a concert and extremely comfortable pool day, I still could not spend all $1,000 and left the property with hundreds of dollars in surplus cash.
This is the last example of a true Las Vegas hotel: an upscale property with fantastic service, various options/venues for people all ages, and prices so cheap you would think you were teleported back to 1981. No wonder why this one of the most popular and best hotels in Las Vegas.
South Point is simply an incredible hotel for the money - it is the best deal in Las Vegas and the perfect hotel for people on a budget but still wanting an unbelievable Vegas experience.
My stay at South Point was delightful, and one of the main reasons for that was I able to explore the entire property and highlight every single one of the brightest and best moments in this video:
- Check-in Process
- Room Tour (Pros & Cons)
- Fine Dining (Silverado - Michael's Gourmet Room - Primarily Prime Rib)
- Casual Dining (Oyster Bar- Starbucks - Market)
- Bars (Let 'er Buck Lounge - USBC Bar)
- A Full Pool Day
- Activities - (Concerts - Bowling Alley 0 Arcade - Movie Theatre - Gym/Spa)
- Gambling (The Casino Floor is Massive)
-- And so much more!!
Plus, this video is unlike any other South Point Las Vegas video because I reveal every single cost and show you how to have the exact same marvelous experience I did!

    One of my favorite hotels. 1. free valet and free parking 2. Coffee makers in the rooms (K-Cups) 3. Great restaurants 4. The coffee shop offers great deals for late nite diners who want something to eat before going to bed. 5. 3 to 2 blackjack 6. Video blackjack machines at the bar allow splitting and doubling down. 7. Refrigerators in the rooms 8. Nice spa 9. Coupon books when you check in that include free cocktails and beers. 10. Great deli in the sportsbook 11. Great sportsbook 12. Good hotdog cart in sportsbook 13. I love their oyster bar. It is what old Vegas used to be before the beancounters wanted to nickel and dime everything.

    As a 'local'; I always recommend South Point to visitors. One of the main reasons you enjoyed your trip was (as you pointed out / tips, etc) was happy employees. The owner, Michael Gaughan; takes very good care of the employees. Michael IS Old School Vegas. BTW: They feature a large poker room, too.

    I’ve been to south point a few times but last time I went I didn’t like it. One of the dealers was being a rude SOB. he busted and thought he got 21 and started taking our money. When confronted, he was even more rude and acted like he knew what he was doing. Anyways, the cameras showed he did bust and ended up paying us.other than that, their buffet, bowling, and low minimums are good. I will say their rewards program is absolute garbage. I remember they had a promotion where u had to play for a thousand bucks to get a $25 Walmart gift card lol

    I absolutely LOVE South Point. It's been our go-to for a few years now. Love watching football all day Saturday or Sunday in the sports book - with $1.50 hot dogs on a cart nearby. Who does that any more? These guys know who their customer is and how to treat them. And don't forget parking is free too.

    Hold on..... You missed the iconic $1.50 hotdog stand! South Point owner Michael Gaughan started selling hot dogs in 1979 when he opened Barbary Coast. He refuses to change the price and vows to always sell them at $1.50. It's located next to the Sportsbook. I have lived here in Vegas for 20 years and have been going to Southpoint since the day it opened. Southpoint also has the best poker room in Vegas.

    Dude, you can feel the LOVE! True enthusiasm and appreciation for VEGAS value we used to remember! Although I was staying at Elara (loved it btw) I made it my mission to visit several locals casinos (Red Rock, GVR, Palace Station, and SP) over the Labor day weekend, and beyond. I was so jazzed to see casinos that were new to me. And REAL CUSTOMER SERVICE! Coming back to the strip seemed deflating to say the least. The smell of weed, high table minimums, poor returns on gaming, , construction, and fees for everything. Need I say more? Those two conglomerates that control the strip have acquired and accumulated more than they can handle, and things are just getting outta control. My next visit will certainly be more focused on the locals market for sure. Here's to another great video (raises glass).

"You're My Soul & Inspiration" is the song that most strikes a chord with me to this day, I think, because my grandparents listened to a lot of Oak Ridge Boys and they recorded a cover of that song too and it was a paramount part of the soundtrack of my early life. 🥰

The resort has everything you discuss. I have to say that on my own channel, you can find my many videos on this property. And yes, I had my birthday a few years ago at Michael's restaurant there. The service puts even Michelin star restaurants to shame. I highly encourage people who have dined around the world to experience the highest level of luxurious service at Michael's. It reminds me of the staff service from the television show "The Gilded Age." Thanks for highlighting South Point. Now, let's hope they don't increase the prices like other greedy casino resorts in Vegas.

    My fiancé and son work at SP. I have 2 good friends that worked at Prime Rib and all 4 like/d working there. All get paid decently and above average for the city. The only real big complaint we really hear about is the room rates are slightly higher than most think they should be. In a lot of cases you can pay more at SP than a strip casino. That said it evens out with the cheaper prices of everything else.

The what I call the "bang-bang" pool was included in the resort fee; however, I was so taken aback by this cooperate greed of an additional $50 charge for the spa pool. I hadn't been to Vegas in about four years, and boy was I surprised with this crazy add on fee. Shame on GVR! I guess I'm going to have to give SP a whirl the next time I'm in town.

    Hi James, great content as always! Totally agree - the "Old Vegas" is long gone. I fly out to Vegas 4 to 6 times a year from Traverse City, Michigan. I noticed my comps have been going down these past two years - while I spend more money at each visit. I found MGM Rewards still has some decent comps remaining. Caesars have been lousy for comps and it seems like Venetian/Palazzo has been cheap with the free rooms lately. I'm coming out in three weeks for a golf tournament we're staying at Mandalay Bay, MGM and then last two nights at Circa. I'm booking all the dinners for our group of 5 for a week. I'm booking a high-end Steakhouse, a great Sushi place, and Italian fare. Using your previous Vegas content as my guide to great dining!

Just have to tip the bartender for the drinks served. Cash out and and continue to enjoy a great resort and casino. 👍 24 hour sports book. A great race horse sports book closes after the last of horse races. The Mexican restaurant bar area also has a happy hour. Well worth the happy hour. 👍 All in all, the South Point has everything you need for any stay.

    I really think all these big venues drive up the cost too. Used to stay at Monte Carlo until Tmobile arena. Then Holiday Inn Desert Club...the Sphere has ruined that for us. Based on you video - I will be looking at South Pointe

    They’re gonna have to work very hard to justify their room rates. Being as far north as it is, and with the rooms being smaller than many other offerings on the strip, it’s gonna be a hard sell so far.

    @@uptildawnltd3253 They're banking heavily on the convention crowd, and although conventions have rebounded somewhat they're still well below where they were at in 2019 so that's another major looming concern for them. I can't help but imagine in an alternate reality without the 2008 financial crisis what it would have been like if Fontainebleau had opened right on time as originally planned in 2008 or so, just several years after Encore opened. Because Wynn/Encore are unmistakably Fontainebleau's most direct competition, and although there will be some clientele who LOVE Wynn/Encore but also have been thirsting for a new high-end experience for a long while now and, thus, will consider Fontainebleau................the flip side of that is that Fontainebleau not opening on Wynn/Encore's heels has given Wynn/Encore the opportunity to cement and sinew their reputation as the #1 Best Ranked Resort on the Strip and remain so for sooooooooo long: which only further adds to the pressure in Fontainebleau's camp to live up to their hype.

    You are right about value being gone, practically non-existent, from the strip. I still remember the days in the 90s and early 2000s where you could find inexpensive food and drink across the strip. Imperial Palace (now Linq) use to have plenty of cheap food and drink. Cheap drinks were everywhere. The last time I was in Vegas I stopped at Cromwell for a soda (fountain drink - not cocktail) at the snack bar. It was $7. $7 for a fountain drink. How the hell does a mere mortal even afford Vegas anymore? A few nights later I went to see a movie at the Palms. A large soda in the movie theater was $5. Movie theater concessions are less than the strip. That is pure crazy!

It hosts the USBC(Bowling) National Tournament every couple of years in a separate bowling alley than you visited. If you happen to visit again next year between March and June, You should take like 10 min and walk into the Stadium Bowling Alley. It's right next to the rodeo. It's the more impressive bowling alley of the two. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.

Your right the place was spotless, the folks were great, I had a medical problem while I was there, they helped me big time. The late desk clerk in charge was the best to best. I want to Thank her so much for what she did for me. I needed a electric chair, and she was able to get one, after I was told they were sold out. I am going back in Dec 2023 for another 7 days.

    I mostly agree with your thesis, EXCEPT you need to check out Sam's Town. That, too, is a last bastion of old-school your-money-goes-a-LONG-way Vegas that is widely respected. 🥰 My educated guess as to how you'd rate this resort is a 3. Your tone wasn't quite "Definite" territory at least to me, but unmistakably something you'd recommend everyone to check out at least once. ☺

    When I first stayed at SP it was calling South Coast. From staying at Gold Coast often they gave me free room offers to stay there. I immediately loved it. So clean and I love breakfast at Coranado Cafe. The Sorts and Race book was combined and small now they are separate and large. The Hot Dog cart was 75 cents. My only complaint is I wish the water in pool was warmer. At Gold Coast it’s like a bathtub it’s so warm. Best place to play Video Poker bar none.
