Every Vegas hotel is trying to keep everyone in the casino for as long as possible. They are having more events there during the NFR. With all the cattle/horse crowd on hand, that could have been utilized. Probably would have enjoyed some 'country' entertainer in the show room, but had no desire to see Vicki Lawrence (!) Their big equestrian facility stood empty all weekend. Great room, linens and lotions and their housekeeping is just spotless! More of the bull riding events were held right at South Point our first trip. Use their fun book coupons for free meals, wine, etc. Food was excellent both at the buffet and cafe. We will rent a car next time, but I really don't feel a need to leave South Point. Comped the shuttle to Thomas and Mack, but had to ask the manager (desk clerks insisted on $20 per person). No free shuttle to the strip anymore, but valet told us of hourly, reasonable shuttle to Excaliber from timeshare facility right next door. Never more than a handfull of people outside and we had the whole place to ourselves one evening. Soaked up the sun by the jaccuzzi (pool area is beautiful/clean, but not as 'perfect' as our first visit). I think with some small tweaks it could be GREAT. Sixty dollars to go dancing or to the mall is outrageous and will keep me from staying at South Point in the future. It will cost you $25 plus tip each way if you want to go 'down town'. Even if there was a charge for a 24 hour pass to go back and forth it would be preferable to being completely isolated and dependent upon taxi cabs.

If that is not possible it would be a significant selling point if the resort provided a shuttle to the strip. I recognize that the owner of South Point is not pursuing the Hip Hop demographic but a simple club would help. You can sit on the casino floor which I do not find relaxing or you can go upstairs and listen to a bunch of televisions in the Mexican bar. If you want to have a drink at South Point you have two alternatives. I felt like I had my role and the employees had theirs and that rules were rules. The training could be improved by focusing more on customer satisfaction. I'm guessing that this resort has a very well thought out training curriculum that is focused on roles and responsibilities. If you are looking for a place to gamble, sleep and eat this is a great choice. I have been to many hotels that are not remotely as nice as this one.

The food is good and the prices are very reasonable. The housekeeping staff does an excellent job. This is an interesting property to review.
