With a current total of 2,163 rooms, including the top floor containing all suites, guests can enjoy views of the glittering Las Vegas valley or the serenity of the surrounding mountainscape. Each oversized guest room functions more like a mini-suite with state-of-the-art plasma screens and high-speed internet connections. Rooms feature pacific color patterns reminiscent of the Southern California lifestyle. Suites range in size from 900 to 2,500 sq. ft.

We offer customers an all-around value for their dollar. From the restaurants to the bowling and movies, to the showroom and spa to the casino, you won’t find a better value for your dollar.

While considered to be a local’s casino, Fitzgerald said, “We are primarily a local’s casino that attracts the savvy Vegas tourist. We are farther away from all of the hustle and bustle of the Strip. Those tourists that have already been there and done that love the South Point for the value and the comfort factor. If you want to relax and gamble on your vacation without spending every dollar, the South Point is a perfect fit. We have everything under one roof. It is an extremely convenient property.”
