    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!

    What I dont get is.. Vegas is always packed. So they could lower the cost of drinks, food, rooms...but they dont because ppl keep paying the ridiculous prices. With all the big venues, sports teams and events (F1). It is nothing more than greed. We go off strip to eat, drink and next trip staying off the strip. Thanks for your video.

    Also: that's sooooooooo cool you checked out the Righteous Brothers residency. 😇
    Even though my musical tastes are primarily electronic dance music and country-leaning, I have an utmost respect for this duo and they truly are a national treasure. "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. 🥰

    I was in Vegas last week and stayed at GVR. Our daily room rate was $200+. The resort fee was $55 and there was an additional charge of $50/person/daily to utilize the spa pool. 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.

    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.

    The South Point is a great property! It just has a great feel to it. They have the best breakfast buffet in town at $13.95 m-f with a players card. Great selection and food quality at that price. The Coronado Cafe also has some great Chinese food too! It's getting a bit pricey but the quality is good. The only restaurant that I don't recommend BIG TIME is Baja Miguels. I went there once and that was enough. The Mexican food you get at Disneyland is 10 times better. Once again, a really nice property to eat and hang out at. Plus they still have free parking too!

    If MGM stopped shafting everybody , and people got owner occupied casinos back it would be a change for the better , all the nickel and dimming all goes back too MGM , resort fees , paid parking etc etc etc all started by MGM ! AND if “ South Point “ can offer all the luxury and Quality for the prices you stated , it shows you how much the Strip Casinos are racking in the profits , they could charge half the prices and still make decent profit margins, MGM will destroy the goose that lays the Golden egg , they’ll just leave a mess behind and rely on their foreign Cash cows like Dubai and China .

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

    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.

    24 hour sports book. A great race horse sports book closes after the last of horse races.

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.

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.

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).

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!

    I've been a loyal MGM Resorts customer for 15 years. We usually go once a month. I recently discovered the South Point and I love it! I'm considering giving them mall my action now since MGM had this horrible hacking problem and bed bugs.

    I really liked their buffet last time I visit. They also have a world class sports book. I don't think I've ever gambled there but I do like visiting for the buffet. Another bargain is the Casablanca / Virgin River in Mesquite. It isn't Vegas but if you want a Vegas experience without the Vegas price tag, it is worth a trip.

    We booked Christmas night dinner at P.P this year on the way in for my 50th birthday celebration mostly because a lot of Vegas weren't offering or were closed because it was xmas. We had never been to South Point and what a mistake. Place was banging ,meal and service was great and all price point of tables . My husbands stepped out for a smoke during dinner and won $500 in a slot in that 10 mins. With the free valet and service it certainly DID feel like old Vegas. Good to see you back in Vegas !

    We discovered South Point in 2021 after our flight was cancelled and Alaska put us up there for 2 nights. Such a great value and very impressed with the food. One of the afternoons we sat at the bar in the back playing the same $20 for a few hours and getting free drinks. We also had some pretty good slot wins while we were there. Great video!

    Southpoint isn't the only "local's casino" that provides value. Many of the local's casinos throughout Vegas provide great bang for your $. That includes many of the casinos in downtown.

I didn’t know the Righteous Brothers were even still touring …good for them. Enjoyable video as always Sir 😎😎😎

    I am a local and spent a week on the strip a few weeks ago and I cannot tell you how disappointed I was in EVERYTHING. From the workers who could have cared less about being there to prices so high they made my eyes water, I am done. I have never been more disappointed in the 20 years that I have lived here. South Point, however, never disappoints. The business that they do there is off the charts.

They have the Red Shirt cleaning crew wiping down all public areas. The restrooms are clean, with dry, rubbish-free floors and dry sink counters!

    Watching his videos we've gotten to know James. We know that he has a taste for the finer things in life. However, as many tourists are, he's tired of getting nickel-and-dimed everywhere he goes. South Point is a breath of fresh air and a reminder of what Vegas used to be.

    Drinks at the pool are like 7 bucks and their really good...the gym is always empty and fresh and nice. M casino, down the road...same drink 40 ! Breakfast at SP is just about impossible, long lines Buzz down to M ..easy no line Breakfast or go to an off the Casino restaurant nearby, the Casino isn't a jail you can come and go, it's not the strip plenty of local places super close. Oh...parking at SP is awesome and free. MIGUEL'S Mexican for lunch is a hidden great deal, Noone wants to go up the staircase so it's empty lol. The buffet is so popular now its crowded to death the line wraps around the casino floor fahgetta bout it.. midnight steak n eggs at colorado Cafe $6.45 😋 nd don't tell me you're disappointed with the steak it's 6 bucks ya cheap skates!! Lolol

    Hey you're letting out my secret. I'm an old guy been going to Vegas all my life. But fun Vegas is gone thanks to corporate greed. However South Point is great. I drive in from California and stop at South Point give my car to valet and go no further. Great prices. Race and sports books are great. Food is actually affordable and service is good. The Club is worth it. I just hope they don't change.

    Southpoint AKA low-point is a good place to go just to get a room and then get away. If you are craps player do not waste your time here. There are better craps tables at an Indian casinos, as far as the slots in poker not too bad and Buffet you know whatever. Overall staff on the floor and service is great but I would say the crops is one of the worst in the industry and that is pretty much well-known if you like craps. They have no all tall small no fire bed know nothing it is literally that plus dealers trying to make your life hell. And unless they remodeled the rooms and you are on the side that gets direct sun in the morning, you will need to bring I covering otherwise you will be woken up is a joke. They hang the curtains the wrong, so they do not extend to the outcropping of the wall you must somehow magically get the curtain to touch the other wall. On a positive note housekeeping will give you tape😂😂

    You missed one of the major attractions there albeit given the category but the Arena and Competition bowling alley in the back. You can go see all sorts of equestrian events for free there. And the USBC bowling alley is huge. It’s kind of for whoever is into that kind of stuff, but still even when you think you’ve seen it all there’s still more to see. The Budweiser Clydesdales stay there frequently and usually every year they bring them through the casino to pick the winner of the Super Bowl at the sportsbook.
    I worked there for 5 yrs at the bell desk and loved it. Gaughan takes care of his employees well and the constant return guests take care of us.
    Even though I’ve switched careers I still go there as a local to eat and play and go to events.
