BaccaratĪt South Point, it seems that baccarat is not always in great demand. But for now, the casino floor is just par at best as its selection of table games was disappointingly a bit scarce. The property is only in its 13th year, but if South Point updated their casino floor they could probably earn themselves the nod for best local casino because of how close it is to the main Vegas strip. There is nothing visually stunning about the 80,000 square foot gaming floor as it is simply designed in the shape of a giant rectangle. Though South Point’s casino floor is not mind blowing, it is complete with a hotel and spa so we still find it to be a most serviceable venue for locals, and for tourists who still want fast access to the strip but are also looking to budget wisely. Other attractions for its locals are a large bowling alley and a 16 theater movie house.

There are multiple entryways into the property aside from the main entrance, including one that connects directly to the sportsbook. In particular, it isn’t uncommon to see big crowds with people wearing cowboy hats for various special events like gun shows and rodeos in the Equestrian Center Showroom which seats 4,400.Īs most strip casinos now charge for parking, the South Point’s valet, parking garage, and outdoor lot remain free. There is, however, a shuttle service that runs between South Point and the airport.Įven though it is mostly frequented by locals, the South Point and its Southern California theme attracts a large number of tourists. Though it is located on Las Vegas Blvd., South Point is technically not part of “the strip” as it is a few miles south of Mandalay Bay. Independently owned by Michael John Gaughan, the South Point casino has been open for business since December 22, 2005.
