| - My reviews are few and far between because I'm a creature of habit. I simply don't want to risk going somewhere new and possibly being disappointed. It's a function of age, I think. In any event, if you're ever searching for me, I'm very easy to find because I'm usually in one of only ten places.
Except for Stateline, South Point is probably the farthest casino from my house. The only reason I knew that it even existed, was because I got roped into bowling there one summer. However, I found the casino to be very bright, clean, and always bustling. The upstairs bowling lanes followed in kind with the atmosphere of the casino.
Unfortunately I have never eaten in any of their many restaurants, but they all look nice.
Back to the casino...It has all the usual slot machines, table games, a poker room, etc., but for some reason, they recently got rid of their penny Keno machines. It's a shame because that's one of favorite games.
On the other hand, this place has a 24hr gift shop, which you can't find in other locals' casinos (I consider South Point a locals' casino because it's part of the Coast Casinos family.) The cigars in the gift shop are low-priced and the selection is well above average.
That's important to me because I do most of my gambling in the wee hours of the morning. It's actually worth the 30 minute drive, just to so I can buy a cigar to smoke while I play the penny slots.
If I ever eat there, I'll be sure to update my review, and possibly move it to 4 stars.
Who knows...If they bring back the penny Keno, they might even get 5 stars.
