We recently drove to Las Vegas to get married and spent a few days before and after the wedding ceremony at the South Point Hotel and Casino.
They have excellent rates available to begin with but we were able to take advantage of their Super Saver rates during our stay. Further, we were upgraded to a spacious room on the 24th floor with a nice view of the pool area when the hotel staff realized that we were getting married!
The hotel is newer, the rooms are clean and spacious, the service is excellent and there are a variety of resturants and activities to choose from.
The only thing I did not enjoy was having to walk through the casino to reach the reservation desk from the garage elevators. I was carrying my wedding dress and did not appreciate the cigarette smell lingering in the casino. The same was true on the day of our wedding. My husband and I had to walk through the casino in our wedding attire to reach the front doors where the limo was picking us up. I would have preferred a clean lobby any day.
All in all, our stay at the South Point was very enjoyable. We tried their Garden buffet for dinner and breakfast as well as their Italian restaurant called Don Vito's, which I would highly recommend.
We also spent an evening soaking in their hot tub located outside in the pool area. It was a good size with water falls and not overly crowded.
I would definitely recommend this hotel but be warned that is is pretty far south on Las Vegas Blvd. and somewhat isolated. The good thing is that the parking is free so if you have a car, the location is not a problem.
