New member - happy to be here!
« on: April 23, 2011, 05:46:36 AM »
Hi - Bob from MA. We visit Las Vegas at least once a year and always interested in getting up to date information. Our next trip is in August. 3 nights at South Point and 2 nighta at the Golden Nugget.
When he said he was from the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms I was hoping he was making a delivery.

Wow - thanks for the welcome!  We've never stayed at South Point before (although we've walked through a couple of times) and had a couple of questions:

My wife and I play low stakes blackjack & .25 video poker. Does South Point have any full pay games at that level?

Also, it appears that even though the rooms are the same, the hgher up your room is the more expensive it becomes. I know it's a subjective question, but do you find it worth the cost to get a higher floor with a view?

Any other tips or suggestions regarding South Point is greatly appreciated.

I'm comped so have never paid for rooms at South Point but if you get the side facing the strip, it may be worth it to YOU if your going to be relaxing in front of the window.  As far as games go, I don't play table so can't help you there. However, there is lots to play at the .25 level in Video Poker.  This sounds crazy but we seldom make time to go to the movies at home, so we go when were staying at a hotel that has a movie theater. It's a nice break from gambling. After the movies we hit up the ice cream shop. :)

You'll find very good and reasonably priced restaurants, steakhouse, Italian, we love the coffee shop.  Very high end would be Michael's.  We have not eaten at the buffet in  a long time so don't know about that one.  Very nice showroom, great pool area.  Easy drive to Silverton or M.  It's actually located on the strip, just drive north and bam  your there. One of my favorite benefits, they have .30 cb too for  your play!  If your on facebook, they have a active fb page you may want to check out.  Mr. G himself is a frequent reader and sometimes post and answeres LOTS of questions.  I love it when he does that.
Best Regards,
Lolly

Welcome Bob! I can't help with SP questions (only been there once, on the way back from a trip the M), but there are a few on here that are SP experts and will probably chime in :)

I do have a seldom used facebook account. I will have to look for my password. Then I can see what is up at SP.

A new mission.
