Rooms clean and up to date, staff all incredibly friendly and helpful, lots to do, spa is amazing, fun, fun, fun!

We spent three nights at SouthPoint, from February 9-12, 2012.

The rooms are perfectly adequate, though less than nice.
The pool area is void of much in the way of shade or grass.
The food is expensive and not very good, on par with amusement parks.
The Steak-N-Shake had a 20 minute line just for takeout.
The beds were ok, though the pillows were overstuffed, which I found uncomfortable.
The phones in the room did not work.
Wifi is not included, and they charge $14/day PER COMPUTER. Though it's free from the lobby.

I could forgive all of the above.

What I can't forgive is the air quality inside the hotel was awful.

I'm having a hard time understanding why someone would spend the hundreds of millions
of dollars to build a place like SouthPoint, only to poison the guests by not ventillating the
facility properly. I understand that gambling and cigarettes go together. But, I fail to
understand why the hotel and event center would tolerate such lousy air circulation.
It was exceptionally poor in the common areas, especially near the event center.

So, unless you have a really good reason to stay at SouthPoint, spend the extra few dollars
and stay at a nicer place, or just bring a gas mask.

We have stayed there 4 times with our two younger children, while passing through Las Vegas. We don't gamble. The pool area is great. Bowling and movie theatres are very nice. Many good places to eat on site. A really good choice for families.

This hotel is a significant distance from the main part of the Strip ( about 2 miles), so if you are looking to Casino Hop without a car, this place isn't for you. That being said, the Casino is nice, not smoky, with a decent selection of games. The buffet is fairly standard, but is a good deal most nights (Friday Seafood buffet is a little overpriced for what you get). The Prime Rib Room is excellent. Rooms are comfortable. King rooms have a loveseat as well if you just want to sit and relax. Bathrooms are nicely appointed, but the Shower/tub combo is a bit shallow if you are looking for a good soak. They have a shuttle available to go to the airport and strip, but a car is really necessary to see the rest of Las Vegas
