We chose South Point because we had a car and didn't need to be centrally located to the Strip. It also had the main ingredients we needed for a spring break trip with a child: kid friendly food, swimming pool, bowling alley and movie theatre. \n The hotel is very manageable. It's large but you don't have a five mile hike like the Strip hotels from the reception to the elevator banks to your room. The reception desk was easy to locate and a short walk to the elevators (which had a security guard checking for room keys before you could go into an elevator). Our room overlooked the parking garage and possibly a club. We could see the Strip from our window.\n Our room was quite spacious and clean. Like almost all Vegas hotels, no mini fridge so we could stash our water bottles. Our bathroom was quite large with a separate shower and toilet from the sink. \n My biggest gripe about the hotel is that the mattresses were really hard. Seems like a trend in most hotels today to put these hard mattresses on beds since they know they are going to be abused or serially slept on. Neither my husband or I got a decent night of rest while there. Minor gripe was I couldn't fall asleep one night from the sound of a heavy dance beat vibrating up. \n The average people we saw at the hotel skewed older (we saw a very old woman pushing her walker, bent over it, clad in zebra print with a lanyard about her neck with her players club card swinging from it), urban and Asian. It also seemed slightly less nicotine hazy which I'm good with.
