Heading back with a friend from an event in Phoenix, I decided a bed would be better than crashing on his couch and looked to see what Hotel Tonight had to offer. One option was South Point for $40. While not close to The Strip (or anything at all really), South Point is about 5 minutes from my friends house. And he said the casino was pretty nice, and heard the rooms were fine, so I decided to give them a shot. It was a great decision.\n\nRooms - 4.5 Stars - great value! I paid $40 for a Sunday night from Hotel Tonight, and only after I booked the hotel did I figure out how to book a second night on the app. But the standard price for the second night was only $50. By far, the best room I've had in the $40-$50 range. Room was HUGE with 2 beds, and a spacious bathroom. It was well furnished and clean. It's not 5-star luxurious, but it's far nicer than many of the hotels on/near The Strip and downtown. \n\nCasino - 3.5 stars - a bit dead on Sunday night, but was much more active and vibrant on Monday night. They have a decent poker room, but because of the location, not a lot of action going on here. There was typically only one or two NL Hold 'Em games going, and typically a short wait to get in on a game. Sports Book is really nice. Bars are kind of ho-hum, with a rather bland selection of beer. (The best beer on tap was Gordon Biersch Octoberfest - acceptable but not exciting)\n\nRestaurant Selection - 4 stars - Del Mar Cafe is legit, and some of the best bagels I have ever had. Steak N Shake is a nice option, and their prices are the same as their other franchise locations. The late night cafe/diner was acceptable. They also have some higher-end restaurants which are not open midweek, and the obligatory buffet and oyster/seafood bar. Overall, a good selection and variety. \n\nIf you are looking for a clean, spacious, affordable room in Vegas, a good spot to gamble, and location is not important, then South Point is a great option.
