text: Staying at South Point this past weekend I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. \n\nI was very skeptical and unsure of what to expect considering it is 15 minutes away from the strip and only $70 a night. I mentally prepared myself for the worst. \n\nDriving into the hotel everything was very self explanatory and it wasn't absolute mayhem like most hotels tend to be in Vegas. We did the free self park (tons of parking spaces available) and walked straight into the hotel. The check in was easy breezy and they even give you a coupon book to use during your stay. \n\nPros: \nRooms are huge \nCheap rates \nBowling alley (open 24 hours) \nArcade (with air hockey) \nCoupon book \nNice pool \nMovie theater \n\nCons: \nNo shows available at the hotel \nCab ride onto the strip is about $18-$26 depending on traffic \nCrowd is not very young or attractive \n\nI guess it depends what your motives are but I think South point is nice in that you get to go out of town and be close to Vegas, without being around all the hustle and bustle that comes with Sin City.
