text: This hotel may not be convenient for visiting the strip, but maybe that can be a good thing. Sometimes, (at least for me) you don't want the hustle, bustle and glitz of the strip. Maybe you just want to relax, eat, drink and gamble. My stay at the South Point was very low key and I loved every minute of it. \n\nCheck in was swift and easy. There were no surprise charges, everything was explained to me beforehand (telephone reservation) and staff was very friendly.\n\nI was very impressed with the cleanliness of this hotel and casino. All throughout, the hotel looked tidy and newish. That made me feel at ease because I'm somewhat of a germaphobe, but at the South Point I didn't feel on edge in that respect. \n\nUnfortunately, the BF is a smoker and nagged me into booking a \"smoking room\". Usually I hate this in Vegas because a \"smoking room\" usually means the rooms smell bad, really bad--a stench that just never goes away. At the South Point, the \"smoking room\" we stayed in didn't wreak of smoke and it actually had a nice view-- we could see the strip in the distance. Not too shabby. I appreciate that. \n\nI didn't take advantage of the amenities this time (spa, gym, pool), but I plan to return and take advantage. \n\nAs long as you don't mind being ten minutes from the strip and are not expecting an uber swanky place to stay, the South Point proves a great choice for accommodations.
