And this about the South Point from the Vegas for low rollers LA Times article:
South Point Hotel Casino
Location: 9777 Las Vegas Blvd. S.It isn't often you can brag about staying in a bargain-rate hotel room that features a 42-inch plasma screen TV. Mine had not one, but two.
South Point (until just recently, it was called South Coast), advertises itself as "the gateway" to Las Vegas, but it is actually a 20-minute drive south of the Strip. It's too far from the action, and it's a $25 cab ride to get there.
But it's a great deal. It has an 80,000-square-foot casino with a 25-story hotel tower; rooms are big and plush; food is cheap; and the amenities are those usually found in pricier hotel rooms.
To top it off, when I checked in on a busy Friday night, all the standard rooms -- I had booked mine anonymously two months in advance -- were full, and I was upgraded to a suite, with a sitting room and two plasma TVs. The rooms were a sunny yellow and gold, the king bed was triple sheeted and a coffee maker offered a free java jolt.
The next morning, I checked out a few standard rooms: All had 42-inch plasma TVs (one, not two), plush bedding and free wireless Internet.
Price paid: $162.41, including tax. (January rate range: $75.21-$381.50 Sunday-Thursday; $118.81-$350 Saturday-Sunday).
Parking: Free.
Amenities: Casino, room service, six restaurants, business center, fitness center and spa, child-care facility.
Pros: Inexpensive and well-maintained. Large casino on site features inexpensive food. (A 16-ounce T-bone or 10-ounce prime rib dinner is $9.95.)
Cons: Five miles from the Strip, but a free shuttle runs from hotel to airport and Strip (it stops at Mandalay Bay), 6 a.m.-12:30 a.m. daily.
