When most people think of Las Vegas, they picture the crowded, bustling Strip. But if you want to experience a relaxing vacation—and you don’t care about being right next to the Bellagio fountains—the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa is your best-kept secret.

Located just a few miles south of the main Strip, it is the ultimate off-Strip resort, offering an incredible array of amenities under one roof. Here is why South Point is the perfect destination for families and budget-conscious travelers.

Endless Family Entertainment

You literally never have to leave the building to keep the entire family entertained.

1. A Full 16-Screen Movie Theater: Want to escape the intense Nevada heat? South Point features a massive 16-screen Century movie theater right inside the resort. It is a fantastic place for families to spend quality time together away from the casino floor.
2. The Bowling Center: South Point is famous for its massive, 64-lane bowling center. It is a major hub of activity where both kids and adults can have a great time.
3. Sugarloaf Entertainment Arcade: Conveniently located right next to the bowling center, this arcade is an absolute hit with younger kids, offering plenty of redemption games and prizes. If your family loves arcades, be sure to also check out the massive Round1 Arcade at South Premium Outlets!

Dining for Every Budget

The true magic of South Point lies in its dining options. Whether you want a high-end steak or a budget breakfast, they cover every price point:

The Low Budget: Coronado Cafe Specials

If you are a night owl or an early riser, the Coronado Cafe offers the best late-night deals in the entire city (served Midnight to 6 AM):

• $4.95 Breakfasts: Two Eggs with Bacon/Sausage, Hash Browns & Toast, or a Pancake Sandwich.
• $6.95 Steak & Eggs: A 7oz New York Strip Steak, Two Eggs, Hash Browns & Toast. It is the ultimate old-school Vegas deal!
• $2.95 Shrimp Cocktail: A true “Old Vegas” style classic.

The Mid-Range Value: The Garden Buffet

The Garden Buffet is considered one of the best value buffets in town (it even made our Ultimate Las Vegas Buffet Ranking!), but there is a catch: you need a Player’s Club card.

• Breakfast: $16.95 (with card) / $19.95 (regular)
• Lunch: $22.95 (with card) / $26.95 (regular)
• Seafood Night (Friday): $52.95 (with card) / $57.95 (regular) - Features Prime Rib, Crab, and includes Wine or Draft Beer!

The High-End: Don Vito’s

If you are looking for an upscale Italian dinner, Don Vito’s offers an incredible menu of premium meats and handmade pasta:

• Classic Pasta: Baked Ziti ($29) or House-Made Fettuccine ($25).
• Premium Steaks: Charbroiled Filet Mignon ($49) or a massive Dry-Aged Bone-In Rib-Eye ($67).
• Seafood Excellence: Sea Bass Macadamia ($61) or Lobster with Spinach Fettuccine Alfredo ($39).

The Practical Perks

Finally, South Point gets the logistics right. In an era where almost every major Strip hotel charges exorbitant parking fees, parking at South Point is 100% free—both in the massive garage and the surface lots. It is also incredibly close to Harry Reid International Airport, making it a stress-free home base for your Las Vegas vacation.
