South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa, Entertainment complex in Las Vegas, United States.
South Point Hotel is an entertainment complex featuring a 25-floor tower with over 2,000 guest rooms, gaming facilities, and multiple restaurants in one location. The property offers a full range of services designed to accommodate different types of visitors.
Coast Casinos bought the 50-acre site in 2001 and announced the South Coast in April 2003; construction began in April 2004. The resort opened on December 22, 2005, at a cost of $625 million. After early losses, Michael Gaughan bought it from Boyd Gaming in October 2006 and renamed it South Point, choosing the name because few letters on the signage had to change.
The name South Point was chosen by Michael Gaughan because few letters on the existing South Coast signage had to be changed. The resort is known for televised poker, including Poker After Dark and seasons three and four of High Stakes Poker. Its 400-seat showroom has hosted Clint Black, Jerry Lewis and Rob Schneider.
The resort sits at the southwest corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Silverado Ranch Boulevard, with Interstate 15 along its western edge, several miles south of the Strip. Motorists arriving from southern California on I-15 reach it before any other Las Vegas resort. The hotel's three 245-foot towers form a T shape when seen from above, which helps with orientation.
The property includes an equestrian center hosting national competitions with specialized facilities for horse sporting events. This feature sets it apart from other hotels in the area.
