Was in Vegas a few months ago... Our flight was canceled & the airline put us up in a hotel for the night.....it was the Southpoint. I always stay on the strip but after staying here, I would DEFINITELY stay here again. Buffet was great, hotel is nice, lots of food options. They also have a Bingo parlor (I won the $1000 coverall), bowling alley, lots of table games. This is a great place to stay. 10/10.

The pork ribs are my favorite. I very much appreciate that the South Point owners re-opened the buffet as soon as they could during the pandemic. None of the other "local" casinos have re-opened theirs except for the Rampart. South Point deserves a lot of praise. 💖

I haven't been to Vegas since 92. Back then I'm not joking all food was dirt cheap. Most buffets were like $6. We spent more on breakfast at Mcdonalds then we did at nice buffets. We were getting lots of shrimp cocktails that were AWESOME and only 99cents. We got tons of free pop all day long. We stayed at the Imperial Palace on the strip and we walked all the way down to the ends and my feet for so blistered. Nothing but tennis shoes the next 3 days. LOL

I am a local Nevadan from Reno, and we usually go to Vegas every year. We were so upset when the red rock buffet closed down and didn’t know about the announcement until we went to check it out back in September. But we instead went to the south point during brunch hours and it had some good variety, especially the carving station and desserts. We went on a Sunday, so they had a mimosa brunch special. Although I couldn’t drink due to being a minor, my parents did enjoy it and overall a decent local buffet being not too far from the strip.

Primarily Prime Rib is GROSS.. the food quality is pretty lousy. Silverado Steakhouse is MUCH better quality. I've stayed at Southpoint 8 times since 2012 and Know the restaurants well. The Japanese restaurant named Zenshin Asian is pretty good but a little pricey. Big Sur Oyster Bar/Seafood cafe is also good and has good clam chowder and Fish-n-Chips. The Del Mar Deli near the sportsbook is decent for sandwiches.

For people who don't care for catfish (like me), swai is a good fish to try. It's an Asian catfish and much milder. Trader Joe's used to sell a fish curry made with swai, which is how I discovered it. That was delicious. (Indian spicing tames catfish and lamb). I've also had plain grille swai at California Fish Grill. Not bad, a nice change of pace. Worth trying. (You can order half swai and half another fish. Including American catfish.)
