Fodor's Expert Review South Point Hotel Casino & Spa

Perk or quirk—the South Point houses an equestrian center, a venue that frequently hosts rodeos and other horse-oriented shows. Elsewhere on-site are a 64-lane bowling alley, a 16-screen movie theater, a barbershop, and one of the biggest bingo halls in town. Hotel rooms are modern and welcoming, with flat-screen televisions, couches, and spacious desks. The palm-lined pool area is inviting, too, provided you don't mind low-flying airplanes taking off from nearby Harry Reid International Airport. The sports book packs in big crowds on game days, with more than 300 seats. Visitors also would be wise to capitalize on locals-oriented jackpots and promotions inside the modest poker room (just be sure to sign up for a players card).
