This page from my master list of all Las Vegas articles I wrote while developing Vanabode as the best travel vehicle for cheap easy long term road trips.

Southpoint Casino Hotel Las Vegas

Southpoint Casino Hotel Las Vegas has everything you need to make your next vacation a romantic getaway or family fun. There's so much to do and see here, you won't want to leave. This casino gives the other casinos on the Strip a run for their money as they wow clients. Insider Secret - Seniors pay less on Mondays and Thursdays at the Southpoint Cinema 16 movie theaters.

Southpoint is located on Las Vegas Boulevard, about 6 miles south of the Tropicana. They offer free shuttle to and from McCarran International Airport and Mandalay Bay on the Strip. Plenty of free parking is available which is great for Vanabode camping this cool city. Valet parking is free sometimes.

South Point Casino in Las Vegas has a beautiful equestrian facility just beyond the slot machines and table games. Here we have seen some of the best horse performance and rodeos ever, and many of them were free, perfect for Vanabode budgets.

They have about a dozen different places to dine in. Award-winning Michael's, considered by many to be one of the best restaurants in Vegas, has a 50-seat gourmet room with the finest filet mignon, lamb chops, filet of wild salmon or veal piccata. Reservations can be filled months in advance for Michael's. Don Vito's Italian has homemade gnocchi and ravioli. When you feel like margaritas, chips and salsa, head to Baja Miguel's on the first floor. We've had a few great meals here though not super cheap. Primarily Prime Rib has dry aged prime rib cuts cooked to your specifications. Yummy.

Coronado Café is open 24 hours and has great eggs benedict and pancakes, as well as an extensive Chinese menu and late night, porterhouse specials. Watch as your favorite oysters, mussels, lobster, shrimp and clams are being prepared at the Big Sur Oyster Bar.

The Garden Buffet is very reasonably priced with 6 live cooking stations. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays have all you can eat specialties.
