I would definitely try them. And yes please do a review on their seafood night. Plus even without the discount their prices are great with lots of selections to choose from. Good bang for your buck.
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. 💖
When my former mother-in-law lived in Vegas, her neighbor would pick her up and they'd drive to South Point for the buffet lunch. They went everyday. That was their one meal for the day.
Vegas Buffets off strip Buffets used to be under $10 pre covid. South Point Buffet Lunch Price used to be $9.95 in 2018. I oddly wanted to move to Vegas in 2019 and then covid hit and inflation followed and home prices doubled. I think God was saying a big "NO!"
No. Not an old person's place at all. It's just a very nice casino with a wonderful buffet. So many great choices of food. Great service and atmosphere.
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.
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
Hard to go wrong at South Point. My wife and I have stayed there the last couple of times in Vegas and the buffet is pretty good. Don Vitos is good as well, as is the Silverado. Primarily Prime Rib is next on the list to try. Expectating a grrat experience.
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.
We live here in Las Vegas and come here occasionally. Last year on Thanksgiving, a group of us came here for the buffet and couldn't find the end of the line. It was snaked throughout the entire casino floor. We ended up leaving and ate at home. So glad I had all the fixings.
Looks like a solid value for a buffet. Have heard a lot of good about it. Great that they have some solid Mexican/Latin offerings along with the usual offerings. Some buffets tend to overlook my favorite part of the world. BTW my wife is of Mexican heritage and this is just something we love in addition to all the other offerings at a buffet. Thanks for the video!
South Point has always a best value place. I agree that the buffet is by far the best value you can get. Can't wait to see your seafood night. I have stayed at South Point many times. Always enjoyed it. Thank you for the video.
I love south point for the cheap breakfast specials! Their rewards and points also never expire compared to all other casinos. Do more Reviews of all the the events here!
Great review Ruby- you may not know but this is a Michael Gaughan property , his father Jackie had the El Cortez and many other properties in downtown vegas for many years. They were always focused on quality and value . Not surprised at how well they treated you and your good experience .
I've eaten there a few times. Good selection. Mexican food was decent. Also a nice strawberry shortcake station when I was there. Can't beat the value!
I have ate there about a year or so ago and they had white fish on the buffet for dinner and it was terrific. South point buffet is always a good deal. I just wish they would reopen the Silverton buffet around the corner that was my favorite of all.
Yeah, Red Rock Casino, Silverton, Orleans, Suncoast, Gold Coast all stopped Buffets. but Main St Station , Rampart ( limited times ) and South Point have Buffets now. It was FUN while it lasted at those reasonable prices. Boo Hoo.....
I really like your videos - they are genuine, matter-of-factly but in a very good & engaging way. And informative. That is not a bad combination. Looking forward to more!
And I didn't even reply to your question - I would try the buffet. It has a lot to offer, at a very good price, and from what you've shown, the quality is good. That's not a bad trifecta!
Thank you Ruby! You rock! I have eaten at the South Pointe Buffet and I thought it was pretty good, especially for the price. Actually I would like to stay there one of my trips to Las Vegas.
Hello Ruby, for the origin of *hushpuppies,* one story is that Confederate soldiers were preparing food around a campfire and heard Union soldiers in the vicinity, so they pitched their yelping dogs some fried cornmeal cakes and ordered them to « hush puppies. » Thanks for the review! ❤👍
Next March I'll give it a try. Based solely on your recommendations, I've had some really great times staying in Vegas. Rooms, food, drinks, and entertainment. Ruby takes one for the team and we benefit.
lol staying in vegas is not taking one for the team, although who knows how much editing and stuff she has to do now. but im sure she gets comps on top of regular comps that would make it a bit easier. as well as adverts
the bad thing here in atlantic city also is the resort fees much more then years ago now i saw a cheap room in showboat on a sire and they say no wifi and no refunds although i had wi fi last time and they are chging 1800 rewsort fee muct be wrong trop refuses to open buffet its a cesars property now they claim its a lost in money
I’m 20, back when I was 12 I remember going to south point to eat and of course I loved it as a kid. It is an old people hotel since my grandma and aunts always went
I tried South Points Buffet in 2007 and if I go to Las Vegas again that's the only place I'll eat. They had rainbow trout and boy did I tank up.Everything on that buffet was well worth the price.Really a beautiful buffet
Mexican is my favorite food so I would like to try South Point. Then you brought up the Rueben...my favorite grilled sandwich. I need to try it. We may be coming to Las Vegas to see Jimmy Buffet at MGM Grand Garden Arena in March. May have to try that buffet...Haha! Thanks for the video Ruby. Prime Rib is the king. Yes Hors radish and au jus makes it so much better.
For the last five years or so for Christmas, I’ve roasted a standing rib roast with a homemade horseradish sauce and all the fixings (including homemade mashed potatoes and gravy). Delicious… And wonderful leftovers. What’s not to love…
I fix their kitchen equipment there. In fact I just put that first steamtable in your video in a few days ago. The old one had issues. Welcome to my work Ruby :)
I hope you guys come down to Reno to review and stay in some of the casinos and hotels in the area. They’re are a lot of options that some people overlook and Reno doesn’t always get the attention
Yummy 😋! All the food you ate at the South Point looks really good 👍. Born and raised here in Vegas myself , I hope you’re having an amazing weekend ❤️
I would love you guys to hopefully check out some of the hotels and casinos in Reno and Carson City, or Lake Tahoe, particularly cause it’s during the holiday season and a lot of people come to visit during the snow months and has an awesome vibe with some of our amazing casinos in the area.
So many of the Las Vegas hotels have eliminated their buffets. Southpoint is one of the few breakfast, lunch, dinner buffets left. The hotel is off strip, 3 miles south of Mandalay Bay hotel. Buffet has long lines Fri-Sun, the casino floor that you wait in is very smokey, smells like a giant ashtray.
Episode suggestion: I’m a big sports fanatic, and Vegas is a HUGE sports town, with NHL Hockey, NFL Football, NBA summer league, possibly MLB Baseball. I often plan trips to Vegas built around sporting events. Can you maybe put together some of Vegas’s best spots to catch some sporting action? ie. Beer prices/specials, halftime give aways/prizes, viewing parties. Etc
I eat the South Point buffet about once a month. Only lunch. Thank you for going over the dinner menu. I agree. For the price they are one of the best buffets in town. A few things you didn't know. The station that made the Rueben's changes what they make each day. I walk around the whole buffet before getting the Mongolian grille. Usually there are other veggies at the salad or other areas worth putting in the stir fry. I asked a few months ago. They do NOT make most of their desserts [pies, cheesecake, brownies, cakes etc.]. They are almost all shipped in. You will also never see chocolate chip cookies at the dessert section for some weird unknown reason. I have not seen them there for over a decade.
It’s called the Tollhouse Curse. Before she passed, they served Mrs. Tollhouse a fish with a bone in it, and she cursed them that if they ever served one of ‘her’ cookies (she invented chocolate chip cookies in 39), the owner would die within the week! Well, who wants to even mess with a curse like that.
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.)
before I watched the video I ate dinner. I knew if I didn't your video would make me hungry. Las Vegas is totally worth the trip for the food experiences. I would be stuffed all the time. How you manage to keep your figure is beyond me. Sorcery!
I love that buffet. But I can never eat the amounts that make the all you can eat proposition worth it. The Coronado Cafe two restaurants over has amazing prices for really great quality food.
I've eaten here a bunch of times and it was always good. And the mystery regarding the chicken Parmesan….I cannot confirm but it's quite possible that they brine all their chicken beforehand….Which might give you that pickle taste. I love it.
Geez, South Point is such a good casino / hotel with everything there ( especially Bowling and Movies ) ! We need to try the BUFFET soon. Too bad we are in Summerlin and it's a 25 minute drive.
I had the SP lunch buffet last week and it was terrible. And I mean everything. Carving station brisket, turkey, and ribs were dry and tough. Most things were not at proper serving temp The only tasty item I found was the garlic toast. That's pretty sad.
In 09 while in Vegas I whent skydiving the instructors told me best price and working man not fancy Buffett was at south point I think it was because it was close to there work
You should show all the station items whether you choose them or not. Watch some others like All You Can Vegas or Explore Vegas to see how they do it. Thank you for your opinions on food and tips abt prices. GOOD VIDEO. 👍
I've tried most of the moderately priced buffets in Vegas, Excalibur, Luxor, Grand, & SP. #1 The Grand for it's selection and price ($36.99 I think, we do the MyVegas bogo for MGM) #2 SP for taste and price (we do the bottomless mimosa brunch), we didn't care for Excalibur or Luxor. We're going to try Palms, Ellis Island, MLife & The Wynn based off of your reviews. Really appreciate your candor!
Love your videos. Could you do a video on one of the restaurants at The M? Or the buffet if there is one there. Mr Ruby is lucky to get to eat at all those places with you.
Used to drive through Vegas all the time en route to socal. If I stopped at all, it was at South Point. Easy on-off freeway access, didn't have to worry about strip traffic. Place was always clean, buffet was good value with wide variety. So, what's changed as of May 2023? How much is the lunch weekday buffet? Dinner? What's the resort fee there? Parking fee? Any other new fees? Anyone?
I completely respect Mr. Ruby choosing to stay off camera, but I think these buffet-style videos would be so fun if you guys tag-teamed them and each tried different foods, and perhaps even some of the same to share varying opinions. This might also be a fun collaboration video with another Vegas Vlogger! I would love to see full menus tried, but I understand that is quite the feat.
I agree that the video is great as it! That’s why I keep coming back 😅 but I will admit there were several dishes they walked past on the buffet that I was interested in and would like to see a review on.
The SouthPoint does a lot of horse shows, rodeos etc. It has indoor arenas, two of them in fact. I am local, I visit often. About the food. It may be cheap, but it is not the best in flavor. Still very good deal if you know how to pick. The steak house is real good. One draw back. It is about five or six miles from center strip. You can get there by city bus. Lots of free, repeat free, parking.
When I go to a buffet, I go first to the seafood. I eat as many crab as I can. I'll actually do two plates of crabs with tons of lemon and drawn butter. Then, I'll move to the carving station and go for the Prime Rib. If there's other meat that looks interesting at the carving station, I'll give it a try. Some mashed potatoes for that starch. I never touch the Italian. I never touch anything Asian (because I'm Asian and I know I will be disappointed). I can't resist the pretty desserts at places like the Wynn. But they always disappoint. I used to really enjoy the buffets when they served King Crab but those days are long gone.
I've been saying the same thing. For the price, it's the best value now since the station casinos aren't bringing theirs back. The prime rib is my favorite by the way!
Your right I did not know that thanks.the first recorded use of the word "hush-puppy" dates to 1899.[4] The name has no verified origin. Etymology is attributed to a variety of sources. One claims, with little verification, that it came from hunters, fishermen, or other cooks who would fry some basic cornmeal mixture (possibly that they had been bread-coating or battering their own food with) and feed it to their dogs to "hush the puppies" during cook-outs or fish-fries
I'd prolly have me some disposable gloves when handling those serving tongs. Some people, don't know where there hands have been and they don't wash up.
If you do Friday seafood night, just remember to go super early, last time I got there at 3:45pm (it opens at 4pm), I have to stand in line til almost 5:45pm to get seated
I’m dying to get down there for a week at South Point - Your info is Super Great and Helpful to hear right now! How many HOURS were you SAMPLING there at the Buffet that day ? Seemed you went in while the Sun was up and then it got Dark out side LOL🎉. I was a day late to enter the Million Dollar Bingo Extravaganza for October. It’s coming again March 2023 so I think I’ll register this week end - but I need a Week preliminary RIGHT Now !!
Thoughts on South Point's Dinner Buffet?
Would you eat here?
Hey ruby I'm planning a bucket list trip to Vegas soon have you done Gordon Ramsey restaurant also do you know of a Maine lobster buffet
I would definitely try them. And yes please do a review on their seafood night. Plus even without the discount their prices are great with lots of selections to choose from. Good bang for your buck.
Thank you, we are going to Vegas this Month and are looking for a good cheap buffet to eat Thanksgiving at
Ate there many times. Use the Las Vegas advisor coupon to take even more off the price
@@mdaje Thanks for the tip!

Hi Ruby, great job as always! Yes please do a Friday seafood review at South Point! Maybe even a bonus stay at the hotel.
I second that
Agree would like to see seafood buffet
Yesss!! Love seafood!! 🤤
I always do the breakfast buffet every time I stay there.
We love Ruby, she is a good eater and never met a buffet she hated.
Scam
I like that you go for cheaper buffet ,,not everybody can afford a 80$ buffet , especially when traveling on a tight budget ,thank you
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 love the way you describe the food when eating - almost feel like I can taste it.
Looks like a solid value for a buffet. Have heard a lot of good about it. Great that they have some solid Mexican/Latin offerings along with the usual offerings. Some buffets tend to overlook my favorite part of the world. BTW my wife is of Mexican heritage and this is just something we love in addition to all the other offerings at a buffet. Thanks for the video!
I will wager there is NOTHING on that buffet that could be considered REAL "MExican" food. Tacos, burrito, enchiladas, etc dont count. LOL
South Point has always a best value place. I agree that the buffet is by far the best value you can get. Can't wait to see your seafood night. I have stayed at South Point many times. Always enjoyed it. Thank you for the video.

There is no reward it's a scam
Yes, please try the seafood night. Love South Point buffet!
Great review Ruby- you may not know but this is a Michael Gaughan property , his father Jackie had the El Cortez and many other properties in downtown vegas for many years. They were always focused on quality and value . Not surprised at how well they treated you and your good experience .
I've eaten there a few times. Good selection. Mexican food was decent. Also a nice strawberry shortcake station when I was there. Can't beat the value!
I have ate there about a year or so ago and they had white fish on the buffet for dinner and it was terrific. South point buffet is always a good deal. I just wish they would reopen the Silverton buffet around the corner that was my favorite of all.
Yeah, Red Rock Casino, Silverton, Orleans, Suncoast, Gold Coast all stopped Buffets. but Main St Station , Rampart ( limited times ) and South Point have Buffets now. It was FUN while it lasted at those reasonable prices. Boo Hoo.....
I always crack-up when you do your little dances in the elevators with you and Mr. Ruby are in. I feel it was a signature move of your channel.
I really like your videos - they are genuine, matter-of-factly but in a very good & engaging way. And informative. That is not a bad combination. Looking forward to more!
And I didn't even reply to your question - I would try the buffet. It has a lot to offer, at a very good price, and from what you've shown, the quality is good. That's not a bad trifecta!
Spimoni cake is an awesome idea! I love the ice cream so I think I would like that. Nice food reviews on all and would love to try!
I didn't care for it. We call it cough syrup cake lol. But that chocolate cake was spot on.
Thank you Ruby! You rock! I have eaten at the South Pointe Buffet and I thought it was pretty good, especially for the price. Actually I would like to stay there one of my trips to Las Vegas.
Hello Ruby, for the origin of *hushpuppies,* one story is that Confederate soldiers were preparing food around a campfire and heard Union soldiers in the vicinity, so they pitched their yelping dogs some fried cornmeal cakes and ordered them to « hush puppies. » Thanks for the review! ❤👍
Heard it was slaves that threw them to the (catcher) dogs to keep them from barking and giving their position away, thus the hush puppy.
But who eats dinner at 4 in Vegas? Grannies? Usually I'm just getting up around then...🌜 looking for a cup of Joe!! 🤣☕
Next March I'll give it a try. Based solely on your recommendations, I've had some really great times staying in Vegas. Rooms, food, drinks, and entertainment. Ruby takes one for the team and we benefit.
lol staying in vegas is not taking one for the team, although who knows how much editing and stuff she has to do now. but im sure she gets comps on top of regular comps that would make it a bit easier. as well as adverts

Great review, Ruby. I'm with Mr. Ruby on the Reuben. Hope you're both enjoying living in LV!
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR HONEST OPINION. THE FOOD REALLY LOOKS GOOD. KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK 👏🏽👏🏽
I’m 20, back when I was 12 I remember going to south point to eat and of course I loved it as a kid. It is an old people hotel since my grandma and aunts always went
Stayed there. Loved it. Good food and service. Table games were fun as well. Reminds me of old style Vegas - you will enjoy it.
The hardest part of watching your videos for me is because I go through major vegas withdrawals 😂 thank you for another amazing video! ❤
I tried South Points Buffet in 2007 and if I go to Las Vegas again that's the only place I'll eat. They had rainbow trout and boy did I tank up.Everything on that buffet was well worth the price.Really a beautiful buffet

I was just in Vegas last month for the NASCAR race. South Point is on point. Great tip getting in a few minutes before they up for the dinner prices.
I hope you guys come down to Reno to review and stay in some of the casinos and hotels in the area. They’re are a lot of options that some people overlook and Reno doesn’t always get the attention
Definitely need the seafood buffet review, must know if it would be worth going to on my next trip.
"I'm not mad at it", would make a good drinking game
Yummy 😋! All the food you ate at the South Point looks really good 👍. Born and raised here in Vegas myself , I hope you’re having an amazing weekend ❤️
Ruby, truly impressed! You are so descriptive and honest. Looking forward to my next Vegas visit. And you keep a nice figure to boot!
I would love you guys to hopefully check out some of the hotels and casinos in Reno and Carson City, or Lake Tahoe, particularly cause it’s during the holiday season and a lot of people come to visit during the snow months and has an awesome vibe with some of our amazing casinos in the area.
Thanks for this - I was wondering if buffets were even around after the past couple of years. Thanks for the review.
So many of the Las Vegas hotels have eliminated their buffets. Southpoint is one of the few breakfast, lunch, dinner buffets left. The hotel is off strip, 3 miles south of Mandalay Bay hotel. Buffet has long lines Fri-Sun, the casino floor that you wait in is very smokey, smells like a giant ashtray.
Great tips on the buffet! Gives you a different perspective when you fix many of the dishes at home.

Can you maybe put together some of Vegas’s best spots to catch some sporting action? ie. Beer prices/specials, halftime give aways/prizes, viewing parties. Etc
Yes. A whole serious on Vegas buffet "Seafood" day/nights would be fun. And then the same for Brunch.
I eat the South Point buffet about once a month. Only lunch. Thank you for going over the dinner menu. I agree. For the price they are one of the best buffets in town.
A few things you didn't know.
The station that made the Rueben's changes what they make each day.
I walk around the whole buffet before getting the Mongolian grille. Usually there are other veggies at the salad or other areas worth putting in the stir fry.
I asked a few months ago. They do NOT make most of their desserts [pies, cheesecake, brownies, cakes etc.]. They are almost all shipped in. You will also never see chocolate chip cookies at the dessert section for some weird unknown reason. I have not seen them there for over a decade.

I agree . We spend winter in Vegas and we go a couple times a week. Can’t beat the 13.99 price point😀

Yes would love to see the Friday Seafood buffet
South Point is the best deal in town. Always good quality, great price. Would love to see the seafood night as well.
Geez, South Point is such a good casino / hotel with everything there ( especially Bowling and Movies ) ! We need to try the BUFFET soon. Too bad we are in Summerlin and it's a 25 minute drive.
Would love to see you review their "Seafood Night" 😋😋.
Buffet looks good for the price but I worry about the food freshness at any buffet. Fish would be a hard no. Chicken Parm tasted like pickles???
I had the SP lunch buffet last week and it was terrible. And I mean everything. Carving station brisket, turkey, and ribs were dry and tough. Most things were not at proper serving temp The only tasty item I found was the garlic toast. That's pretty sad.
I bumped into you ans Mr ruby omw to work, it was nice seeing you can't wait till you come to Virgin hotel would love to play
In 09 while in Vegas I whent skydiving the instructors told me best price and working man not fancy Buffett was at south point I think it was because it was close to there work
We love it here... consistent over the last 9 yrs!!
You should show all the station items whether you choose them or not. Watch some others like All You Can Vegas or Explore Vegas to see how they do it. Thank you for your opinions on food and tips abt prices. GOOD VIDEO. 👍
I’ve stayed there a couple of times. Nice place. Great food!! Yes, it’s not on the strip. That’s some of the appeal.
I like your buffet videos.
You always seem to find nice things to say even on so so items. Very positive
Another great review. I definitely have to check this buffet out on my next Vegas trip.
Do all the buffets and restaurants! These reviews are my favorite 🎉
I've tried most of the moderately priced buffets in Vegas, Excalibur, Luxor, Grand, & SP. #1 The Grand for it's selection and price ($36.99 I think, we do the MyVegas bogo for MGM) #2 SP for taste and price (we do the bottomless mimosa brunch), we didn't care for Excalibur or Luxor. We're going to try Palms, Ellis Island, MLife & The Wynn based off of your reviews. Really appreciate your candor!
What GREAT service! Letting you in just before 4pm at LUNCH price? WOW....Sure hope that doesnt change!
Love your videos. Could you do a video on one of the restaurants at The M? Or the buffet if there is one there. Mr Ruby is lucky to get to eat at all those places with you.
These videos always make me so hungry! Lol
Used to drive through Vegas all the time en route to socal. If I stopped at all, it was at South Point. Easy on-off freeway access, didn't have to worry about strip traffic. Place was always clean, buffet was good value with wide variety. So, what's changed as of May 2023?
How much is the lunch weekday buffet? Dinner? What's the resort fee there? Parking fee? Any other new fees? Anyone?
I completely respect Mr. Ruby choosing to stay off camera, but I think these buffet-style videos would be so fun if you guys tag-teamed them and each tried different foods, and perhaps even some of the same to share varying opinions. This might also be a fun collaboration video with another Vegas Vlogger! I would love to see full menus tried, but I understand that is quite the feat.
Ruby is doing an amazing job as is. The video was 20 minutes. How long do you want a buffet review to be?
no that would be some super annoying couples dumb shit. so glad he knows his lane
I agree that the video is great as it! That’s why I keep coming back 😅 but I will admit there were several dishes they walked past on the buffet that I was interested in and would like to see a review on.
Seafood night is fantastic! Warning ⚠️ the lines can be extra long be prepared to wait but it's worth the wait!
I LOVE your buffet and food reviews! I live in Vegas...but like to see what you think of places I have yet to try!
I’m a local, and I live near South Point as well. They’re buffet has definitely became good the last couple of years.
Looks really good and affordable! Would love to see the seafood buffet!
Good video. When does Mr Ruby get to eat ? Has he ever disagreed with anything you ate that you liked ?
Great video. You can somewhat diminish inked, but not the cause.
I loved this buffet and the casino and hotel looked very nice. We stopped on our way out of Vegas and regretted not considering staying there
Thanks for the entertaining and informative vids! Yes, PLEASE do the Seafood Buffet! Thx 😊
The SouthPoint does a lot of horse shows, rodeos etc. It has indoor arenas, two of them in fact. I am local, I visit often. About the food. It may be cheap, but it is not the best in flavor. Still very good deal if you know how to pick. The steak house is real good. One draw back. It is about five or six miles from center strip. You can get there by city bus. Lots of free, repeat free, parking.
Yes, do the seafood night as well. I'm a huge seafood fan. Thanks!
South Point looks like a really nice place to stay,but the location is so far(south),of Mandalay.🧑🌾🧡🤷♀️
When I go to a buffet, I go first to the seafood. I eat as many crab as I can. I'll actually do two plates of crabs with tons of lemon and drawn butter. Then, I'll move to the carving station and go for the Prime Rib. If there's other meat that looks interesting at the carving station, I'll give it a try. Some mashed potatoes for that starch. I never touch the Italian. I never touch anything Asian (because I'm Asian and I know I will be disappointed). I can't resist the pretty desserts at places like the Wynn. But they always disappoint. I used to really enjoy the buffets when they served King Crab but those days are long gone.
I've been saying the same thing. For the price, it's the best value now since the station casinos aren't bringing theirs back. The prime rib is my favorite by the way!
Your right I did not know that thanks.the first recorded use of the word "hush-puppy" dates to 1899.[4] The name has no verified origin. Etymology is attributed to a variety of sources. One claims, with little verification, that it came from hunters, fishermen, or other cooks who would fry some basic cornmeal mixture (possibly that they had been bread-coating or battering their own food with) and feed it to their dogs to "hush the puppies" during cook-outs or fish-fries
I almost always head to Southpoint for a brunch every time I'm in Vegas. They have a lot of good video poker games there too.
I'd prolly have me some disposable gloves when handling those serving tongs. Some people, don't know where there hands have been and they don't wash up.
Would love to see the seafood night! Thanks! Great review!
My late inlaws lived near South Point so we did their buffet often when we visited from Wisconsin.
U guys make
ALL
reviews entertaining👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼
I love your channel. I got a bit distracted counting how many times you weren’t mad at something. I like that you try so many things.
You should've added the meat juice on the prime rib. Or maybe some gravy. Great video.
Really miss 30 days of Slots hope it makes a comeback.
If you do Friday seafood night, just remember to go super early, last time I got there at 3:45pm (it opens at 4pm), I have to stand in line til almost 5:45pm to get seated
My best friend lives walking distance from South Point so every time I’m in Vegas it’s a must!
Thank you Ruby....taking notes for my March trip
I’m dying to get down there for a week at South Point - Your info is Super Great and Helpful to hear right now!
How many HOURS were you SAMPLING there at the Buffet that day ? Seemed you went in while the Sun was up and then it got Dark out side LOL🎉. I was a day late to enter the Million Dollar Bingo Extravaganza for October. It’s coming again March 2023 so I think I’ll register this week end - but I need a Week preliminary RIGHT Now !!
Thanks, that's a good stop for our upcoming trip...... Made me hungry!!!! ❤️
If I have to drive all the way out here just to save money on a buffet, I might as well just play the slots while I'm out here.
