The South Point is located on Las Vegas Blvd., about five miles south of the Mandalay Bay. However, don't let that fact scare you away the South Point and El Cortez are as different as night and day.īesides housing a large casino and hotel, the South Point offers bingo, a 60-lane bowling alley, a 16-screen movie theatre, and a large equestrian arena/events center. Shortly after that opening, in October 2006, South Point was acquired by the Gaughn family, owners of the El Cortez. When it opened, it had a striking resemblance to its sister property at the time, the Suncoast. It opened in December 2005 and was known at first as the South Coast. The South Point is a large casino in the south part of Las Vegas that caters to economy-minded visitors and neighborhood locals.
