"Good Value"
I played at the (then) South Coast the week it opened, and stayed there in August and again in November (as the South Point) and played there again a few weeks ago. I find the building to be very attractive, fresh and clean. The rooms are spacious, with comfortable beds, plasma TV's, and nice bathrooms. I agree that casino has a "a vast expanse of openness" and the poker "room" is a bit of a joke. But, as I'm a BJ guy - blackjack, get your minds out of the gutter I have found the dealers, and the clientele there to be very friendly.To me, this is the main reason that I'll play at a particular casino. Miserable dealers and I'm outa there!
The restaurants are large, open spaces, but the food is good. The Coronado Cafe is surprising good, and I find the buffet pretty decent.
I have to assume that the South Point didn't quite turn out exactly as Michael Gaughan would have wanted. Now that it's all his, I assume it will keep getting better.
With better highway access I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
