My wife signed up for their players club and they gave her $25 of slot play which she turned into $35 cash in her pocket which almost paid for the buffet for all three of us. As others have mentioned, use the coupon book that they give you upon checking-in. And the line moved fast so I couldn't complain.
The line for check-in was a little long, but a manager came out with a case of cold water bottles that he handed out to everyone in line. That wasn't a major show stopper though as South Point has everything that you need for a great stay even if you don't leave the hotel. According to mapquest, it's nearly 6 miles to the next major casino going north (Mandalay Bay). but it's not close to any other major casino.
