South Point Comps

From the review:
"I charged a total of about $122.
It is par for the course to get back about 1/3 of the expected loss in comps.
my expected loss for 3.8 hours at $150 a hand = $299.25. Covering all $122 in charges amounted to getting 41% back, which is pretty generous."
I guess the operative words from the above snippet would be the pretty generous part. I had previously heard from a variety of sources that South Point was not very generous with comps, though admittedly this was fairly stale information. Its good to hear that things may have changed there.
I tend not to rent cars when I fly to Vegas and I tend to go to more than one casino but things change as I get older and I just may give South Point a try. Oh, I'm not basing this solely on my revised view of their comp policy, but its surely is a factor.

I can't promise that they are generous with everybody, but I left happy. When I used to play video poker there, when it was the South Coast, they were quite generous with the mailers. Overall, I think it was a good place. The big drawback is you have to drive to get anywhere worth going to.

Thanks for the information.
As far as driving anyplace, who cares, love the location, and The M is just down the road!

Yes. I would quite agree. If you are a "local" and already have a car and are familiar with roads, construction delays, shortcuts, etc. then a somewhat remote location for a casino is not much of a problem.
Proximity to the Food, Booze and great atmosphere of The M Resort is an added plus for sure!
I'm glad to be hearing that people are not leaving the SouthPoint as unhappy with their comp policy as I used to hear a good bit of grumbling about it. Things chance or perhaps sources are biased sometimes.
