I'm staying at South Point for a couple of days; my first stay here, although I've played here a couple of times.

I haven't noticed the tobacco smoke before but it is very noticable today. Hope they get the fans fixed before the convention.

This is one of the few places in LV tha have video poker with the QuickQuads feature. It's a blast to play, but read up on the strategy first. It's a multi line game (3,5,or 10) and you have to play 6 coins per hand instead of 5 to get the feature. Payoffs are about the same as when you play 5 coins except... two cards whose face value add up to that of those in a three of a kind give you a 4 of a kind! It adds many more quad payoffs to the game, and if you play one of the bonus games, the quads have high payoffs for quad A,2,3,and 4.. Very volatile game, but lots of surprises! Denominations are 25c to $1.

If you enjoy high-end restaurants, don't miss Michaels! Expensive, but very classy. There are budget restaurants as well.

Cab fare from the airport was $24!
