Excellent video! Love South Point but the buffet is just too much food. We always go to the Silverado Steak House & Don Vito’s Italian restaurants there.
What’s under rated about South Point Is their breakfast buffet. From good biscuits and gravy to their pork belly at the carving station, is worth its $14.95 (with the players card). 😃👍🏾
At 11:59 is a common problem at Buffets. Stop putting fries on the Buffet line. They never hold up heated. Either offer them fresh if you wait a few minutes or figure another potato option that holds up better. Somehow Tator tots hold up better and hash-browns but fries just go dry/ soggy or like a gum texture when left heated out.
Do you guys realize how close we were to losing all buffets forever? When covid hit they had an excuse to get rid of them. The resorts hate buffets! They lose money and also cost a ton of money. But, buffets are a major reason people come to Vegas and when the first buffet opened back up in Vegas the other resorts couldn’t compete with any replacements and were forced to open theirs back up again just to get their traffic back. South point was actually one of, if not the first casinos to bring it back! Thank you Southpoint! You single hand-idly saved buffets in Vegas!!
I wish this was true for the Stations Casinos ( Red Rock, Durango, Green Valley, etc ). Their buffets are gone and NOT coming back. They've been replaced with restaurants / food courts etc. Only Rampart Casino and Southpoint have "reasonable buffet prices ( for locals ). Thanks .
Hi Ruby! I love South Point. I ate at the buffet earlier this year. Not on seafood night, though. Thanks for the video! Wonderful job as usual. Planned my entire last trip using your recommendations. It all worked out great. Thanks again!
South Point is growing on me after seeing a few videos by vegas channels such as yourself, as a strictly strip and downtown visitor. I went to their late night specials (2 am) once and i ended up getting their burger and fries for like 5 bucks and it was amazing. The way the strip is going i may just make South Point my next visit
I ‘discovered’ SouthPoint a few years ago. I don’t even go to the Strip or even Downtown anymore. With discounted movies, wide selection of reasonably priced restaurants, bowling, friendly welcoming staff, free valet/parking. Mostly non-smoking visitors, SouthPoint is my go to place in Vegas now.
We stayed in Southpoint for the bowling tournament this March, not our first time. We enjoy eating in their different restaurants including their snack places. Fair prices, good food, Chinese menu at Coronado Cafe. Best of all was their midnight breakfast menu for very cheap prices ( burger/ fries for $5 and shrimp cocktail for $4 or $5, can’t remember). Missed seafood night because we were treated to The Sphere by my son in law. Will try next time.
Do you know I hadn't thought much about re-visting Vegas....until I saw Travel Ruby videos! Great content, helpful info on every aspect of Vegas and thank you Mr. Ruby for the best steady cam ever!! Great job guys!!
Next time have them charbroiler your "prime" rib, it'll turn it in to more of a steak taste. It's at the meat station and your rib roast will not leave your sight.
The salmon and crab legs got me! 😋. This buffet and the brunch at Anthony’s at M are a must-go on my next trip to Vegas! Thanks for all of the great content on your Channel. I recommend your Channel to anyone planning a a Vegas trip.
Anthony Brunch for me is #1 for me! Love how people are nice and wait nicely in-line. Exceptional quality. So worth it! ❤ Don’t forget to walk outside to balcony and see the pool 🏊♀️
Southpoint is a really solid resort. The buffet has always been one of the better ones imo, we've eaten there numerous times, and never been disappointed.
With the lack of buffet options now in Vegas, I highly recommend South Point. The line can get CRAZY long. I'd recommend going within the first hour (or early if you can) because of the line.
I love South Point. But after visiting the buffet a few times, I really enjoy the Coronado Cafe next door much more. Too much food at the buffet for me, and I love the menu and the fresh made items (and the pricing) at the restaurant.
Another excellent review Ruby. While you and Mr. Ruby were doing your video, I was busy stuffing my face a table away. THANKS for taking a photo with me! Two thumbs up 👍 👍
One could never go wrong with Southpointe! We've love staying here; the slots, the buffets, the bowling alley upstairs, the bingo, the moviehouse! They also have a transportation for you to go to the strip, for just a nominal fee. Very helpful! Oh, and dont forget the amazing Sushi resto, the Steakhouse, and the Ice Cream Diner. I wonder if they still have that $2 hotdog stand in the corner. They also have a small Deli/ Cafe right by the front entrance. The pool and the spa/ salon.... YES!!! I could go on and on!!! SOUTHPOINTE IS ONE OF VEGAS GEM!
I'm a local and I love South Point buffet. Agree with the fried scallops. That's one of my favorite and I usually dip it in cocktail sauce with squeezed lemon.
Great video on explaining how to get the discounted $46 price. Visitor's should be aware of how busy Fri-Sun visitorship to Las Vegas will be on a particular weekend to determine how long the Southpoint buffet will be. During the summer, December holidays, Superbowl, March Madness; lines can be up to 4 hours long.
I discovered "bangers" thanks to this place. A rare food find I have not been able to find at any stores. Best sausages I ever ate. To be fair, on the downside, I never had a bad spring roll at any Chinese food place until I ate the ones here which are surprisingly not good.
Ruby, my fiancé and I love your videos! We plan on getting married in Vegas in 2025. Is there any way you can do a video on date night spots or nice fine dining restaurants worthy of a wedding celebration?
Thanks for all your tips. We're coming back from central WI in 5wks for another week at Bellagio . This is the same price as Bellagio's buffet which is seriously lacking in quality seafood. We're definitely going to South Point on Friday. Thanks again and we've learned so much from your channel.
I too was sorely disappointed with the Bellagio buffet. The seafood buffet at SouthPoint opens at 3pm but I’d get in line closer to 2pm. The line can get long-g-g.
I keep seeing a lot of these kind of reviews for expensive buffets from different sites. In my view no buffet is worth more than 20 or 30 bucks. Most people simply don't eat that much. A buffet really does not have to have a ridiculous number of dishes to be worthwhile to go to. Most of these buffets for more than $30 can only really be used by wealthy people regularly or those who saved a lot to throw it away on these kinds of wasteful buffets. But here, you're in Vegas and Vegas is all about tempting people and giving them the illusion that what they are dong makes sense.
I remember Chilled Crab Legs that were sawed open in Vegas, there was no waste, and no struggle. The place to be was Michael's Buffet on Friday, this was long ago. Also the Flamingo Buffet was good. Prices were amazing. Too bad things have changed in Buffets.
Won’t eat seafood that far from the ocean. Not really a seafood person anyway. None if this looked good to me. I’m sure it was delightful, but not for me. Thanks Ruby!❤
Hi Ruby, I went in February on the recommendation of your previous video of the same buffet, I thought it was better than The Buffet at Wynn where I also had reservations.
Best time to go to that buffet is around 7:00-7:30 the line is not as long, but if you get there earlier OMG. I’ve seen it as far as Steak And Shake and beyond. Best buffet by far in Vegas.
That was an informative and well balanced review. The variety of adjectives is appreciated. In the background there were quite a few people in western attire. Was there a rodeo going on nearby?
Your vids always cheer me up on a rough day! Thank you for the great content..you're definitely meant to be on camera! Your delivery is super natural. 🤩
As a local, I love South Point! The buffet is amazing, they have lots of low $ slots compared to Green Valley, lots to do as well. From bowling, to the movie theater, Bingo, there's so much to do. Everything is reasonably priced. Considering it's an older casino too, it doesn't nearly smell as bad as you think with the amount of people smoking. Get their player card for buffet discounts!
People line up like at lunch time for this dinner. If you don’t eat seafood it isn’t worth it. Go any other night for the normal carving stations and half the price.
I hate it when the buffet areas aren’t cleaned. Seeing food still lying there from people spilling it over. They need to really keep on this. Clean the area. Always. It’s gross when they don’t. At these prices they should do this.
I hate seafood, but when in New Orleans I had to try the Antoine's Restaurant Oyster Rockefeller. (birthplace of oysters Rockefeller) I did not like it, but I'm glad I tried it! The rest of the food was excellent. Thanks for the video!
I would go there just for the crab legs, snow crab has to be big to cut them like that . Snow crab season in Alaska is closed because they are not reproducing as well in the new warmer water that the change in climate has brought. repeated from a Los Angeles times newspaper report . I agree with giving the fisheries time to recover. I just hope the species can manage the new conditions, they are tasty. I would miss them on a buffet if the future came to that.
Still watching this video, so I can't comment currently, but, went to a buffet in Nottingham UK, OMGosh gorgeous (chinese) and used your expertise, it's not easy but I tried a small bit of everything more than enough!
I know you live in Vegas now, but I would love it if you would do more hotel review videos of the big resorts on the strip you've already stayed at. I'd like to see the different rooms types, and re-reviews could uncover issues you might not have noticed before.
Thank you for your indepth culinary analysis! My Love and I truly appreciate your videos! We figure it's only a matter of time (and ad revenue) before you do a Peter Luger's video, however... any chance for a Ruby's Ramen Run video - going over the best ramen places Vegas has to offer? Our Kiddo needs a REAL ramen experience, not a Nissin-based one!
Not quite worth the money, but people have to understand that after the pandemic so many buffets closed, that the ones that reopened raised their prices, also coinciding with new buffets, like the palms, who came in with high prices, leading to the fact that only a small handful are worth the price you pay, vs, quality.
This might sound like a silly question, but I was wondering is there a time limit? You show all these wonderful buffets in Las Vegas and I didn’t know if there was a time limit of how long you can stay and eat.
I would eat at this buffet! They had so many choices. Your reaction sold me....all freshly prepared. This was done with sincerity and my mouth watered!😊
