Map of South Point Hotel Casino and Spa
The Steakburger is coming to Las Vegas.
On Dec. 17, the Steak ‘n Shake franchise will cut the red ribbon for its first restaurant in Nevada at the South Point Hotel and Casino. Doors open at 11 a.m.
The chain, founded in Illinois more than 75 years ago, has largely made its name in the Midwest and South.
Less than a week later, South Point will celebrate its fifth anniversary on Dec. 22. Free cake and champagne will be available from noon to 10 p.m., and live music will be played in the Grandview Lounge throughout the day. Slot and video poker players can also earn bonus points and payouts.
For more information, visit the hotel's website.
Located South of the Strip, South Point is a hot spot frequented by locals. The hotel-casino is decorated in a Pacific Coast feel, with golds, reds and browns, mixing an island feel with the ambiance of Southern California.
Guests rooms feature 42-inch flat screen TVs, iPod docking stations and plush linens. Outside, the property features landscaped gardens, a hospitality to entertain poolside and a sand volleyball court.
When it comes to gaming, the South Point has more than 120,000 square feet of casino games, as well as a separate race books and sports books, a bingo and poker room. South Point also has some family friendly features, like a 64-lane bowling center, an arcade and a 16-screen movie theater.
Dining options range from an upscale meal at Michael's Gourmet to ice cream at Kate's Korner. The 24-hour Coronado Cafe is the perfect spot for a late-night craving, which include six midnight to 6 a.m. "graveyard" specials. Other restaurants include the Big Sur Oyster Bar, Don Vito's, Garden Buffet, Seattle's Best Coffee House and the Del Mar Deli.
One of South Points more unique features is the Equestrian Center and Arena, a first for Vegas. The Equestrian Center holds a variety of events, from college basketball to Championship Bull Riding.
