South Point Casino History
South Point Casino, formerly known as South Coast resort and casino, opened on December 22, 2005.
The opening even had some fireworks that caused a small rooftop fire but that didn’t seem to interfere with the opening of the casino.
Southpoint was the first casino to be able to be seen from the I-15 from people arriving from California.
South Point struggled in the beginning with I-15 construction that was not finished yet and other amenities like the spa and nightclub had not been finished at the time of the opening.
Boyd gaming who originally owned the South Point agreed to sell the struggling property to Michael Gaughan, the founder of Coast Casinos.
Gaughan vowed to improve the property and build another tower and do a year long expansion project during the great depression in 2007.
During that time Gaughan did not lay off a single employee and proceeded with the project.
The South Point is known for its sponsorship of South Point Racing and the South Point 400, an annual stock car race held in Las Vegas.
South Point is also one of the primary hotels that cater to the annual National Finals Rodeo that takes place for 2 weeks every year in December in Las Vegas.
