This review is for hotel only.

We've stayed here a half-dozen times in the past, but never again.

The good: Large rooms, large bathrooms, good a/c, good water pressure.

the bad: Some little things that in the past we overlooked:
noisy rooms - the door closing mechanism slams the doors -so you hear it all night long.
terrible in-room coffee
mattress not much softer than granite...marble maybe?
the restaurants at the casino offer poor quality food and poor service

Why we won;t come back? First, when you check in now you have to scroll thru screen after screen of legal releases, waivers, and addendums. Uh oh. Next, they started the $14 a night resort fee. This is for the pool, wi-fi, and a "fun book" (examples include a discount on a cup of coffee at the casino). Unfortunately, if you need wi-fi to work, don't stay here. In the past, the wi-fi reception in the rooms was marginal. Now, with the resort fee we expected them to be improved. Nope.

We got to our room, and the wi-fi was 1 bar. I ran a speed test 5 times. 3 times it timed out and twice it gave dial-up speeds. Then it pooped out - never to come back during our stay. We called Southpoint tech support and spoke with "Krysta" (sp?). She was a dedicated employee who did not seem to know much about tech, and could care less about my call. I asked her to have a manager call us. Never happened.

To us, Southpoint has jumped the shark. The cheap rates were enough to put up with the negatives, but now with the higher rates and worse service/amenities we will now go elsewhere.

***I am not a big fan of buffets, but the breakfast buffet at the Bellagio features a wide variety of pretty good food that is satisfying; it is also a good value (if you come really hungry)***

I've never had the lunch or the dinner buffet at the Bellagio, but I usually go to the Bellagio for the breakfast buffet on most trips to Vegas. There are occasional waits, but it is usually pretty quick to get seated.

The variety is quite impressive. And the food is a little better than your average buffet. Plus, there are duplicate meat/egg stations to make getting through the buffet quite easy even when there is a crowd.

The booths are very comfortable. And it is far enough away from the noises of the casino that eating breakfast here is a welcomed change-of-pace.

One thing I hate is being lied to...and Some Pirate at TI definitely lied to me and tricked me with their hidden fees on a "great deal"

Supposedly the room was going to be $99 per night so plus tax fess etc it came out to about $130 per night ok ok still cool...when we get there and have to check-in little hidden fee of $22.50 resort fee per day ummm so now we are paying for a Pirate show that we can give two fucks about and it turns out the damn hotel is averaging at $150 per night! Ahhhhh hell no if I knew I'd be paying that much for this joint I would've much rather stayed at a hotel where I REALLY wanted to stay and not have stayed there just to get a fake "deal" Fuck em!

Beside that minor detail...ummm let's see they had a Pho restaurant the pho sucked nothing impressive...they had a 24 hour restaurant...pricey as hell and the food wasn't even impressive for the price.

The pool was nice...kind of small, dj set-up I didn't think they had enough lawn chairs to lay out but now I'm just trashing them for tricking them. But hey if you ever think you're getting a "deal" from these people be careful because some pirate might be behind all this and it might be a scam #justsaying
