What the room rate includes and what costs extra
The room rate covers the nightly charge for the room type you booked (Premium 2 Queens Room, Premium Room, or Premium Room, Smoking) but does NOT include the mandatory nightly resort fee, taxes, the refundable incidentals deposit, or pay-as-you-go services such as meals, spa treatments, and some premium activities. Free self-parking and the scheduled airport shuttle are included, while extras like extra adults, rollaway beds, and spa services carry additional fees.

Mandatory resort fee and taxes (what’s extra)
South Point charges a mandatory resort fee that is collected at checkout; this fee is separate from the base room rate. The resort fee covers a defined package of on-property conveniences rather than meals or entertainment.
In addition to the resort fee, applicable local and state taxes are charged on the room and fees. The hotel also requires a refundable incidentals deposit at check-in.
- Mandatory resort fee (collected at checkout) covers in-room Wi‑Fi, fitness center access, scheduled airport shuttle, in-room coffee maker, in-room safe, business center computer access, boarding pass printing, local/toll-free calls, and a casino funbook.
- Refundable incidentals deposit (a $100 hold per stay) is required at check-in.
