The $5.40 breakfast buffet!!!

OK, it's not going to be for long...but South Point's annual 1/2 price if you pay with points promo is coming back Dec. 12-24. Soooo...

Breakfast buffet club card price is $11.95--call it $12 and ignore the tax for the moment. 1,000 points=$3 normally, but during the promo, 1,000 points is worth $6. So, 2,000 points pays for your boofay. What does it take to earn 2,000 points? That's easy--$2,000 coin-in.

The best games (with one minor exception) are the NSUDs found all over the casino. The optimum return on those games is 99.73%, which means you can expect to lose $5.40 while earning your points. So, for this all too brief period, it's back to the good old days.

And of course, you can use your points to cut in half the price of pretty much everything there. Great promo.

Yep. South Point offers this promo every year. Starts right after the NFR is over.

Mostly everything in the gift shop is half points (except tobacco products). Good time to stock up on alcoholic beverages.

Plus it includes your beverage which is an added bonus.

The big scam I see over and over again is coffee and soft drinks now routinely go for $5 at the casino diners.

They have some awesome breakfast special for $5.95.   But if you want to drink something besides water its another $5.
