There is decent VP and lots of table games with reasonable mins.
The king rooms have a sitting alcove like the Orleans and Suncoast. Unfortunately the queen rooms don't. Bathrooms are not tiny.
Restaurant lineup is great. The Silverado Steakhouse is nice and will not disappoint. Primarily Prime Rib gives you a good slab at decent price. The Italian place is also good. Haven't eaten at the Mexican joint, but my local buddy says they like it. The sandwich place isn't cheap, but the portions are large. Last, but not least is Michaels. For years it was the "splurge" place in town at the Barbary Coast whenit's namesake Michael Gaughn ran the Coast casinos. Now that he owns the SP, it has relocated there. For a 40th anniversary, you might consider it as a surprise. I'm sure they a dress code, so you might investigate if interested.
As to the city view upgrade, personally, I'd go for a high pool view which will include the Spring Mtains view. SP is about 5-6 miles south of Mandalay Bay, so the effect is minimal in my opinion. All a matter of taste though.
One way or the other I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay.
Good Luck!

I ate at a seafood bar at Southpoint last year. I had a great meal.
