South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa

South Point opened December 2005 as South Coast — built by Boyd Gaming under the Coast Casinos branding it had just acquired (Michael Gaughan had sold Coast in 2004 but stayed on at Boyd). In October 2006, Gaughan separated from Boyd and took over operations; he renamed the property South Point in 2008 and acquired full ownership. The 60-acre property includes 1,200 climate-controlled equestrian stalls and 240,000 sq ft of event space — the largest single-property independent locals casino in Las Vegas.
