9777 South Las Vegas Blvd
Las Vegas, NV 89183
Opened: December 1, 2005
South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa (formerly South Coast) is a resort located along Las Vegas Boulevard in Enterprise, Nevada, south of the Las Vegas Strip. It is owned and operated by Michael Gaughan, the founder of Coast Casinos. It includes a 137,232 sq ft (12,749.3 m2) casino and a 25-story hotel with 2,163 rooms.

The resort includes an equestrian facility known as South Point Arena, Equestrian Center and Exhibit Hall. It is also known as South Point Equestrian Complex and Arena, and South Point Arena.

It opened as the South Coast Equestrian Center in February 2006. It served as a signature attraction for the resort, and was the first such facility in the United States to be connected to a hotel. It includes 4,400 seats and 1,600 horse stalls. The equestrian center was devised by Gaughan, a horse lover whose family participated in horse events. The facility was expected to host up to 40 horse events each year, and Gaughan believed that it would attract a higher-end clientele. The idea was initially met with skepticism, but the facility would go on to be successful. The equestrian center became popular for its western events such as rodeo riding, and has also hosted other events such as concerts, boxing matches, college basketball tournaments, and Mecum Auctions. A bronze statue of gambler Benny Binion, riding a horse, was relocated from downtown Las Vegas to the equestrian center in 2008.

South Point Arena was host to the 2010 Las Vegas Holiday Hoops Classic
