Detailed Reviews
My girlfriend and I stayed here for our first visit ever to Las Vegas and we had a great time! The Mystic Falls Park inside the casino was a beautiful and cool experience. Our room was clean and spacious and the staff was very friendly. The only caveats I can give is that there are no microwaves in the hotel/casino, so don't plan on re-heating leftovers, and the casino area smelled like cigarette smoke (common at pretty much any casino in Vegas though). If you pay a little extra you can have a room that looks into the Mystic Falls Park or pay the standard price and see outside to the rest of Vegas. Lastly, the location is great if you want to experience more than just the Strip, or want to save a bit of money and don't mind heading about 20 minutes in town to the Strip.

I have been frequent visitor to Sam's Town for about 25 years. I've probably been here between 30-40 times over that span. I have seen all the changes from good to great - to pretty bad. This visit, I was surprised.
I was here three nights, Friday - Sunday, checking out Monday. Arriving at 4:30 I expected a small line as always at the front desk. Surprisingly, there was no one. I walked right up, checked in, and headed to my room. While it was nice, I've never been here without having to wait in a small line. Over the weekend, it was pretty much a ghost town. I may have been one of the few people on my floor.
I remember how Sam's used to be a strong destination for those of us who don't like the craziness of the strip. SoCal bowling leagues came here all the time. There was a wonderful variety of restaurants, from Mexican (Willy & Jose's), Italian (Fellini's), steak and ribs (Billy Bob's), a buffet, a 24/7 cafe (Harvest), and even a 50's diner (Mary's Diner). Now, I never see a bowling league coming here. The food choices? A high-end steak house (The Angry Butcher,) a cheap chain (TGIF), and a whole bunch of fast food. I only ate two meals at Sam's and both were at Roberto's, a fast-food Mexican counter by the McDonald. Why has Boyd's eliminated the buffets? I love a great buffet for breakfast, so much so that on my way out of town I'll stop by South Point for their breakfast buffet
Previously there has been a good presence of security including right by the elevator doors making you present your room key before you can enter. This visit, the only time I saw security by the elevator was Sunday around noon. Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night, no security at all.
I am so sorry to see how Sam's has downgraded the experience. It has always been my favorite of the off-strip choices. I now question just how long it will last.

This was our 3rd stay at Sam's Town. For being an older property, they have done a very good job, keeping the place fresh and current. Our room was very nice, beds were great. It was nice that you can actually access the hotel rooms, without going through the casino. The general public does not have access to the hotel rooms, which keeps them very quiet.

The hotel is ok, nothing special but just ok.
I'm rating this place one star because when I checked in I was charged an additional $31. a night as a junk fee charge that they referred to as a "resort fee".
This place is hardly a "resort". It is a second or third rate hotel that is located far from anything worthwhile.
A three night stay cost almost an ADDITIONAL $100. over what I was quoted when I booked the room.
Shame on these greedy owners.
Be honest and show the cost upfront.

Beware of bed bugs. On the second day of our stay, my boyfriend had bites on his legs. We didn't know what it was until he killed a bug full of blood. Then we realized it was bed bugs. Filed a complaint with security and was assigned a new room. However we were told different things about our luggage was going to be cleaned. We were initially told the hotel would wash all our clothes, then we were told to leave it in our luggage while they treated the room. I didn't feel the hotel was concerned about the bed bugs. It seemed they must have this problem often based on their lack of concern. Very disappointed with our stay. Also the lack of restaurants at the hotel was also disappointing.

I'll be honest. The first time I went to Sam's town was because it was cheap but, had really good reviews. So, I booked it. My wife got mad at me when I told her where we were staying. I told her give it a chance.
I'm glad she did because know this is the only place we stay in Vegas. The rooms are clean and very nice and everything is here. It has a movie theater (If you keep the stub you get a free game of bowling in their alley), a great buffet (it's was closed this time because of Covid), nice restaurants like the Angry Butcher( We had the filet and lobster deal for $39.99 you have to buy the sides that was delicious) and this little 24hr Mexican food counter the has great food at a great price.
I'm not a gambler, I don't drink or smoke. Normally Vegas is a place I only because of my wife. The thing I love about Sam's town is the non smoking Atrium with a little chessy nature setup with a water feature. It's like a park. I sit and read while my wife drinks and gambles. When she's done we hook up and so things together.
The one thing about it's not on the strip and you need a car because it's not close to any of the other casinos.
But, I say give it a try and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Our second visit in a month during these hard times. Staff from check-in, housekeeping, security, casino floor servers and cleaners, restaurant staff was amazing Our room was pristine, we felt very safe playing slots and table games. The cleaning crew is everywhere and always smiling. Compared to other Vegas casinos and the strip Sam's Town wins it all.

Our 3rd stay and certainly the last at Sam's Town. The hotel's buffet restaurant, which is very good value for money, is permanently closed but no communication on this subject when booking And the prices have not fallen....There are 2 restaurants left but it's 30 minutes to 1 hour of waiting before having a table at breakfast or dinner without us Mc Do et Cie

We arrived at Sam’s Town at 4 pm we were checked in by Vic aka The Bald guy 😂😂 his words not mine . His personality and energy should be bottled and sold for a million dollars. The minute he said hello he was so welcoming and when there was a problem with the shower ride he said it would be taken care of immediately and in less than a hour it was repaired. Across the street is a Walmart super convenient.
Now let me tell you about security there was a older gentleman security officer who confronted my son in law who was watching 4 kids ages 7 months , a 2 yr old a 7 yo and a 13 yo they were in a corner Not a populated area and he told them the kids couldn’t sit on the floor. If they were in a area where people were walking that would be understandable so to him I say SHAME on you. Next time be a little more understanding at least they weren’t running around yelling and acting crazy .
As far as the rest of security Bravo he immediately took care of people acting out including people who weren’t guest . And when a person on a bike looking in parked cars for treasures then immediately took care of it. I felt very safe.
