Sam's Town Hotel & Gambling Hall

If you're in Vegas and looking for something truly special, Mystic Falls Park is a hidden gem! The lush greenery, cascading waterfall, and lifelike animatronic animals set the perfect scene, but the real magic happens during the vibrant laser light show. With stunning water effects and an energizing soundtrack, it's a one-of-a-kind experience you won't find anywhere else in Vegas. Be sure to arrive early for the best view and surprise your date with a unique pre-movie experience at the nearby Cinemark. Don't miss it!

Went here for the winter wonderland display. The lights were nice and we got a visit with Santa. We went at 2 pm so the shows didn't start yet. The shows don't start until 4 pm. We went early because we didn't want to deal with the crowds!!! But I think it would've been nicer in the evening and with the show. We spent about 10-15 minutes walking through the displays and taking pictures with the lights and waterfalls. We also went to gift shop which was expensive! But fun to look at their toys and stuff. If you are in the area, it's a nice quick stop. But I don't know if I'd drive far to see this unless you really come for the show. The line for Santa when we arrived was short so that was fast and easy. And there is plenty of self-parking for free. But like any Vegas hotel, you just have to walk!

As a local who some years visits Sams Town during the Christmas season to see the kitschy display in the "park", I was pretty disappointed yesterday. First I guess it was my fault for not verifying when the Christmas show was active. I guess I figured that on a Sunday when there would be a lot of families out, it would be active at noon or something. Apparently, not till later in the day I found out. There was a little gazebo with a tired looking Santa letting folks take pictures.Ok, on to the casino itself, we a know Sam's town is not the flagship of the Boyd group, but still....NFR was in town so there were groups of tourists (presume they were by the western wear) around the casino floor. But there were large groups of families and what was surprising several groups of young teenagers wandering around unescorted.Then there was the pervasive smell. No, not tobacco... But chemical like cleaning compounds or deoderizers... But man, did my eyes burn. I'm not usually a food court person , not for any particular reason, just not. Didn't want to go to Friday's or the sports deli or Dunkin, but figured maybe McD's ..Well the food court was darkish, tables that were not filled (and most were since it's a small space) were dirty, trash was overflowing . The one chair I managed to snag hada cushion that sunk down so.low I thought I'd hit the floor. My dining companion got something from Panda Express, but I just couldn't get motivated to order anything . She said it was ok and they did do a ten percent miltary discount. Not sure what other dining options there are there during the day.Slot machines, decent variety, same for poker machines....Will I go back? Maybe next Christmas...

I've been coming to Sam's Town Casino for a few years now. Ever since I found out they have a mural dedicated to the band, The Killers. The mural is amazing and makes a great photo opportunity location if you are a huge fan. The casino occasionally has some limited edition The Killers themed casino chips on the floor because The Killers played at the casino back in 2016. If interested, just ask any of the casino tables to see if they have any in circulation. There is plenty of free parking and plenty of kid friendly areas at this location. Not only is this place a casino, but they also have several dining locations, a movie theater, live music on select nights, and a bowling alley. They also have an indoor waterfall! There is something for everyone here, all ages.This casino is a bit older than most, so keep that in mind when visiting. The circulation system could be a bit better. As soon as you walk in the casino, you get hit with heavy smoke smell from people smoking. I definitely make Sam's Town part of my itinerary every time I visit Las Vegas. They have plenty of touristy items for sale in their gift shop. My mom even hit a jackpot here a few years back on New Year's Day.

This is a cute hotel that is nostalgic for me. I grew up staying here with my mom. Rooms are clean and somewhat affordable. I stated here with my husband. There is a lot to if you are willing to pay. They do have a bowling alley and movie theater. The true highlight is the free lights show that is put on every evening in the courtyard. The downside is the place smells. In some parts it smelled like smoke, others like weed. They need a newer filtration system.

Stayed here on 10/18/24 the room was spotless very clean the bed is very comfy there is a $100 hold when you check in at the main desk this hotel was the only affordable hotel for nascar weekend. Be sure to check out their mystic falls park it's beautiful especially there nightly shows

This hotel is my go-to place when visiting Las Vegas. The strip gets way too crowded. I like the calmness of this casino. The movie theater and bowling alley are awesome. The rooms are clean. The casino is well maintained and the slot machines are fun to play. :)

The view from our room was really nice but the bed was AWFUL. We enjoyed the fact that quad makes it seem like you are in a different area and not in a casino.

SERVICE & TRANSITIONS -- AwesomeButter smooth checkin process; professional, efficient & down to earth.The (jungle) theme is something circus & public spaces were fantastic: impeccably clean, immersive, & an expert use of color psychology -- the best of all BOYD gaming locations IMO.MVP employees: BrittanyROOM (Deluxe King) -- https://youtu.be/iPKU8Sn9cwwPictures online are lifeless & uninspired... But in-person: vibrant, clean, & comfortably contemporary!Very impressed by house keeping performing deep cleanings during the work week.Our view was great for the extra light, but obstructed by bird poop & bugs . Windows simply aren't washed regularly enough.The dedicated workspace was perfect for work & extra tabletop space.BED -- greatLinens & mattress were in peak condition.Pillow build was spectacular.This was some of my best sleep in Las Vegas.BATH -- greatHuge tub, huge vanity, & powerful water pressure! This should be the baseline for Vegas hotel shower plumbing IMO.Cons: Towels were extremely rough & worn...TV/ENT./ACTIVITIES -- GoodThis TV was abhorrent.. everything from the programming, to the remote. It's a fragile & draconian TV solution.But there's plenty to do in this family-friendly megaplex of a casino thx to:A movie theatre, pool, bowling hall, & slots galore!WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- badVerizon service was super strong - Full bars 5G-uw!!WiFi was the status quo Boyd gaming configuration: weak, unencrypted, & overpriced.--Performance--Video streaming - GoodOnline gaming - greatVideo chatting - great --Nerd Stats--2-5 Mbps download 4-18 Mbps upload0% packet loss14 ms latency3 ms jitterFOOD & DRINK -- greatNot DoorDash friendly (very difficult in fact).Food courts offer a modest variety of convenience: Subway, McDonald's, Dunkin donuts, etc.Food service was much more personable here than at the Gold Coast casino.in-room: microwave mini-fridge (small) coffee tea wet-bar mini-barNOISE -- AwfulThin walls, "Your worst nightmare, thin".We could hear bed frames moving, TVs, & conversations (talking-volume) in other units.LOCATION -- I felt safe, in general & as a minority here.Walmart across the street + other shopping centers in walking distance.Valet parking is not managed well; so chaotic and congested at random times. Tighten up!RECOMMENDATION & RATINGFinal price: $113.58/nightWas it worth it: yes Best part: food & drinkThe first Boyd Gaming hotel I actually felt comfortable in, slept like a baby, & wanted to book again. Despite repulsive WiFi performance.Please tip the house keepers, they go above & beyond!4.5/5 @mrstaycation

Boyd gaming has some of my favorite casinos. They are not just good for playing at but enjoyable for the atmosphere and the vibe. Sam's town has a wonderful family atmosphere. They offer a theater and bowling, and this beautiful courtyard with running water and garden like atmosphere and at night Mystic falls gives you a beautiful laser light show.They have several options for dining like McDonalds in their dining hall which make it a lot more accessible for familys. They are one of the few who have a fun bowling alley for those in tournament play or those who just want to play. This place offers a homey feel and thats a good thing.
