This place is amazing value. I paid $32 and the room was superb. I stayed at the aladdin ont he strip the night before for $145 and the quality of the rooms was honestly comparable.
Sams had nice wild-west theming, large clean rooms, very nice bathroom, nice quality tolietries, frioendly staff and the laser show is fun too. (its no Bellagio, but good anyway)
Aparently the slots here are looser- although I did not win, a woman sat down from me won $4,000 on the nickels slots!!!! (she was happy)

the only "bad" thing is the obvious distance form the strip-but if you have a car, its a 15 min drive - and strip hotels are free to park. Or there is a shuttle- or cab- overall, this place was great value and I would rather spend the extra money on having fun in vegas!!!

My husband & I just returned from our 6-day vacation in Las Vegas; since our trip from the onset was very much budgeted, I made our arrangements to stay at Sam's Town during the spring. Because the cost for the room was under $300 (which included all taxes and fees etc), after reading some of the negative reviews, I was somewhat apprehensive as to what we were going to find once we reached our destination. What a surprise! Courteous service at the registration desk, a very picturesque atrium and suprisingly, a very nice room (although our view consisted of the parking lot). Our days were well packed so we never really stayed much in the room, but always found fresh towels and a neat room upon our return. We definitely would not hesitate to stay at Sam's Town again although you must take into consideration that it is about 6 miles from the strip. Since we always rent a car, this had no impact on us. Looking forward to next year!

We ended up staying at Sam's Town on the 8th of August 2004 because of a change in flights. I really can not complain too much we got the room for $39 (because it was Sunday) and the hotel was very nice lots to see and do and the steak and egg breakfast for $4 can not be beat! The only complaint was we must have been at the farthest room in the hotel down the longest darkest cooridor was a little eerie feeling, the room however was very nice high ceilings and furnished nicely. I would not want to stay here if the strip was my main focus it is a long ways out. Staff were exceelent and ver friendly and helpful.

Our family (hubby, two daughters and me) stayed at Sam's Town Fri, Aug 13 after having been at one of the Las Vegas strip casinos for two nights. (We moved for the Friday night because Sam's Town was so much more reasonable in price on a weekend). It was nice enough. Nothing fancy. Clean, basic room with 2Q beds. Fine for the price. Felt "lower class" than the strip because of several things....first the little sign in the bathroom informing you what you'd be charged should you decide to steal a towel, or rug or pillow from the room. I understand why they do that as I guess some folks just can't resist, but I found it in poor taste to state it. We had travelers checks and walked from cashier to cashier until someone finally told us we needed to go to the "main cage" and wait in a 15 minute line to cash our travelers checks. I never had such a tough time spending money as we did there! Then after you play the slots, its back to the cashier with the little ticket. On the strip you can feed the ticket back into another machine. The seafood buffet was a mob scene in endless line ques which we decided to forgo. Nice selection of other restaurants, small arcade, nice ice cream parlor and decent food court. Slots didn't seem any looser than anywhere else. Could earn a free buffet with players club, but weren't there long enough to do so. The waterfall in the atrium is pretty. Would have liked to see the show at night with lights. Our kids felt like the wolf and bear were a bit corny, but they are pre-teens so the magic has worn off. Overall, I'd say that Sam's Town is a still a deal and if the glitz and luxury of the strip is not important to you...go for it! We'd likely go back and stay there again, but I'd avoid the weekend as it was just a mad house.
