Sam's Town Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located in Sunrise Manor, Nevada[3] on the corner of Flamingo Road and Boulder Highway. It is one of the casinos owned and operated by Boyd Gaming. It features a 25,000-square-foot indoor park, bowling center, movie theater, and one of the largest casino floors in Las Vegas.[4]
One of the unique features of the hotel is "Mystic Falls Park", a large glass-roofed atrium with tall live trees, cobblestone paths, and a waterfall in the center where Sunset Stampede Laser Light and Water Show is performed several times a day.[5][6][7]
The original Sam's Town opened on April 1, 1979[8] and it was one of the first locals casinos to open in the Las Vegas Valley.[citation needed] Over the next 21 years, Sam's Town would undergo eight expansions. In 1994, its original hotel rooms were demolished for an expansion which added a high-rise tower with 650 rooms, along with Mystic Falls.[9]
An $86 million renovation and expansion project took place in 2000, toning down the property's country theme while adding more casino space, a buffet, a pool, and a parking garage.[9][10] The project also added an 18-screen Century Theatres facility,[11] and a 1,050-seat showroom known as Sam's Town Live.[12]
In 2023 Sam's Town became the last known casino to remove Full Pay Deuces Wild Video Poker from their casino, a variant of video poker known for its vulnerability to advantage play, essentially making it an extinct version of the game of video poker.[15]
