Sam's Town offers the best of both worlds - a quiet room away from the strip and a shuttle which takes you to the heart of the action!

I received a mailer offering our group a $30/night stay along with a funbook. At that price, one might expect a hotel that looks like Motel 6 or Super 8. However, I think that Sam's Town far exceeds expectations considering the price.

They have their own bowling alley which is open 24 hours (it's cheaper if you play during non-peak hours), a movie theater playing the recent releases, your typical buffet, cafe, and fast food restaurants inside the hotel. My favorite restaurant is Willie and Jose's Cantina. Yum-O mexican food at reasonable prices!

The shuttle service is dependable and efficient. As long as you try to plan your day around the pick-up times it is a very convenient service.

If you are a young couple or a young group of people, Sam's Town may not be for you. This isn't your kind of place if you're looking for the hot table action and clubs.

With that aside, I'd highly encourage you to visit Sam's Town...at $30 a night, you can't go wrong!!

We had a very nice stay at Sam's Town. This was our first trip to Vegas and we were a little unsure what to expect but found it a very easy city to get around in and we had no problems finding Sam's Town. We stayed 2 nights here, then went on to Utah before coming back and spending our last night here again. We enjoyed being able to get away from the hustle and bustle of the strip and there was plenty to do at Sam's Town. The light and water show was nice to watch in the evenings. There are stores here also that were nice to shop in, no crowds and very convenient. We loved the Fireside Cafe that offered a breakfast buffet for $6.00 and I believe the dinner time one was $10. Lots of fantastic food for a very reasonable price.
While I had read a couple reviews concerning the smell of cigarette smoke, we didn't notice any at all. We were there midweek so not a big crowd but as non smokers we expected to smell it a bit but couldn't detect any at all. We did of course ask for a non smoking room and stayed on the 3rd floor our first stay and the 4th floor the second time.
The valet parking made things very easy and convenient for us. Just pull in front of the door and unload and your done. Same when you are ready to check out or to go downtown, hardly any wait time and very pleasant attendants.
I plan to stay here again when we return to Vegas, we got our rooms at a very reasonable price and were very satisfied.

We had heard all great stuff about Sam's Town but for our stay there nothing went right. We decided to stay a few days on the strip then move to Sam's town for a change of pace. We booked through Expedia and had requested a smoking room and yes i know that this is not a guarantee-but this is Vegas-didn't think this would be problem here -anyways there was no smoking rooms available when we checked in which was 4 pm and the earliest we could have checked in was 3 pm so the front desk staff (Vic) was very nice and said to call down to the front desk in the morning and request to be moved to a smoking room. We thought no problem we are very easy going people. To go and have a smoke was quite the ordeal since we were on the seventh floor and had to go all the way to the casino whenever we wanted to smoke-no balconies or smoking in the halls allowed. When we called down in the morning we were told that they might be about to move us at around 2 pm to a smoking room if we stayed and waited around until then-if we weren't there at that time they couldn't hold the room for us-We were absolutely not waiting all day in the hotel to maybe get a smoking room!! I talked to the manager finally and was told we had to move all our luggage out of the room and could keep it at the front desk so the room could be held for us because we couldn't occupy two rooms even for a coulple of hours-we stayed here midweek and i'm sure there were vacant rooms but the manger was not willing to help us out with this at all. Finally we decided we couldn't fight with them and get anywhere so was transferred our stuff to another room the rest of our group was staying in and got them to hold on to the smoking room for us because we had plans for the day.They were not helpful or accomadating at all!!!
Once one thing goes wrong everything seems to go down hill. The pool is small but open late so we thought that was great until we went there at night and saw all the cockroaches in between the cracks!!! A few I can understand but they were everywhere-even dead ones in the pool!!! The parking is far from the rooms which is not fun after a long night of walking. People were not friendly or having a good time-unlike staying on the strip. The buffet was well priced and fairly decent. Mystic Falls is currently not open-under construction-which was very disappointing and it's a long drive to the strip. All in all I didn't like most of the staff or atmosphere at Sam's Town-would never stay her again

It's Vegas...unless you get one of the newer hotels, you'll basically get the same room anywhere. Sam's town is a ways from the strip...which is what we wanted...but there is a free shuttle to the strip. The are constructing a new casino next door, but we didn't have any issues hearing the noise. The rooms are clean, the staff is very nice and the parking is close. If you don't want to stay on the strip, Sam's is as good a place as any and well worth the money!
