Rooms are built around a truly spectacular indoor atrium that must be seen to be believed. With a nine-story glass roof and a 25,000-square-foot indoor park filled with live trees, waterfalls and footpaths, it is one of Las Vegas' most rare of surprises. The restaurants here are among the town's most popular. Willie and Jose's Mexican Cantina serves up regional dishes with spirit, while the Italian menu of Papamio's is as delicious as they come. A nightly water-and-laser show dazzles crowds nightly. Dozens of other amenities -- including a dance hall, outdoor volleyball courts, an ice cream parlor and an interactive sports bar -- only serve to compliment what is still one of the most popular local casinos, with three separate floors of round-the-clock gaming action. It may not be on the Strip or in the heart of Glitter Gulch, but Sam's Town is still every bit the quintessential Las Vegas experience. Missing this town is to miss the frontier spirit that built this metropolis from the dust in the first place.

Taking what was a calculated
risk for 1979, father and son Sam and Bill Boyd opened Sam's Town
on the corner of Boulder Highway and Flamingo, six miles from the
Strip and Downtown. Their goal was create an environment where locals
would feel comfortable playing. Nearly two decades on, Sam's Town
has become an indispensable stop for locals and visitors alike.
