SAM'S TOWN

FRIENDLINESS RATING: C
Employees are not eager to answer your questions but when pressed, they'll finally "give in." I have never been greeted upon entering this casino. People sit down at tables and grunt to say "hello." Not a terribly friendly place, but more of a "local's place" where employees don't really feel the need to talk too much.

GAMBLING RATING: C

Average casino that caters to the locals. Lots of video poker and slots. I wouldn't recommend this place for tourists.

ATMOSPHERE: B
The place may look a little run down on the outside, but the interior is really neat. There's a little village and a 9-story indoor glass atrium where a light and water show takes place every night (it's lame). The atrium is filled with live trees, winding paths, relaxing waterfalls and even a fake bird or two for good measure. The casino itself is nondescript and smoky.

OTHER:
The Sunset Stampede show is overhyped but is really lame. A couple of fake coyotes bark and the water changes colors. Not worth the time unless you are already at the casino. The casino also has a large RV park and a bingo parlor, as well as an excellent 56-lane bowling alley. Sam's Town runs several shuttle buses from various (and ever changing) locations on the Strip. Call the casino to find out where you can be picked up.
