When we made our reservation to stay at Sams Town for a January 2003 visit, we were a bit skeptical. It seemed so far away from everything else in town. Since we were only staying one night, we figured this would be a trial of sorts, and, if we liked it, wed book a room there for our next visit. We will be back! The park-like atrium and its waterfall were very nice and a perfect place to relax. All casino and hotel staff were professional and pleasant to interact with. The rooms take on a no-frills approach in terms of their amenities when compared to other Vegas properties, but are nicely appointed. The casino was not very clean and had numerous malfunctioning machines, but my brother, a Sams Town regular, says that this is unusual. The Firelight Buffet (reviewed separately) was terrific. Try Sams Townyoull like it.
Pros: inexpensive, attractions
