Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, Las Vegas

Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, Las Vegas, also known as Sam's Town Las Vegas, is a hotel and locals casino in Sunrise Manor, Nevada, located east of Las Vegas. It is named after Sam Boyd, and is owned and operated by Boyd Gaming under the Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall brand. It includes a 120,681 sq ft (11,211.6 m2) casino, a nine-story hotel with 646 rooms, and an RV park. Sam's Town opened in March 1979, with 204 rooms. The property was expanded multiple times to add new features, including a 56-lane bowling alley in 1981. The original hotel rooms were later demolished to make way for the nine-story tower, which opened in 1994. The tower's atrium includes an indoor park, which serves as the venue for a nightly laser and water show. Another expansion, completed in 2000, included the addition of a movie theater. From 1998 to 2014, the property sponsored the Sam's Town 300, an annual NASCAR Xfinity Series race held at nearby Las Vegas Motor Speedway
