Description: Overlooking the Red River, this 23-story hotel has 514 rooms and suites, each with a wealth of amenities. Standard rooms come with either two queen-size beds or one king. All rooms have a 32-inch TV, granite top sink, hair dryer, minirefrigerator, phone, and an iron with an ironing board. Each floor has a two-room Magnolia suite with 760 square feet of living space, complete with a wet bar. The top floor hosts a number of multiroom suites, ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 square feet, designed for those who desire the utmost in luxury and views of the surrounding area that simply cannot be beat. As with all casino hotels, the day and season of your stay will dictate the cost of your room or suite; expect prices to be more than double for Fri and Sat night stays. Sam’s Town is one of the only casinos that hosts an outdoor pool, so be ready to relax and enjoy both the cooling waters and the magnificent landscaping. If you desire additional pampering, call and make your appointment for the Rose Spa. Located on the third floor, it offers massages, facials, a variety of body treatments and wraps, as well as manicures and pedicures. Also indulge in the men’s and women’s dry saunas and steam rooms (private showers and lockers are provided). The exercise-minded guest will find the fitness center a definite plus, but be sure to call ahead to make a reservation for its many services. Want to eat before trying your luck at the tables or slots? Consider William B’s, the property’s premiere steakhouse. Or if you are looking for cowboy creole, check out Smokey Joe’s Café. And if you simply cannot decide on a particular cuisine, the international buffet offers the diner a global, gastronomical experience. Need to host a delicious dinner or buffet for 300 or more people? The 18,000-square-foot Magnolia Ballroom should definitely be considered. Live entertainment can be found throughout the facility on most nights. Close to most attractions, Sam’s Town should be on the short list for both the serious gamer and sightseer.
