Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall is located in Tunica Resorts, Mississippi. Officially known as a riverboat casino because the gaming area is situated on a building built on barges that float in a pool of water linked to the nearby Mississippi River as required by state law, the resort in all other aspects resembles its Nevada sibling, except for the atrium. It includes a 1,600 seat showroom, a 1,070-room hotel, and an RV park.
History[edit]
The facility was opened on May 25, 1994,[1] by Boyd Gaming as the third casino branded as Sam's Town[a] and the first casino opened by Boyd outside of Nevada. It was built to replicate a Western town; at the time it opened it was 400,000 square feet (37,000 m2) in size with a 200-room hotel.[2]

From 1999 to 2007, Boyd sponsored the Sam's Town 250, a NASCAR Busch Series race at nearby Memphis International Raceway.[6][7]
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the hotel and casino were closed from March until May, along with multiple other hotels and casinos in the area.[8]
