Locals know where to go. Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall was Las Vegas’ first “locals” casino when it debuted in 1979. Today, Boyd Gaming operates several locals properties that offer you a wide range of entertainment options – movies, bowling, live entertainment, sporting events, sparkling swimming pools, slots, bingo, race and sports books, table games, and award-winning meals. Our team members greet customers by name, and newcomers become regulars in no time at all.
