Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall is located in Tunica Resorts, Mississippi.

It includes a 1,600 seat showroom, a 1,070-room hotel, and an RV park.
Sam’s Town boasts plenty of casino action, over 700 hotel rooms, along with restaurants, an entertainment lounge, a 1,500-seat arena featuring a cross-section of national recording artists, a retail center, an 18-hole championship links-style golf course and other recreational facilities.
