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]

In 2002, Boyd bought an adjacent hotel and theater owned by Isle of Capri Casinos for $7.5 million.^[3][4] Sam's Town expanded into the property, adding an additional hotel tower and parking garage. As of November 2020, Sam's Town has over 700 hotel rooms in Tunica.^[5]

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]
