The original Sam's Town opened on April 1, 1979[5] and it was one of the first locals casinos to open in the Las Vegas Valley.[citation needed] Over the next 21 years, Sam's Town would undergo eight expansions. In 1994, its original hotel rooms were demolished for an expansion which added a high-rise tower with 650 rooms, along with Mystic Falls. An $86 million renovation and expansion took place in 2000, toning down the property's country theme while adding more casino space, a buffet, a pool, and a parking garage. Also added was a new building to house both a two-story movie theater with 18 screens and a special events center.[6] Sam's Town is part of the Boulder Strip.[7]
From 1980 to 1999 the studios of Nevada Public Radio were located in a separate building on the property.
The 2006 album Sam's Town by The Killers was named after the casino.
