Sam's Town Race and Sports Book Review
The race and sports book at Sam’s Town was remodeled in October of 2007 to create a modern, 15,000 square-foot race and sports book with comfortable seating, perfect lighting and TVs in easy-to-view areas. A full-size video wall is also available, while horse betters can watch from personal TVs. The electronic boards behind the sports book desk make it easy to read and follow up on player stats.
The bar is located directly behind the sports book area. There is also a full deli for hungry bettors. An ATM is located in the vicinity as well.
With all the buzz and excitement going on at this sports book, you’ll feel like you’re on the Strip.
