Sam’s Town, once a popular casino and hotel in Tunica, Mississippi, closed permanently due to market conditions, Sunday.

Located approximately 40 miles south of Memphis, Sam’s Town opened May 25, 1994, and became an alternative for those who didn’t want to journey to Las Vegas or Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Officially known as a riverboat casino because the gaming area was situated on a building built on barges that float in a pool of water linked to the nearby Mississippi River as required by state law, the resort in all other aspects resembled its Nevada sibling, except for the atrium.

It included a 1,600-seat showroom, a 1,070-room hotel, and an RV park. due to market conditions.

The facility was opened by Boyd Gaming as the third casino branded as Sam’s Town 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 in size with a 200-room hotel.
