Reviews Summary
Sam's Town Tunica, now permanently closed, received mixed reviews in its final years. While some guests found rooms clean and the food at Smoky Joe's delicious, others reported significant issues with room comfort, cleanliness, and a lack of casino activity. The venue's closure marked the end of its operational history.
"I've tried 3 times to write this review and got kicked off the site. Sans town need new machines. The mattresses needs to be replaced. You can't get room service. The place is dead now. No bands any more. The food at Smokey Joe's is delicious. Look at the casino in Oak Grove and Mint. They have good machines. Get the red dragon machines they have. Shop around to different places to see the environment, and the people that's there. No enthusiasm what so ever. I like Sam's town. It's not the same since they tore down everything. The hallways are spooky. Make a change"

"Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Hotel checkin was quick. The casino itself was dead. There wasn't very many people at all and the machines were definitely not paying. We ate at Smoky Joe's and it was good food."
Rebecca Phillips
"No front desk staff available after a certain hour, arrived in the room the smoke smell is strong and horrible. The entire room stink. The room had spider webs in the ceiling that made it very uncomfortable to sleep. Bed are very hard. I called down to front desk with the complaint they did offer to buy me in another room but when I asked would the next room be more cleaner than I’m in they stated they’re not sure because they’re just security and was left to hand out keys and front desk won’t be in until 8. This is horrible service. Will not be booking here again."

The Closure of Sam's Town Tunica
Past visitors recall a time when the casino was more vibrant, with live bands and a lively atmosphere. However, in its later years, reviews indicated a decline in enthusiasm and machine payouts. The closure left a void in the Tunica casino landscape, prompting many to seek out other gaming destinations in the Mississippi Delta region. While the physical location is no longer active, the memories of its past entertainment and dining experiences, particularly Smoky Joe's restaurant, remain with former patrons.
Past Guest Experiences
Service experiences also varied. While some praised the top-notch, friendly, and courteous staff, others reported a lack of front desk availability after certain hours and unhelpful security personnel when issues arose. The casino floor itself was often described as 'dead' with machines that were 'definitely not paying.' Despite these criticisms, the food at Smoky Joe's restaurant received consistent praise for being delicious. The closure of the venue means these past experiences are now part of its history.
