| - "Finally the Rock has come to Sam's Town." Last week he headlined the Main Event at the WWE Royal Rumble at Sam's Town Live. Once a month, Sam's Town turns into WWE town when they hold the monthly WWE pay-per-view. Professional wrestling fans from all over Las Vegas travel to Sam's Town for the pay- per-view. Lately I have been one of them.
Although professional wrestling is staged, the entertainment of the wrestling pay-per-views at Sam's Town is real. The $5 admission for a pay-per-view that costs $50 at your house is a bargain. The entertainment begins before Sam's Town Live opens the doors for the pay-per-view. The WWE fans get really into it. Some of the conversations I hear on line are entertaining. Especially from the fans that think it is real. At the group tables, the fans get into the anticipation of the pay-per-view. And they get into the beer and snacks.
Eating and drinking at Sam's Town Live will not drain your wallet. A cup of Miller Draft beer is only $2.50. Yet people still complain because it was $1.50 a couple of pay-per-views ago. And let me write that nachos and cheese is $3 and a bag of popcorn is $2.50.
Sam's Town is smart by holding the $5 WWE pay-per-views. When I go there I spend money. Food is a big part of it.
Although I wouldn't give Sam's Town a Heavyweight Champion belt on food, it may be in the running for the Intercontinental belt for a Boulder Highway resort restaurant selection. They have a decent food court that features McDonald's, Sbarro, and Panda Express. The McDonald's makes for a nice late night snack. At the southeast entrance of the property is Subway, an ice cream parlor, and Dunkin Donuts. Whenever I visit Sam's Town it is nearly guaranteed that I pick up Dunkin Donut's coffee then drink it in Mystic Falls Park. They also have the Fireplace Buffet, TGI Friday's, a deli, and other restaurants. For the record the Fireplace Buffet ranges from okay to good.
Entertainment is another factor that brings me to Sam's Town. I appreciate the job that Sam's Town did with their Mystic Falls Park. The menagerie of wildlife robots has a way of charming people. Their laser show is first-rate. Away from the wildlife robots, Century Theater has brought me into the casino. It was a great experience seeing "Avatar" there. If I was up to bowling, I am confident that I would like the bowling alley.
While I am enjoying the WWE pay-per-views, eating out, and the entertainment; the one armed bandits are never far from the back of my mind. In the 2000's, Sam's Town has buried the majority of the one armed bandits. I enjoy playing Caveman Keno on their computerized machines. The machines are far from tight, and Lady Luck has sometimes visited Sam's Town when I played there. And, whether I win or not, I am content with the cocktail waitress service.
It is possible that The Rock may have visited Sam's Town for the last time. It is certain that I will visit Sam's Town another time. When it comes to WWE pay-per-view events in Las Vegas, Sam's Town is the Heavyweight Champion.
