It’s also too far to stay without a free shuttle. Sam’s Town is 6.5 miles away from the Las Vegas Strip, which is just too far to walk. The shuttle runs approximately every 30 minutes (based on traffic) on the following schedule: Though the shuttle is complementary, there is a tip jar located by the driver, which you should use. That’s the casino’s loyalty program, which is free to join. It’s free, even to non-hotel guests, although you need to be a B Connected member. But now its only stop on the Strip is the Fashion Show Mall. It used to go to The Linq (which used to be Imperial Palace), which was centrally located on the Strip and a super convenient stop. There’s a complementary shuttle that goes from Gold Coast to The Orleans (another casino off the strip) to The Fashion Show Mall. But the thing is, since Gold Coast is off the Strip, it’s not an ideal place to stay … unless you take the free shuttle into consideration. This is where we stayed in 2011 and paid less than $35 (plus the resort fee) for a weeknight. Gold Coast is off the Strip, so the prices for the hotel are super affordable.
