    It seemed about 20 minutes or so and runs both ways. Sam's Town has shuttles between them and Harrah's but also runs a shuttle to downtown with stops at The Cal and Fremont. Although they claim the shuttle is just for guests staying at Sam's, it's been mentioned many times on this board that no one has ever been asked to show a key. It's a great way to check it out while staying on the strip or downtown.

    Here's a link to the schedule, it runs pretty frequently. http://static.boydgaming.net/samstownlv10/media/downloads/ST-Shuttle-Schedule-Mar2014.pdf

    nice report!
    But wow...From the high to to the low (WynnCore to Sams Town, lol)
    I THINK the Suite you had at Sam's, was the same one we got for our wedding trip (based on your view), 6th floor?

    I get what your saying Tim but in this case, I would say we went from a low to a high. WynnCore was just off this visit and Sam's Town was fun! Alcohol makes a big difference. I lost more $$ at ST but had more fun doing it. That counts for something.

    LOL Tim, I'm not sure I want to know!! J/k though, I enjoyed following along with your wedding trip report. The only knowledge I had about suites at ST came from your report. Just the same, what a relief...

    Same layout, different floor? Our room was closer to the elevator back by the food court, than the glass elevator.

    It was a nice suite.

    Could you please tell me where you catch the shuttle at Harrah's to Sam's Town? Sorry about the poor drink service at Encore and Wynn. Your trip sounds like a lot of fun.

    no disrespect meant...just saying the glamour of Wynn, versus the budget minded of Sam Boyd.
    And ST only has that suite in the same location on every floor (we had 658, where you had 458)

    Actually there are at least 2 of those style suites on each floor, and one of the larger suites on each floor. So, there are at least 3 suites on each floor, if not, 4 of them. There is also a Presidential level suite, but I am not sure if they are on every floor.

    I wish I could give you better directions Grandmaw but I'm not too familiar with Harrah's. We went out to the back of Harrah's and then crossed over to the parkade. The shuttles all leave from the bottom level. I got this pic off the internet to give you an idea of what to look for.
