We've stayed at that Sam's Town KOA enough times to make our go-to Vegas stop when on the road (as opposed to trips where we're specifically going to Vegas to stay on the strip and do all the Vegas things). Sam's Town is as nice as your RV is. It isn't really nice enough to unpack your chairs and sit outside, but it's also not so seedy that the boogiemen are going to beat down your door.
The slots in the adjacent casinos are pretty fun and they seem looser than the ones on the strip. Twice my wife "went next door to play a few nickels" while I cleaned up at camp and dumped the tanks and then she texted me to say she was "up" enough to pay for another night at the KOA and a decent dinner, so we extended our stay by a night. That's never happened for us when we're staying at expensive places on the strip where the rooms are pricy and the slots are tight.
Come to think of it though, we've seen some amazing coupons in the mail lately from the Wynn. They're really trying to get people back. Our last trip to Vegas before the pandemic shutdown was on one of those Wynn coupon trips and it was pretty amazing. I think it was two midweek nights for the price of one plus a free buffet.
Anyway, Sam's Town is a great stop ("good enough" for us) when we're in the RV.
