Absolute Best Camping Near the Vegas Strip:
1. Las Vegas KOA Journey at Sam’s Town: 7 miles to the Strip
The Las Vegas KOA is right next door to the Sam’s Town Hotel and Casino so you can enjoy a night at the casino and walk home to your RV for a restful sleep. There is a North Camp and a South Camp with similar amenities. The South Camp is the larger of the two. There’s a small pool and spa for guests as well as a small fenced-in dog run. Sam’s Town Hotel and Casino next door has an 18-screen theatre, bowling alley, Roxy’s lounge for shows and a food court. All within walking distance. This is not the place to stay if you want to get close to nature, it is more like a parking lot with a few cleverly placed trees, but you will be close to the action of Vegas.
