Everything I find out there posing this question is really outdated. I ask because I only have one Mastercard, and I'm thinking about closing it.
Any places you've seen that take only Mastercard (and not Visa)? Feel free to include international experiences.

From an international experience, and it depends on where you're going, I found that MC was more globally accepted. However, I always took EMV/no FTF cards with all the 3 networks (V/MC/AX) just in case one network was not accepted.
Fin,
Where the heck are you going that they dont take MC? 
I mean, Ive been a lot of places that look at me like im nuts when I pull out a credit card, but thats a different story alltogether..

Yes! I checked the CC logos at checkout and saw all the big ones except Amex.wait just a second... I think I remember that its either the self check out, or the regular check out lanes, only take the Sams or MC, but the other one does take all... I just cant remeber which one does!
All the Sam's Clubs I've been to only take Mastercard and Discover (along with their own PLCC) in the store - no Visa credit cards.
If you have a Visa debit card, you can use it as long as you use your PIN, since it's not run over the credit network.
This being said, if you order from samsclub.com, you can use Visa credit, as well as Amex.
