The trick is to figure out the verb or auxiliary verb. That verb MUST be used in the tag question.
Sam's never been to Mexico. => Sam HAS never been..., HAS he?
The tag question is the opposite of the verb in terms of positive and negative.
He has been, hasn't he? (positive verb => negative tag)
He has NEVER been, has he? (The "never" makes it negative. => positive tag)
He hasn't been, has he? (negative verb => positive tag)
