Editorial Review for Sahara Hotel & Casino – by Ryan Slattery

In Short
New owners may have taken over the 55-year-old Sahara, but the place where Frank, Dean and Sammy stayed and played is sticking around. As the north end of the Strip undergoes a building boom, the Sahara keeps plugging along. The casino has a poker room and gaming tables with minimums as low as $3 per hand for blackjack and $1 for roulette. Entertainment includes The Fab Four, a Beatles tribute band; Elvis impersonator Trent Carlini as "The Dream King"; and the bizarre comedy of Amazing Johnathan.

Insider Tips

Where to Stay

Room 2344 is the most requested suite at the hotel. Why? It's where John, Paul, George, and Ringo once slept.

Save Time

A Monorail stop on the property makes trips to the far end of the Strip a breeze.

The Extras

The NASCAR Cafe has an arcade, cyber speedway and features Speed - The Ride, a roller coaster that hits 70 mph.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The Sahara puts the simple back in simple. Are room was quaint and peaceful and filled with all the ammenities you would ever need. Location was ideal with a monorail stop located in the hotel and a stop for the Deuce located directly across the street, not to mention it was within walking distance of my favorite strip club. We experienced a small setback with air conditoner, but nothing uncommon that could'nt be fixed by sleeping directly next to the vent. The Pool area was breathtaking with cystal clear water and helpful staff. My only complaint was they removed the camel statue after the first night I was there. Overall our stay was filled with yummy goodness and I can't imagine you'll find more bangg for your buck on the strip.

Pros: Great Value, Great Location, Fantastic Poker Room, Beautiful Pool

Cons: No more Camel

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I have been in some bad rooms in Vegas, but this one makes a Motel 6 look like a Radisson. Let me first say that we did not have the problems with waiting in the check-in line like the other reviewers mentioned, and the staff seemed pretty friendly. Good first impression, but then we got to our room. Upon entering and beginning to unpack, we found a half-eaten jar of salsa in a drawer. After that, we found that there was a 'short hair' on the toilet seat, and the shower did not drain properly. The air conditioning was AWFUL. Turned up to full blast on 'cold', it barely was blowing any cold air whatsoever. The only comfortable spot in the room was directly next to the air duct...all other places in the room were uncomfortably warm, especially when coming from the Vegas heat. It was hard to get to sleep because of this. The television was also ridiculous....it was literally about a 13" TV. It had cable, but there was only about 8 channels and all of the channels had reception problems. Why would cable ever have bad reception??? All in all, the stay at the Sahara was awful. We knew this before we got there, but the Sahara is a very far walk from the main part of the strip. It may be a lot cheaper, but you get what you pay for...and you'll end up paying the extra money in cab fees to get to the main part of the strip if that's what you want to do. And you may get 'leftovers' in the room from the last occupants. GROSS.

Pros: Helpful staff.

Cons: Disgusting and extremely uncomfortable room

A staple on the Strip for more than a half-century, the Sahara is a throwback to old Vegas.  See the full editorial review.
