Among the first hotels on The Strip, the Sahara Hotel and Casino is undoubtedly a Las Vegas original. Positioned just two miles from the convention center, downtown, and the Fremont Street Experience, this venerable, modestly priced institution hails from the days of the Rat Pack, and still exudes a vintage mystique that is nostalgic to seasoned travelers and fascinating to younger generations.
Popular among families, this tourist-class hotel boasts many distinguished entertainment venues and impressive aesthetic features, but in general the hotel is applauded for its location near the Monorail. While adults capitalize on cocktails and low-minimum blackjack tables in the 80,000-square-feet casino, thrill seekers will find a home in the Cyber Speedway or aboard Speed, the hotel's 70-mph roller-coaster. For an intimate evening of fine dining, the legendary House of Lords offers a seductive menu of steaks and seafood, in a baroque environment, where frescoes, jeweled lighting and custom furniture are commonplace. Also of interest, the 5,000-square-foot Moroccan themed pool and cabana were designed to resemble a desert oasis in the middle of the Sahara.
With several different formats to choose from, guests of the Sahara will be pleasantly surprised at the condition and value of the hotel's 1,108 deluxe guestrooms. While standard units are spacious and clean, with comfortable bedding and elaborate decorative treatments, the one-bedroom suites feature classic reproduction furniture ensembles and a view of Las Vegas that is unobstructed and unrivaled. Resigned to meeting the needs of their esteemed clientele, the Sahara Las Vegas Hotel and Casino provides a convenient repertoire of guestroom amenities including wireless high-speed Internet access, satellite television and work desks.
