Sahara Hotel Review

Bringing the mystery and glamor of one famous desert to another, the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas has provided luxury accommodations to Vegas visitors for decades, bringing the city’s rich history and modern sensibilities to travelers like no other.

Appearance

A classic mainstay of Las Vegas since the fifties, the Sahara is a welcome oasis to all who brave the desert—and the rewards are many. Delicious food, exciting gaming action, and comfortable and affordable rooms beckon from this prime location near the Strip.

Rooms at the Sahara are some of the best deals in town—inspired by the Moroccan style that permeates the resort, they’re roomy and beautifully appointed.

After checking out your new “home,” throw on your bathing suit and make your way to the pool or Jacuzzi or head over for a day of pampering at the Destination Salon and Spa. For the racing fan, go to the other end of the spectrum and abandon relaxation for thrills at the Sahara Cyber Speedway, which features Indy car virtual reality racing and Speed—The Ride.

As the sun sets, the entertainers come out, and the venues at the Sahara have played host to every big name to come through Las Vegas.

Dining

Dining at the Sahara is as legendary as the hotel itself. Of course, you have to go to the Sahara Buffet, one of the best meal deals in all of Vegas. Also, again, the racing contingent has a hangout at the NASCAR Café, complete with authentic NASCAR stock cars and the largest Pontiac Gran Prix stock car in the world, designed by racing legend Dale Earnhardt.

Other restaurants at the Sahara include The Grind Café, Paco's Bar & Grill, the Caravan Café, and the House of Lords.

Gambling

Happy and full of good food, now you can get in some betting action at the historic Sahara Casino. Many a gambler has won on a long shot or risked their last dollar here on casino favorites Blackjack, Craps, Keno, Slots, and more.

For card players, there’s also a Poker Room, and if you’re looking for a wager on the horses or, appropriately enough, NASCAR, there’s a 35-seat Race and Sports Book.

Personal & Business Events

If you’re looking for a place to hold an event—any event—the Sahara should be your first stop! Affordable, spacious, and outfitted with all the latest state-of-the-art equipment, the friendly staff at the Sahara can help you nail down the details to whatever you’ve got in mind, from a corporate meeting to a romantic wedding of your dreams.

Rates

Just moments from the Strip, the Sahara has been in the heart of Las Vegas action for over fifty years, and with all it’s got going on, this resort legend shows no signs of slowing down.

Lots of packages and deals are available, and rooms run from $43 to $220, depending on dates and room types.
