| Usually cheap, some great points. |
| Haven't stayed at Sahara for a while, but have stayed several times in the past. Rooms are nothing fancy, but usually well priced. Be sure to note that they charge $4 a day - local phone calls and energy surcharge ($1 phone, $3 energy) - charged to you regardless of use - many 3rd party sites don't let you know this. Also, it is worth $10/night extra for "deluxe" rooms - more non smoking available in the Tangiers Tower, and you get to individually control the air/heat!!?? I have never stayed in other towers, but have noticed that most reviews with complaints are for the other towers.
They have a nice pool area, with cheap cabanas. The days of $1 blackjack are gone, but it doesn't seem to have hurt them. There is sometimes $3 limit blackjack, but watch out for tables with continuous shuffle machines!
The steakhouse is great, the Mexican restaurant varies, and the buffet is now overpriced since they have gone up again recently.
The Sahara is the northernmost shuttle stop for the Monorail - and it is more convenient than at most monorail stops.
If you are driving, they have two valet parking areas (strip and Paradise Rd) as well as a self park garage.
One of the best things about the Sahara is the Casbar lounge - with music and comedy, no cover, almost every night. Divas of Comedy is great. The show The Platters, The Coasters, and The Drifters is excellent.
The Sahara is a good choice for North Strip hotels if you can get it for a good rate. |
