Sahara Hotel and Casino - Hotel Reviews from across the web
No title - expert review Stay here only if you nail down an amazingly good deal (rates can be among the lowest of major casinos in this part of town), or if there aren't many vacancies elsewhere on the Strip. Rooms show their age, but a monorail stop makes them a convenient dormitory for visiting more exciting attractions. ... fodors.com
No title - expert review One of the few venerable old casino hotels still standing in Vegas (it's come a long way since it opened in 1952 on the site of the old Club Bingo), how you now view the Sahara may simply depend on which direction the sun is shining. It's been a few years since a spiffy renovation really pulled in s... frommers.com

Good Value for the Money - user review I have stayed @ the Sahara 3 times over the past several years. Everyone should upgrade to the newer tower ($10 per night). The rooms are satisfactoy and comparable to a Holiday Inn. Older room towers are dingy and in need of repair. Remember you get what you pay for. I found staff polite and courti... lasvegas.citysearch.com
Uh no... - user review Me and my friend stayed here September of 2005 thinking we'd save money. Never again will I stay at this dump. From the rooms to the halls, everything was trapped in the 70's. The check in line was wrapped down the hall, some of the staff were rude and impatient. Someone from another room left food ... lasvegas.citysearch.com
Oldie but goodie - user review The Sahara is an old school casino, but it's still fun today. For the cheap gambler, there's more $1 minimum blackjack here than anywhere else I've found in Vegas. Best time to hit the buffet is in the morning on the weekend. Same price, but they offer... lasvegas.citysearch.com
Sahara is what it is - user review The Sahara is an older casino with odler rooms trying hard to compete with the others without all the bells and whistles. That said, I stayed there for the Maximum 10 days and loved the convenience of the Monorail, the price of the room , the friendly atmosphere, the pool.The pool in my opinion is b... lasvegas.citysearch.com
Older but Comfortable - user review The Sahara was my first spot to stay in Vegas. I will say that the first thing that impressed me right from the start was the friendliness of the front desk staff. I stayed there again a few months ago and they were still just as friendly. I would say they genuinely excel in customer service. They r... lasvegas.citysearch.com
Great Old Vegas feel - user review This is one of the few remaining throwbacks from the R t (rhymes with cat, this is apparently a censored word on CitySearch)Pack/Sin City era of Las Vegas, from before the family crowd ruined most of the town and turned it into Disney fied theme park. When you walk into the rooms, you really start t... lasvegas.citysearch.com

older but ok - user review You gotta go on Speed the roller coaster ride. I hate roller coasters, but this one I enjoyed so much I did it twice. They had $1.00 black jack tables and I know it is one of the older ones, but it's not so bad. There's not much in the way of entertaining shows there, but it's ok to hang out in for ... lasvegas.citysearch.com
A reasonably priced place to stay - user review I just recently returned from a trip to Las Vegas. This was my fourth time, but it ended up being the best experience to date. We stayed at the Sahara, which is one of the older hotel/ casinos at the north end of the Strip. Sure it's not as fancy as the new mega themed resorts, but it more than met ... realtravel.com
THIS CASINO HAS A GREAT TABLE I NEVER LOSE AT! - user review After years of losing money in Vegas, I finally found a casino that has a table I can't lose at. The Sahara has a great Buffet table and I have yet to leave it with less than I had when I sat down. Except for room in... epinions.com

Sahara just isn´t my cup of tea.. - user review I have gone to Vegas over 7 times now. On one trip we stayed at Sahara, I believe it was in 1992. The pros of the hotel were: Clean rooms. Friendly staff. (In all fairness, I have never had poor or rude... epinions.com

The ultimate no frills casino - user review I recently stayed at The Sahara because I was in Vegas making plans to relocate there. I am giving this 3 stars because the price is so low. If I were not taking price into consideration, this would be a 2 star property. This ... epinions.com
Looking for a budget hotel? Look no further! - user review If you like low priced accommodations and a clean, no frills room, you just might want to plop yourself in this desert.

Budget all the way - user review Sahara is a good hotel for those with a budget. There is not much for those looking for a luxurious experience. The decor is a Moroccan theme and although it has undergone some renovation in the past couple years the... epinions.com

Complete waste of time and money.... - user review Filthy, trashy and run down would be compliments. Hotel only 1/3 full according to maintenance(which we got to know pretty well in 4 days), but yet could not give us another room.

Great place to stay for the price - user review I have stayed at many hotels and you always get what you pay for. I have stayed at the Sahara many times and will always go back because of the low cost for the rooms. I hardly spend any time in my room and just use it as a place to crash. They are not top end but they are always clean. If I was bri... expedia.com
Good value for the price. - user review I have stayed at the Sahara several times over the years and I keep going back. It is hard to beat for the price. The monorail is right at the back door. You can get to the convention center in 2 stops. It is not the fanciest motel and probably not the cleanest, but it is the best for the price that... expedia.com
Good value for your money - user review If you go for a honeymoon or a romantic evening and stuff I'll recomend some other place, but if what you need is a place to crash just to enjoy Vegas this is a great place to stay. Good return for your money, yes is at the north end of the strip, but you can use the Deuce and go where ever you want... expedia.com

Not Impressed - user review My boyfriend and I went for halloween weekend. The minute we stepped foot in the hallway it was like swimming in an ashtray pool. I had requested non smoking and they were all booked so the first night we got stuck in the stinkiest room I have ever been in. I woke up a couple of times because the sm... expedia.com
Loved it - user review My cousin, two of my co workers and myself stayed in this hotel from November 27 December 5 2006. We loved it, we had two rooms. Although it's a ways from the strip, the deuces bus and the monorail is a short ride away from all the action. We enjoyed our stay immensly. the price is exceptionally rea... expedia.com
Great place to stay for the money. - user review Nothing fancy, but its all we needed since we dont spend a lot of time in the room. It was great to have the monorail right there. Has all the casino games, with low limits. Good service at both the bar and while playing games. The only complaint is the buffet food was not very good. I would stay ag... expedia.com
Better Places for close to the same price - user review Our stay at the Sahara was far from hospitable. This was not our first stay in Vegas, and we've experienced stays in quite a few hotels, and this one left much to be desired. Typically, we visit Vegas in the summer, but this was a winter trip to participate in the New Las Vegas Marathon. We wanted a... expedia.com
Don’t go here - user review Probably this is very important to know this before booking the hotel . Only 30% of the rooms are Non Smoking , so unless you are cheking in very early you will most likely be in a Smoking room (It doesnt matter if you have requested a non smoking room as there is no seperate reservation for that ).... expedia.com
Not bad, but far from the magic - user review Saved a bit of money staying here, but it wasn't really worth it. The action's all in the middle of the strip; I would stay there next time. The Sahara is at the northern end of the strip, where they're trying to develop new casinos and stuff. So, the area does seem pretty ghetto. The pool was kinda... expedia.com
Nightmare, never again - user review Stinking room, 18th century elevators with no maintenance at all, non working A/C, dammaged and stained carpet, dirty bads, If you came here you're looking for problems and a headache.

Will not be staying there again - user review The only good thing about this hotel was the price, but i guess you get what you pay for. The rooms were clean and pretty comfortable but that was about it. First off the hotel is all the way at the north end of the strip so you will have to take a taxi or the tram to get to the action, that can get... expedia.com
Just Okay - user review This Hotel is just Ok, it is not one of the best nor the worst. It seems dark and that makes it feel very outdated. It has a lot class and tradition, but needs a little TLC. Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks.If saving a few bucks is your goal... expedia.com
Not a 3 star hotel. 2 would be a stretch. - user review This hotel is obviously heading for the wrecking ball. Elevators don't work half the time and I waited 10 minutes for one on the 20th floor twice. Rooms are foul smelling, air conditioning doesn't work. Ice machine on my floor and the one below didn't work. Called room service well before closing an... expedia.com
Loved my stay - user review This hotel was better than expected. The food at the Caravan Cafe is terrific. I would stay here again.

You get what you pay for!!!!!!!!!! - user review We checked in and were told that we need to pay more money for the energy surcharge. I understand, they need to get there $. We get to the elevator lobby and wait 20 minutes or so. We found out the next day from a maid,that only 1 of the 3 elevators was working all of the time,one about 20% of the t... expedia.com
Would Recommend Hotel - user review We just got back on 28mar and spend 3 nights in hotels.

Bad First Impressions - user review For our first time in Vegas, this hotel left a bad impression on us. The hotel is large and like a maze. The fact that you have to walk through the lobby and past the slimeshare people EVERY time you enter the pool area or casino is annoying. The entire place smelled stale like an old bar with ciger... fodors.com
If you like blood on the rooms walls, this is the place for you!! - user review I just returned from Vegas and have made it my mission to post this on every travel site I can. I know the complaint letter I sent to the Sahara will probably get tossed in the trash unopened, so this is my way of (hopefully!!) saving others from this rotten hotel. We were in town for a wedding at t... fodors.com
Great prices but little else! - user review I should have expected what I got when I found the prices to be so much lower than the rest of the strip. For one thing, most of the strip has moved far South of this hotel so don't expect anything within walking distance other than a hotel linking monorail which can get a bit pricy. The room itself... fodors.com
Great Place To Hangout (if you are a gangbanger) - user review If you don't bathe, wear facial studs and/or enjoy hanging with criminals, this is your place!
