I've stayed at the Sahara my last three visits to Vegas. By no means do I think it is one of the better hotels on the Strip, but the price of the rooms are unbeatable. For the Sahara, the old saying "You get what you pay for" is certainly true. For about $35/night, you'll have a very standard (but dated) hotel room and casino that offers all the regular entertainment plus VERY cheap ($1) blackjack tables... probably the cheapest on the Strip. The monorail has a stop at the Sahara, which is very convenient for getting around seeing as the hotel is situated on the far northern end of the strip away from all the action. I would recommend spending an extra $10 or so a night to upgrade to a deluxe or premium room in either the Alexandria tower or the Tangiers tower over a standard room in the older Tunis tower. The casino itself is smaller than most of the new mega-hotels, but I've actually come to appreciate that as it is very easy to navigate. It is old and smells smoky. The staff I encountered (aside from those at the Player's Club desk) was very friendly and helpful. Room service was great, food was good and very affordable compared to most Vegas hotels. The pool is simple, nothing glamorous, but usually it's not crowded. Overall, if you are looking for glitz and style, than the Sahara is probably not the right fit for you. But, if you don't mind an older hotel that can offer all the basics + some extras at a very bargain price - then I definitely suggest you give it a try.

Do NOT stay at the Sahara! Customer Service is not a priority!

I booked the Sahara for my husband, daughter and me for one night while we waited for our flight home from a trip to the national parks. I took the opportunity to schedule dinner and a show as well. When we arrived the line to register was to the door! We waited in line for 60 minutes before we were able to register! We received no explanation and no apology. When I asked to see the manager I was told to wait over there, the manager would be right out. Yeah, right! One registration clerk spent over 45 minutes with a man who when solicited two women to take his window who were not next in line! The clerk did not object at all! By the way, we were 60 minutes late for our dinner reservations.

The registration process is the first impression a hotel makes on a customer. As a result, I will never stay at the Sahara and advise my friends and family to stay away as well.

We stayed at the Sahara in March as part of a package holiay and LA, grand Canyon and Las Veags. This hotel was at the top of the strip and it took about 20-30 mins to walk right into the middle of the strip. However I would use the metro and buy a long ticket as you really get your moneys worth. The rooms are ok ours was a basic room but we didn't go to vegas to stay in the hotel room! The pool is really nice and you have to go on the ride there which you can see whilst your sat by the pool. Would recommend this hotel and is great to get your head down in Vegas!

My sister and I went to Vegas for a quick 3 day trip. We didn't want to spend alot on a hotel but wanted a clean, safe place to stay. The Sahara was perfect for us. We arrived 2 hours before check-in but the friendly staff accomadated us and we were shown to our room immediately. The room did show some wear but it was clean, spacious and quiet. The beds were comfortable and the a/c worked great. We ate burgers in the bar and mine was one of the best I've ever eaten. The casino was much fun and the machines were much more friendly (Pay-Outs) than those on the strip. The Sahara is a ways up from the main action but with the monorail it is so easy to get around. If you are looking for a high luxury hotel with many fancy details, the Sahara probably is not for you. If you are like me and are looking for a clean, safe, friendly enviorment, than you will love the Sahara. I know that this is the only place I will stay when going to Vegas.
