I visited the Sahara in 2005. The rooms were really clean, and most of the staff was pretty friendly. I cleaned up at the $5 black jack tables, but the dealers were rude as hell for the most part. I had one friendly dealer, but that was at the $25 table. I'm not that high of a roller, so I didn't stay at that table long. This site's review was correct in mentioning the oddness of a Nascar theme there. It doesn't really blend well with the Morrocan theme.The coolest thing about the hotel was the monorail station connected to it. That was awesome. $10 bucks for a 24 hour pass got me up and down the strip all night long. It's cheaper than staying on the south end, with easy access to the whole strip. You can't beat that. Whatever you do, don't walk from the Sahara to the Stratosphere at night unless you are looking to get mugged by a crackhead. Not a great neighborhood to say the least!

The Sahara used to be great. It was cheap, it had $1 and later $3 blackjack, and it was low profile. Last time we stayed there, the staff had become less friendly, the rooms were more run down, and we had the worst possible brunch in existence. Seriously, we couldn't even drink the free champagne, it was that bad. I would only suggest staying there as a last resort or if you really don't plan on being in your room too much.

this is old school vegas

Talk about "Old Vegas". Always $5.00 blackjack tables here, a wide variety of games, and a killer Wednesday blackjack tournament.

I like the blackjack here and that this place has to try harder because of its location. I've never felt like a king here, but the pit bosses and dealers make me feel like they're happy to have my business.The dinner buffet was average at best but it was $6.99 with a Sahara player's club card and there was roast beef and fried shrimp and drinks included, which felt like a pretty good deal. I would stay here one day. The only detractor is the location but the monorail is connected to it. Also, Speed: The Ride is worth it. Short ride but very fast and thrilling, especially when buzzed from downing Jack and Coke at the tables beforehand.

The Sahara is a nice midway point for folks like me who like to putter from the strip to downtown...and wander in the desert. Last time I stayed there the rooms were fine. Al I do is sleep in them anyway. And they had a functional balcony where you could watch the buzz of the strip. It seems a decent enough place.

The Sahara rooms are simple, inexpensive and clean. The casino is a little suspect in my opinion, although I do like the new roulette game that they have. The slots stink and the cocktail waitresses are hard to find, if they even exist. We visit the Sahara out of habit on our last day in Vegas.

Sixties style Vegas. Casino is dumpy and small. Rooms aren't too bad. Still has potential if the new owners do it right.

Sahara was the best and worst. March madness 08 was popping but no service due to new owners and just rude people working there. Room service was ok. We are the official chocolate cake and ice cream room service reviewers!

Used to be a favorite, but it went from a cool cheap option to just pretty gross. Last time I stayed there I realized would definitely be my last. Even the "non-smoking" rooms smell like gross old sweat and the sheets/beds are worse than a motel 8. The staff and service is as worn down as the rooms. The worst buffet I have ever had in my life (which I guess they closed down, thank goodness). If you want to go cheap, spend an extra 10 bucks and get a deal at the Luxor.
