Las Vegas Sahara Hotel Room Rates

Sahara Hotel & Casino is one of the last vintage Las Vegas hotels in existence. Built in 1952 by Milton Prell, the Sahara gained recognition when construction and real estate developer Del Webb purchased the property in 1961. Since then the Sahara has experienced many addition and upgrades and is a  favorite of many Las Vegas tourists.


The Sahara Hotel & Casino is located on the SE corner of Las Vegas Blvd South & Sahara Ave. This is considered the northern part of the Las Vegas Strip.  There are 1720 guest rooms and suites. The Hotel Casino covers 85,000 square feet and is strategically located. Just behind the Sahara is the North Monorail Station, a easy walk to the Sahara. There is easy access to I-15 as Sahara Ave has on and off ramps to the interstate. Downtown Las Vegas is just 2 miles to the north, a simple cab or bus ride away.
Now what I really like about the Sahara is that it is family friendly. Sure it has the large modern casino, bars, buffets and all the other things you expect to find. However, the Sahara has family style attractions. There is a roller coaster call "Speed the Ride." This is an excellent roller coaster that features a 360 degree loop where you go forwards and backwards. There is also the Nascar Cafe and Entertainment Center. This themed restaurant is a tribute to the sport of Nascar. Next to the cafe is a cyber speedway where you can experience realistic racing action. There are video arcades and many other hand on action games. The prices for all this are very reasonable and there are many package specials available.
Also near the Sahara, across the street and a block or two south is Circus Circus Hotel & Casino.  This is another great family hotel. Here you find free circus acts, arcade games, carnival style games and more. There is also an indoor amusement park here call "The Adventuredome." This is one of best family attractions and value in Vegas. You can purchase an all day pass for $24.95 have access all 24 rides & Attractions.
So, you can see I really like the Sahara but now comes the best part. They offer the most affordable rates on the Las Vegas Strip.  I have seen rates as low as $27 per night Sunday through Thursday. On weekends you can get a room for under $100 a night. That is next to impossible to find on the strip. Don't worry about food the Sahara has 4 great restaurants and all expected amenites.
