The Sahara Hotel and Casino is one of the last of the greats. The resort may
have traded its understated Rat Pack charm for fanciful Moroccan splendor, but
the hotel's innate elegance holds fast.
Tall, colorful towers announce this venerable resort, featured prominently
in the classic film "Ocean's 11." Upon entering, the hotel continues to please.
2,100 rooms provide maximum comfort at comfortable prices. A number of restaurants,
including Sahara Steakhouse, Paco's Bar and Grill and the mammoth
NASCAR Cafe, serve hungry visitors by the truckload. Several bars and
lounges, including the venerable Casbar Lounge, provide a warmrespite from the
bustling casino.
And there's much more to see and enjoy. Magician Steve Wyrick dazzles and
amazes in the Sahara Theater six nights a week. The Las Vegas Cyber Speedway
puts you behind the wheel of an Indy race car in a stunning virtual-reality sprint.
A unique roller coaster, Speed: The Ride, hurtles you through a 72-foot
loop at 70 mph, shoots you through the Sahara's marquee to the top of a 224-foot
tower, then repeats the process -- backward.
It may have grown in size and scope, but the Sahara still embraces the Vegas
myth. The proof is in "The Rat Pack is Back!", a cabaret show that brings the
old school to the new with high style. Classic Vegas lives at the Sahara -- why
don't you come live with it for a spell?
