Walk in the footsteps of the original Rat Pack when you visit the Sahara Hotel and Casino at the north end of the famous Las Vegas Strip. Opened in 1952 as one of the first casinos on the Strip, the Sahara embodies classic glamor. In addition to the vast casino, the property offers a variety of activities and entertainment.
The Sahara Casino is made up of 85,000 square feet of slots, in addition to a wide array of table games such as Roulette, Blackjack, Texas Hold-Em, Spanish 21 and War. Players can also try their luck in the poker room. You can join Club Sahara for free and earn cash-back points, which you can redeem for discounted room rates, food, show tickets and merchandise.
The Sahara has hosted legendary performers including Dean Martin, Elvis Presley and the Beatles. While these days you're more likely to see an Elvis impersonator pulling the slots, the Sahara continues to offer top-performing singers, comedians and jazz combos. Enjoy musical shows and stand-up comedy in the Sahara Theater and Congo Room, then dance until dawn in the Casbar Theater Lounge. Shows run nightly.
For racing fans as well as those just curious about the sport, the Sahara is home to the NASCAR Cafe Las Vegas Entertainment Center. Jump in a stock-car simulator and feel like you're really on the racetrack as you watch a large wraparound movie screen. The Pit Pass Arcade offers more than 120 arcade games and is open 24 hours a day. Fulfill your need for speed on the roller-coaster Speed: The Ride. Go from 0 to 70 miles an hour in four seconds out of the starting gate and enjoy the ride twice: once going forward and once going in reverse.
Browse through a large selection of merchandise at the Sahara. You'll find everything from Vegas T-shirts to fine jewelry to premium liquor. When you want to put your feet up for a while, make a reservation at the Sahara's spa. The spa offers treatments including facials, massages, manicures and body wraps. Whether you've spent a long day at the poker tables or in the arcade, a relaxing spa session will hit the spot.
