The Sahara hotel is a great budget hotel for New Year's Eve as well. Although prices do tend to go up when the holidays arrive, the prices here are likely to be quite a lot lower than most other Las Vegas hotels. The rooms at the Sahara are a bit on the small side, but revelers who plan to be out on the town until the wee hours should not mind that too much. The Sahara does have a pool for hotel guests, but the weather can be a bit cool for swimming in December, even in sunny Las Vegas.
