SAHARA Las Vegas

My fiancé and I planned a joint bachelor/bachelorette weekend in Las Vegas with 26 people and we chose the Sahara as our accommodation and meeting point for everyone. We love the hotel for amenities, cleanliness, and great customer service. This hotel is on the smaller end, which was great because it's easy to meet up and not get lost.

We stayed in a king suite in Alexandria tower, and it was lovely. Alexandria Tower is the most up-to-date, so try to book there if possible. We became Sahara insider reward members, and got a huge discount off of our stay. Our room was very clean and had a huge closet. The toilet was in a separate from the shower which was wonderful for getting ready. There were many mirrors too!

Our party did a morning swim at the Azilo ultra pool (21+), and there were free lounge chairs, a big bar, and a hot tub. We arrived around 10 AM, and there was plenty of room for everyone.

We tried UnoMás Taqueria for late night tacos, and drinks. I was excited that they had a vegan taco for our friends. I also got an alcoholic margarita Dole whip, which was to die for! We ate several breakfasts at Zephyr. It was pricey, but the food and ambiance was really good. We had the noodle den for dinner and it was incredible. We got truffle pork soup dumplings, which were highlight, as well as hand, pulled Dan Dan noodles and vegetable knife cut noodles. Everything was delicious and fresh.

This isn't the biggest casino floor, but our group had some fun playing the slots and roulette tables. A friend won $190 off of a $20 bet. We became player's rewards members and servers came around with drinks.

Lastly, a group of us had the best time at the Magic Mike show! It was incredible. There is a female emcee who explains that the show is about having a fun time with consent. It was extremely classy, and I highly recommend!

The parking garage is free, and valet is free here as well. It was so nice to valet our car in and out. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. This is the last stop on the monorail.

My only complaint is that there is not a coffee maker in the room, so you have to go downstairs to Starbucks to get coffee. But other than that everything was perfect! I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough!

Worst Hotel I have ever stayed in. Rooms were filthy, there was blood on our shower door. Staff was rude and unhelpful. So far down on the strip that if you step outside your basically off the strip.

Got a massage and that was a joke and a half. She left the room for 15 minutes to "find a towel" and did not complete my massage time and I was still charged the full amount.

Pools were small and jam packed, can't even sit in the pool huts when they arnt having a concert. They just sit there. Casino floor is small with broken down machines.

Only good thing about this place is the Mexican restaurant downstairs.

I enjoyed my stay at SAHARA this past weekend. The hotel and casino were clean and in good upkeep versus being rundown looking like how many places not on the main strip appear nowadays.

The Marra tower had several elevators and were speedy getting up/down to the 19th floor and hotel lobby. The view from room 31911 was really nice and I could see the Strat and Fremont clearly.

I didn't encounter any issues with loud neighbors nor issues with room temperatures while I was there, and the non-smoking room I had was indeed free of odors (much to my relief)!

The casino itself is somewhat smaller but offers multiple restaurants, bars, gambling tables, machines, and two pools--plenty of entertainment for the weekend!

I would definitely stay here again!

I lucked out when I found out I was staying at the SAHARA Las Vegas Hotel. I thought to myself...I'll be camping in the SAHARA Desert next. ;-)

I heard it was a fairly new hotel. When I checked in, I was pleased by the customer service right away and by the guest perks they had available during my stay. I instantly loved its luxurious vibe, bright lights, and attractive decor.

My room was stunning and looked clean. I'm a bathroom person so I couldn't wait to take a long hot shower after a long day with traveling but noticed that the water only can get warm to lukewarm. Later, I also discovered the walls were thin...I can hear my neighbors. Aside from a few shortcomings, there were so much to do at this hotel. You can go for a swim, see shows like Magic Mike, dance the night away at Latin Night on Fridays, gamble away at the casinos and eat/drink away at the restaurants/bars - everything is here...your one-stop-shop.

So in a nut shell, I enjoyed my stay at SAHARA and will go back.

FYI - It is located on the South Strip with access to the Monorail.

Decent hotel with some surprises!

My husband and I are Formula 1 fans and made plans to attend the Vegas Grand Prix. We wanted a hotel that was close to the race without being in the middle of the madness, and we refused to pay $800 a night. Sahara came through!

I had never stayed at this property so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised with almost everything. Valet was a breeze, the check in process was painless, and everyone we encountered was friendly. I also really liked that it was super quick to get from the front desk to our room. We didn't have to weave our way through a casino or trek a mile to the elevator.

We were given a room in the Alexandria Tower and it was, umm, interesting. It was clean and comfortable enough, but the walls had fabric hanging down in an effort to give the room a Roman type vibe. There was also a peekaboo shower which was unexpected. The door to the toilet/WC portion of the bathroom had a swing door that left quite a gap so there was zero privacy for whoever was in there.

We did feel safe. We were coming back to the hotel in the early morning hours and Security ensured we were registered guests before we could take the elevator. I appreciated this.

An unpleasant surprise was not being able to order room service. This was a shock! And the tight elevator security meant that no outside food delivery services could get to our room. We could meet the delivery driver in the lobby, or go to one of the restaurants and get our food to go. But no room service!!

One of the oldest hotels in Vegas! Initially opened in 1952 this hotel has changed names several times, from Sahara to SLS to W Las Vegas to SLS and finally back to its original name Sahara. Sahara has therefore a rich history...

While it is an older hotel-there have been several renovations along the way, and rooms are modern design, and so are the bathrooms! Shower in particular is large and modern - and that was well done. Few amenities that you see in higher end hotels such as integration of blind controls or light controls into the tablet will not be found here, but otherwise - hotel room is better than most non Vegas hotels! In particular - it is one of the best mattresses I slept in Vegas!!! This was well done!

Front staff is very kind and helpful. Customer service on the phone can be pain to deal with and they ought to fix this. Price wise it is on more affordable side, partially as it is on the northern part of the Las Vegas strip, partially as it has reputation as an older hotel.
Few interesting things: Sahara is the last stop on the monorail and really east access to monorail is a huge plus. I stayed at Sahara as I visited CES show at the Las Vegas Convention center and taking monorail was better than Uber or taxi!
All in all - I was pleased with room and hotel location as this is a solid hotel! Moderately priced, Sahara is a good value!

I'm nearly 40 years old and have been coming to vegas since turning 18. Now I'm a family man. My wife is at a conference next door and brought us along. She had to upgrade our room for about $200 extra a night which she did on the ride over. She spoke with DIEGO , whatever kind of supervisor he is. He provided both of us with his contact info in the event that his notes or whatever is questioned by his front desk staff. He probably knew that whatever he did would be questioned because it was. We contacted him within work hours and he never responded. Myself and my child had to wait until my wife left the conference to check in. Horrible and ridiculous experience. Not worth it. Go on strip and have a better customer experience for the price. If this place is continuing to operate like this it's only a matter of time that it goes under like it once did

One of my favorite hotels to stay when in Vegas.
Close to every local brewery and great restaurant off the strip.

Although I have never stayed here, I didn't know what a GEM this was. My room was fabulous! The room was clean and modern. It's posted at the very being of the Strip by Circus Circus. So it's definitely on the quieter side. The lobby was very busy after I got checked in. There is a small bar in the lobby, stores in the hotel and a Starbucks. Customer service was friendly. Ambiance is festive! It's Vegas baby! So if in the area, give it a try.

Heard they would do a tier match so stopped by to check them out again. Person at the rewards desk would perhaps be better in a position what was not in contact with the guests. I will say the person was mostly professional but not overly friendly. Rewards is a perfect place to get a new player excited about all your property has to order. Not what we experienced.

The tier match was uninspiring. At the Iconic lever there are a few things we might take advantage of but we were informed we had to play first and get rated by our host before taking advantage of the VIP items. No info on how much we would have to play and we decided to just keep our play with MGM and Caesar's.

So after all that, the property was nice and clean. Gaming floor was comfortable. Good ventilation, not really smoky. Not much luck at slots but held my own at craps. 60 minutes without a server so poking money into a machine and no tequila to ease the pain...yeah, moving on...

We are not too crazy about the north strip and with the ambiguous requirement of enough play to get our host to comp us, prob won't be back. I wouldn't recommend you stay away or anything, just not our deal...YMMV...
