From Sports Betting to Nascar, this is one hot Las Vegas Hotel Deal
May 16, 2008
A Las Vegas Hotel located on the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip, the Sahara Hotel & Casino is rich with history, nostalgia and class.
Among the first hotels on The Strip, this Vegas Hotel, recognizable by tall, colorful towers (featured in the film “Ocean’s 11″) is undoubtedly an original. The Sahara is located just two miles from the convention center, downtown, and the Fremont Street Experience.
Formerly, a popular gathering spot for legends like the Jack Benny and the Rat Pack, the Sahara Hotel & Casino to be a party spot for celebrities, including NASCAR greats like Richard and Kyle Petty.
If you’re into action, visit the casino at the Sahara featuring hundreds of traditional and multi-line slots and table games including Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, Mini Baccarat, Let It Ride, Big 6, 4 Card Poker, 3 Card Poker, Texas Hold-Em Bonus, War, Spanish 21 and Pai Gow. A non-smoking 16-table poker room features a bad beat jackpot, daily tournaments, and no limit games.
Whether you’re hungry for gourmet steak, Mexican fare, or want to visit the legendary buffet, the Sahara has it all. The NASCAR Cafe is a must for car racing fanatics, offering great food in a museum-like setting.
Need a little action outside of the slots and tables in the casino? Get behind the wheel of an Indy race car at the NASCAR Cafe Entertainment Center’s 35,000-square-foot Las Vegas Cyber Speedway with racing simulators. Take the family on the hottest thrill ride in Vegas, Speed - The Ride, a roller coaster that 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.
When it’s time to relax and enjoy some entertainment, the Sahara has some of the hottest entertainment acts performing on the stage of the Congo Room, from the ward-winning Elvis tribute artist Trent Carlini, starring in The Musical History of the King to Fab Four Mania and Amazing Johnathan.
With it’s 1,720 newly renovated rooms at comfortable prices and 5,000-sq ft pool, action packed casino and world class entertainment, the Sahara Hotel & Casino is the best Las Vegas hotel deal, bar none.
