Sahara Hotel and Casino
back to Las Vegas activities
Moroccan inspired space and delights and preserver of the Ratpack’s heydays, The Sahara Hotel and Casino offers lounge acts featuring Sahara camels inside its onion-domed structure.
The last of the Rat Pack resorts, Sahara Hotel and Casino has a permanent lineup of shows that feature The Platters, Cornell Gunter's Coasters and Beary Hobb's Drifters, who perform their top hits from the 1950s and 1960s inside the Congo Room. African-themed and exotic, it was chosen as the setting for the original Ocean’s Eleven film and has welcomed the likes of The Beattles, Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Presley through its porte-cochere entrance. Today, it continues to offer classic Vegas at its best, to be experienced at the Casbar Theater and Nascar Café. The Sahara also boasts of an amazing roller-coaster ride called Speed-The Ride, that launches riders from the hotel, spins them in a circle, and goes straight up a 23-storey tower at a face-flattening speed of 70mph. The screaming can be deafening. Another attraction is the realistic simulation of race-car driving at the LV Cyber Speedway.
How to get thereBy bus: 301, DEUCE, Sam’s Town bus. By shuttle: at the Fashion Show Mall and Tropicana. By monorail, taxi, or trolley.
