If you do not have a lot of money for a Las Vegas Strip hotel, Sahara's will work. I just got home from a 3-night stay there, and it was very pleasant.
Sahara's is an old classic hotel casino that is going through a rennaissance of sorts. This was my first time getting a comp'ed room there. Hotel guests are regular down to earth folks. Just hard working decent smucks who want a little fun but cannot affort to stay at a lavish hotel.
I think Sahara's have a lot of nice amenities such as:
*convenient entrance to the Monorail.
*many slots and table games.
*buffet, snack bars, restaurants and a 24 hour restaurant.
*across the street from a nice strip mall and McDonald's.
*clean rooms and professional maid service.
I only have two only complaints about Sahara's
#1- is the slots are way too tight. Its hard to win a bonus round!
#2- The coffee in the snack bar is waaaaaay too WEAK!!!
This was my 3rd time staying at Sahara's and I will stay at Sahara's again, with or without a comp'ed room.
I highly recommend Sahara's for cost conscious travelers.
I am very likely to return to the Sahara Hotel Casino
I would definitely recommend it to friends.
