The Sahara Las Vegas

Las Vegas hotels come in all shapes and sizes, and they seem to change those shapes and sizes yearly. One of the few constants on the strip is a Vegas hotel located at the north end of the Strip. This hotel is celebrating it’s 55^th year of existence which is equivalent to the life span of about 5 hotels in Las Vegas. It is The Sahara.

The Sahara has seen so many highs and lows that it would take 50 posts to cover them all. Some of the notables though are: Being the setting for the original “Ocean’s eleven” film, hosting the Beatles and of course Dean Martin.

I have traveled to Las Vegas many times and I have to admit the location all the way at the north end of the strip has, in the past, been a bit of a deterrent. Not anymore. Thanks to one of the hottest thrill rides to ever be created. Speed The Ride has quickly become one of the greatest rides you will ever experience. Don’t know what I am talking about? To be honest words don’t do it justice. So here is a little youtube video for you.

If you are looking for a las Vegas hotel deal the Sahara is offering special rates for it’s 55th anniversary. Originally I probably would not have stayed at this las Vegas Hotel as it is a little bit too far to walk if you want to visit the main part of the Strip. But, now with the monorail offering service all over the Strip it is back on my radar. As opposed to some of the newer hotels the rate here are quite reasonable and the hotel offers some very nice food amenities, The NASCAR Car is a personal favourite.

 

So, next the time you book a trip to Sin City don’t exclude any of the hotels. You can quite often save hundreds of dollars on room rates alone. One last word of advice though, you may want to know how to get around the city if you are staying a little further out.
