Question

I'm thinking of staying there. I would like to know if that's a good idea or not.

Answer 1

This is a great site for Las Vegas info http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com go to "VEGAS INFO" hit on casinos, read the reviews of LVA members..I have nothing against the Sahara, it's just that you can do so much better..

You might check into the Orleans, it's one of my favorites..

Answer 2

Here's my review:

First, when you look for a hotel in Vegas consider this. All of the big newer hotels on the Strip are great. The most important things to consider are location, price, and in the summer you want to consider the hotel’s pool area. So, stay on the strip in the center of all of the hotel locations so that you can walk to see all of the hotels and casinos, and all of the free attractions. The best place to stay to do that is in one of the hotels on or nearest to Flamingo Rd & the Strip. At that corner is Caesars Palace, Bellagio, the Flamingo, Ballys, and the Paris hotels. I am not saying you need to stay in one of these but stay close to them. I do recommend the Flamingo and Monte Carlo hotels if you are looking for a good price, location and pool.

The next thing to consider in picking the BEST place is price. Rates go down in the summer (and again after Thanksgiving, until about mid-January (except new years eve when prices double)). So pick a place that has the best price for you. Caesars, Wynn, The Venetian, and Bellagio will cost top dollar all of the time (like $150 and up) per night during the summer. The Flamingo, Ballys Monte Carlo, and some others you can get into for around $100 (but most times for less) during the low seasons. Its also more expensive in all Vegas hotels on Friday and Saturday nights by $40 to $60 more. So to get a lower rate plan to go to Vegas on Sunday and stay through Thursday night.

In the summer you probably want to spend some time at the pool areas, which in Vegas are fabulous. All of the big hotels have great pool areas. But the Mandalay Bay, and Monte Carlo hotels have a wave pool and a lazy river for tubing or body floating. The MGM hotel has a huge lazy river and a water fall. The Flamingo has a water slide (not big but nice and refreshing) and also a water fall. The pools at Caesars and Bellagio are good because they have multiple pools and plenty of places to sit. Caesars even has a topless pool areas called the VENUS POOL.

I have stayed at Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, MGM, Monte Carlo, Bellagio, Caesars, the Rio, the Flamingo, Ballys, and Harrahs. But the BEST place for me when I go is who has the best price. Again, all of the Strip hotels are great. So shop the web sites, look at the hotel rate calendars, and go when the price is the lowest. That's the best place to stay on the Strip. You can probably get lower priced rooms at the Circus Circus, Sahara and Rivera on the north end of the Strip, the Tropicana on the south end, and also at the hotels on Fremont Street. The Tropicana is one of the older hotels that has not been renovated like many others. The other locations will place you a long way from the center of the strip action and you’ll have to take a bus or taxi to Strip action. In addition, if you need to run to the room for a little R&R, it’s a long ways.

Answer 3

The Sahara is a very old property that will be torn down soon.
Use your money to stay in a better place in a better location.
Try for the center of the strip and consider the Flamingo Hilton, Harrahs, the Monte Carlo or Ballys

Answer 4

I have found that tripadvisor.com is the best site out there for honest, upfront, photos and reviews!!! When I travel, I check that site first! Also, keep in mind that the Sahara is very old. Although I've never stayed there, from what I have observed, the property needs some major renovations.

Answer 5

Use the yahoo search engine to find reviews for the Sahara.

Answer 6

I've stayed there twice. It was a decent place to stay. Not to pricey and I enjoyed the huge buffet before my long drive home. The kids liked the Nascar stuff and the ride. It's at the end of the strip so you'll have to do some walking or get a cab to get to the middle of the action. Have fun!

Answer 7

it is all the way down from the strip if you have to walk to center it will take you half an hour,the best stay in the center like emperium hotel also not that expensive,or if you want more money to spend you can stay in Harris hotel,they have very good night life there,go enjoy and have fun.
