The Sahara Hotel pool is fairly small, but is a nice relaxing environment, with comfortable poolside chairs, and a poolside bar. For those who require privacy by the pool, there are also cabanas for rent.

  Accommodation

The rooms in the Las Vegas Sahara Hotel are old and may appear slightly dated. However, they are cheaper than many other strip hotel rooms and the standard room is good value for those on a tight budget. For those with a larger budget, there are also luxury suites available.

Be aware that, on top of the room fee, there is a daily resort fee of approximately $6. Also, if you use the Internet, this will cost a further $12.99 per day.


  Location

The Las Vegas Sahara Hotel is at the North end of the Strip and so is a short bus or monorail ride from the central Hotels. However, the rooms are generally cheaper than in the hotels in the center of the strip and the hotel has its own monorail stop, thus enabling quick and easy transportation to the rest of the Las Vegas Strip.
