Sahara Closing 2011?

I was at the Sahara the week before christmas on a thursday. Like another poster said it was empty in there, but I was playing 5 dollar blackjack on a 3:2 table.

I tried to access their website the last two days and it would not load. What does that tell you?

DonDiego thinks the diner has 90-minutes to ingest the B3 and avoid any fee. In addition to the free meal and roller-coaster ride(s) a photo of the successful contestant is placed on the Wall of Fame.
In the event a challenger fails to finish the tasty treat on time, the aforementioned photo would go on the Wall of Shame and the loser would win a pink “weenie” t-shirt.

I like their daily poker tournements, decent stack and a longer format, you can survive even if you are getting crap cards for the first 1.5 hours if you are patient enough.

Update here. The link on LVA was wrong. The website is Saharavegas.com. I went to book a room and the lastest you can book is July 30th.

So they will at least be open until then.

I went in acting like I was going to book in Aug, and it was going to take my reservation. I have to say, hate the thought of old Vegas going away.

Back in the news .

The Sahara Is Closing

We've been hearing rumblings through Las Vegas public relations channels that an announcement about the future of the Sahara will be released to the press tomorrow morning, Friday March 11, 2011.

The announcement, as we deduced two weeks ago, is that the property will be closed and put into mothballs until SBE entertainment feels that a renovation makes financial sense or they elect to sell.

Since Culinary Union agreements require 60 day advance notice of property closure/termination, we can peg the earliest date for closure of Sahara to take place on or around the 15th of May 2011, ending 59 years of legendary fun times.

Had to bring back the thread

We were going to go there tomorrow. We like to save chips from all the places that have closed over the years.
