I hold animosity towards Sahara because #1 it is a total dump and I play at classy casinos here in Vegas not dirty filthy dives with ripped carpets and disgusting smells that hit you when you enter the place and #2 because the current owners are closing the place to break the union workers.

Basically the place is a shithole and deserves to be closed.

Here is a thought.

If they close the place down, and as 1 post suggested "get rid of the union", then re-open without a union.

I wonder how many people will line up for a job they want and how many will be thankful to have a job and perform the job.
Unlike the exisiting employees - who obviously do not care at all.

Note to Readers:
Good employees can turn a business around - even non-union employees can do a good job. Yes I know it is hard to believe that a non-union worker can actually do a good job - hey they may even be educated and a hard worker and work extra hours - it can happen. I have faith in non union workers.

And how many of those places have 3-2 at $5 a hand?? I know Bellagio, Wynn, Venetian, Caesars, Mirage, Mandalay all don't! Just because you have a hatred towards Sahara doesn't mean everyone does. It's an old classic part of Vegas. A lot of people like old Vegas places and downtown which are far from "classy" places. The place may have fallen into bad ownership, but it's a classic and historic Vegas property. Do you hate most of downtown too because they're not "classy"? I am not even going to comment on the Union part.

The last 2 times I was at the Sahara, Feb 2010 and April 2010, all of the $5 and $10 BJ tables were 6:5. There was some 3:2, but they were $25. Granted, both of these were weekend nights, but the Sahara has no business whatsoever dealing 3:2 BJ on $5 and $10 tables, even on a Saturday night. On my last 2 trips, I have seen no reason to go to the Sahara, which is a shame, because I had some good times there in 2009.

They had $5 3:2 blackjack this January when I was there. Still had the $1 hot dogs, $1 beer, and $1 blackjack too. They also had a couple of the animated $1 single deck blackjack machines too. They had the tables on Saturday afternoon too before, but as you mentioned it may be different on weekend nights. I still looked at Sahara as one of the better places to gamble in the North part of the strip.
