I stayed at the Sahara from 4-9 March and after all the negative reviews I'd read, I was half expecting something resembling Legend of Hell House meets the Addams Family House but no, everything was very acceptable.
Check-in was handled efficiently after a short wait - a $10 'thank-you' to the nice receptionist meant I was offered a room with a view of the Strip in the Tangiers Tower - this also meant that the journey from reception to my room took less than 5 minutes by elevator (all 6 were operational).
The swimming pool/spa was well used but not too busy - open from 9 to 5 - plenty of sun loungers provided - and very clean rest rooms.
The other positives were:
Hardly any wait for the elevators
The A/C was quietly efficient
The room was a genuine non-smoking room - no evidence otherwise!
Room cleaned spotlessly every day by a hard-working friendly maid
Shower over the bath supplied instant hot water
All the staff I found very friendly - a special mention to the lady working in the Business Centre, who couldn't have been more helpful.
From the Casino to riding on the Monorail took under 5 minutes, unlike other Hotels on the Strip which take you on a scenic tour of their facilities!
Free entertainment - Broadband, a C&W band were playing when I stayed there - and very good they were too.
To summarise, the Sahara is 50+ years old but at least it has some character. It's also a lot quieter than the main Strip hotels, which means you can get on the slots and tables without any hassle, but it livened up considerably at NASCAR weekend. If you're on a budget, looking for a cheap place to stay which is clean, has a nice swimming pool, quiet with a more laid-back, relaxed atmosphere, you could do a lot worse than the Sahara.
