Our family has stayed at the Sahara 3 times over the past 3 years. Our most recent stay was 7 nights. The Sahara is an older hotel and casino but we enjoy the classic atmosphere. Some rooms have been updated, but the one we stayed in was still stuck in the 70's - (maybe 60's) Our room was old but clean - the staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool is large and surrounded by palm trees. As far as the casino... it's classic Vegas... Our 10 year old daughter had a great time - the pool and restaurants are kid-friendly. The Sahara is the northern-most stop for the monorail (the best way to travel to other casinos on the strip) The monorail travels from the Sahara to the MGM Grand with about 6 stops along the way.
Note: We stayed in the Alexandria tower. If you stay in that tower, ask for a room with a balcony on the west side (it overlooks the pool and you can see part-way down the strip)

I was taking a shower and they turned the hot water without notifing anybody. Then the ice machine did not work on my floor and person at front desk told me to go up one floor and use that machine. That was for five nights. I would not recommend this hotel to any of my friends and family.

I was here for 5 nights in May 2009. I really liked my room, I was in a non-smoking on the 24th floor of Tangier Tower. Soda and ice machine on each floor, iron and ironing board and hair dryer. Nice TV with pay-per-view movies. THe player's card got me the BIG dinner buffet for $8.99. The casino was nice, several places to eat, lots of variety for gambling. The pool is nice and big, has a jacuzzi. I will stay here again. Across the street is a mini-mart and souvenier shop. THe bus to the strip and downtown stops close by.
