TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

We've just come back from a 7 night break at the Sahara, Las Vegas. We had read some very negative reviews on trip advisor on the few weeks & month prior to going. We were slightly apprehensive about staying at the Sahara & booked 2 nights New York New York at the end of our trip because we were shocked by the negative reviews. This was our 6th trip & we have stayed south, centre & downtown so we know what to expect from Vegas. Firstly let me say that we could not fault this hotel. It was completely spotlessly clean, the staff were so friendly & helpful. Being a smaller property suited us as it was easy to navigate our way around. We got a complementary room upgrade without asking & the room was lovely, fresh & spotlessly clean. There was a great selection of slots, the pool was lovely & we had so much rewards from the "Infinity" rewards that Sahara have. We are not big gamblers but this property was very lucky for us & we enjoyed the gambling here very much. By night 1 we had cancelled our 2 nights at New York New York & never regretted it. The property is close to downtown Femont St & was around $10/12 for an Uber/Lift. We were walking distance to Arts district which was amazing & the Monorail was fantastic for getting us onto the strip & the Monorail service was very good. We purchased a 4 day ticket but we bought another 2 days. There is a bit of a walk from each hotel/casino Monorail stop but we didn't mind this at all The only negative comment we would make is that there is pool parties on a Friday & Saturday night & this is very loud. We were jetlagged on the Friday & tried to get an early night however, couldn't sleep till after 1am when it finished. You could argue the fact that no one in Las Vegas should be trying to sleep that early but we were really tired & had been out all day. What I would like to say is that the Saharas response was to refund us 2 nights resort fees which we were happy with. We ate at Chickies & Petes which was amazing & would have loved to have tried the Noodle den but ran out of time. Would we stay here again........ yes...... tomorrow if we could. Please don't listen to the bad reviews & try the Sahara for yourself. We are not fussy, hard to please people. Just a simple couple who love Las Vegas & want to have a great time in a clean, friendly hotel.

I chose this hotel as it's the only one I know that does not charge for parking. This alone was so worth it. Even though it's away from the main Strip area, you can still ride the monorail. The hotel itself was nice and clean. The check-in process was good, clerk was very helpful and accommodating. We were given an upper floor. Elevators were fast too. You have to use your room key card to access the floors. I got to the 29th floor and upon entering the room I immediately noticed how clean and modern it looked. Everything was in working condition (a/c, shower, tv, etc.). The room itself did not have a coffee maker. You have to go downstairs to buy one at Starbucks. They did not clean the room the next day even though the service requested was hung on the doorknob. Oh well. I had to request cleaner towels. It was okay as we are a neat/organized couple anyway. I did use the spa. I got a massage. However, upon entering the separate elevator, the guy watching/navigating that area was quite rude and I felt like he was a condescending individual policing the area. Did I say rude? Anyway, I told him I was going to the spa. The spa was very nice. Even though I was anxious from my interaction with the guy at the entrance, this place made me start relaxing. They gave me a robe and slippers and changed, took a shower, and locked my belongings. The massage therapist was great! He managed to relax me. Almost slept too. I would definitely do this again when I'm here next time. The pool was good. Decent enough to do laps. A lot of people, but that didn't bother me as much as they were not noisy. I also ate at their Italian restaurant that had impeccable staff that were friendly and helpful. Food came fast too, as I was going to catch a show within two hours. Overall, my stay was better than I had expected. Good job Sahara!

Third time staying in the Sahara. 1st time staying in the Alexandria tower. We were on 17th floor with great view of the Strat and downtown. Rooms are very large with large comfortable beds Bathroom is also spacious with large shower. Unfortunately our rooms were serviced 3 days out of the seven we stayed there. After complaining we got 2 days resort fees back which is expensive. We'd rather have had the room cleaned with fresh towels. Plenty of places to eat in the Hotel. Casino is not as big as others but sufficient for us croupiers we're very helpful at the craps tables. Pool is clean with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas although the sunbeds are probably the most uncomfortable we've ever had. Although it's at the end of the strip we used the monorail to get about and the Deuce bus stop is just outside the hotel for getting downtown. Hope they can sort out the few issues which won't stop us returning.

What an absolutely amazing stay at the Sahara! We will definitely be back. Hotel is north of the strip, which gets you out of the craziness but still has a great party theme. We stayed on the 25th floor, which had a designated elevator for us. Rooms were amazingly clean, smelled wonderful. Rooms were cleaned every day with new towels beds made, etc. I cannot say enough good things about this place.

We stayed in June last summer. The room during the day got hot. We booked thinking the kids could play in the pool. NOPE they close the pool down early instead of letting the family’s swim when it’s a little cooler. Everything else was ok. Rooms are a little out dated but clean and quiet. Just warm during to day.
