Although its theme is set on Northern Africa, Sahara Las Vegas never forgets what Vegas is all about: gaming and all-American-style entertainment.

Room description The resort offers around 1,700 nicely-priced guest rooms, newly renovated and adorned in Moroccan motifs. Still, amenities are poor considering the Strip's standards. Smoking and non-smoking rooms are available.
Standard room features:
- cable/satellite TV & pay movies
- air conditioning
- telephone & voice mail
- iron/ironing board
- hair dryer
The Casino is quite large (85,000 square feet). Added to classic gaming options there's a generous keno lounge and reel slots banks; also, the casino area features a race and sports book. Club Sahara is very rewarding for loyal players.
Click here for a trip, better than Vegas!! It's Omni Casino, and it's right online.
Dining choices are limited to casual, but this should not be a loss, as prices are very friendly and portions are generous. Try the virtual-race themed NASCAR Cafe, the favourite Mexican dishes at Paco's Hideaway, or taste the steak at House of Lords. If still undecided, the 900-seat Sahara Buffet should have some goodies for you.
