"Sahara hotel is beautiful and more like a mini resort. You really could just stay there and have a great time (pool, casino, spa, eateries, restaurants, Starbucks, etc.). The hotel is at the top (northern end) of the Vegas strip but it’s literally within walking distance of at least 8 other nearby popular hotels and the “Fashion Show” shopping mall.
The Sahara has 3 different towers. We stayed in Marra Tower (with 2 queen size beds and Mountain View). Our room was lovely, very spacious, updated, and clean. There is a mini fridge, but there is no microwave or coffee pot in the rooms or anywhere in the hotel for guest to use. We had to get hot water from Starbucks or the small cafe.
Very Important info:
•Early check-in may be available for a $25 fee (if your reserved room type is ready) which is well worth it. Early check-in prevents you from waiting in extremely long check-in lines at 4:00 pm as we observed several large groups were always checking-in at that time.
•There’s a Walgreens directly on the corner of the hotel, it’s literally a 5 minute walk.
•There’s also a huge souvenir shop Bazaar that sells literally everything you could think for decent prices directly across from Walgreens.
