When the Sahara hotel and casino opened in 1952, its exotic African theme - from the famed Sahara camels perched outside to the Casbar Theatre Lounge and Congo Showroom inside - seemed right at home on the mostly barren desert landscape that was the Las Vegas Strip. While you'd be hard-pressed to find empty space on the Strip today, the Sahara underwent a $100 million renovation project in the mid-1990s that paid respect to the hotel's roots and paved the way for an entirely new audience. The new Congo Room features The Platters, Cornell Gunter's Coasters and Beary Hobb's Drifters performing their top hits from the 1950s and 1960s, and the hip new variety show in the Stardust Theatre,"Buck Wild". The Casbar Theatre Lounge offers live music nightly. Several watering holes serve as an oasis in the bustling, 80,000-square-foot casino with blackjack, keno, Pai Gow poker, a race and sports book, and more than 1,200 reel slots, video poker and keno machines. The return of the House of the Lords kept up with the tradition of legendary dining at the Sahara with such timeless favorites as New York Strip, Australian lobster tail and roast prime rib. The addition of the NASCAR Café, Las Vegas Cyber Speedway, and SPEED-The Ride brought with it a ration of racing fans. The NASCAR Café is home to the world's largest stock car, Carzilla, which serves as the centerpiece to the Carzilla Bar. The LV Cyber Speedway features 7/8th-scale stock cars and Indy cars mounted on hydraulic bases for a realistic simulated driving experience. SPEED-The Ride is launched from inside the café. In the heart of the property, we have a sparkling 5,000 square foot pool featuring 8 private cabanas, circular fountains, a gazebo-covered spa and a snack bar that offers tropical refreshments. The pool is open daily throughout the summer. The spa is open year round.
