Sahara Las Vegas - historic Strip resort

The Sahara originally opened on the Las Vegas Strip in 1952 and operated for decades as one of the Strip's iconic resorts. The property closed in 2011 and was redeveloped and reopened as Sahara Las Vegas in 2014, continuing the site's role in Strip resort culture with updated entertainment and hotel amenities. The Sahara's history and redevelopment illustrate the Strip's pattern of reinvention and themed-resort evolution.
