Sahara Hotel ghost and mob stories

The Sahara Hotel (originally opened in 1952 and later reopened under various owners as Sahara Las Vegas) has long been associated in local reporting and ghost-tour narratives with alleged hauntings and lore tied to its mid-century and mob-era history. Former employees and visitors have provided anecdotal accounts of unexplained sounds and sightings, which have been collected in regional media and paranormal-tour write-ups. These stories are treated as folklore and debated rather than established paranormal proof.
