Great job on the Sahara review, glad you found the property a nice place to stay. I thought you'd like it as I mentioned on your 3-tier rating review. Your Marra King was quite different than the several we've had. Ours have had the window above a table and two chairs (not behind the bed), a much longer desk area (without the off-kilter top), only one large LED surround mirror in the bedroom area, a long bench/ottoman at the end of the bed (not the white couch), and a small lit vanity area w/ shelves (not the wet bar area in your room). The bathroom was the only thing that was the same, and our beds have been quite comfortable, not overly firm, maybe yours was an anomaly?? Glad you liked the main pool area, they did a nice job w/ that. The overall condition of the property is quite upscale and glad you emphasized it's a higher end property than the cost would indicate.The gambling has been pretty good for us since my wife likes the newer slots and I play video poker at the bar-tops in the upper bar and the electronic craps & roulette are decent w/ low minimums. I find it funny they have the same live roulette minimums w/ the double zero & triple zero wheels, and both tables running at the same time w/ 3-5 players at each table instead of all of them playing the much better double zero game lol. One advantage about the unaffiliated slot club, they are generous w/ room comps and have decent gift giveaways such as hoodies and other cool gear. At any rate, appreciate all you do for us Vegas fans, keep up the great job and always look forward to your new content!

I keep saying time and time again that people are really missing out when they obsess over location, location, LOCATION when planning their Vegas trips. While Eldorado-era Caesars Entertainment continue to cut corners and costs to exploit visitors and emaciate them in terms of value (or lack thereof) and justify their anti-consumer policies by just pointing to the fact their centralized location raws them like moths to a flame.............others like Sahara, Rio and various downtown Las Vegas casinos are making decisive strides to maximizing value for their guests and thus enhanced experiences. Sahara is by far the most underrated Strip resort. I really think its prior partnership with the W in part explains why it has a lot of moxie and considerable tastes of luxury considering it's a budget resort. I just always enjoy my time there. 😊 I keep saying that I liken Sahara as the Elton John or Dolly Parton of the Strip. What do I mean by that exactly? Even though both Elton John and Dolly Parton are obviously past their commercial peaks as entertainers, they still remain highly culturally relevant and beloved to this day with the former achieving this via collecting another couple of Top Ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100 with some of his older songs being rearranged by DJ/producers so that they almost feel like brand new songs over these past several years.........and the latter still being covered frequently by artists across all genres of music and Parton even recording brand new vocals for their covers. So much like those two do take pride in their experience and where they're at in their lives, they still look and sound cool, fresh and youthful to younger generations of listeners and music fans.............and Sahara is much the same way where, despite being the second-oldest resort as far as original hotel site is concerned on the Strip (only behind Flamingo) and embracing its history and legacy.............it also looks and feels modern, somewhat elegant and youthful. 😊

We love Sahara and their comps are phenomenal. We haven't paid for a room at Sahara in probably 5 years. The room you stayed in was actually an older room that hasn't been renovated yet. The renovated rooms in the Marra tower are very nice and more on the boujee side. Granted, we typically are upgraded to the Alexandria tower now, but I'm never disappointed when we are put in one of the new Marra rooms. We love the quieter location, and easy access we can to other places down the strip with the monorail. We walk over to Fountainebleu, Resorts World or Wynn if we want to eat something different. Sometimes go eat at the top of the Strat. Sahara is definitely our favorite!!

Back in the 70's and early 80's, The Sahara was still one of the premier properties...the last one on the north end of the strip before you were in the hood area between the Sahara and downtown. I made a mistake and took a night time stroll thinking I'd walk to downtown to play blackjack at Binion's Horseshoe...as my fear grew, I saw a taxi driving by to get me to Binion's alive....Fremont was closed off to driving back then. The Sahara was neglected from the mid to late 80's on and I can't believe it was never imploded like so many other old legacy hotels and resorts. I'm glad it survived, at least by name and hopefully regaining it's old reputation.

You have to walk up and over, and through retail to get to a casino. You no longer see the beauty of lights and the hotels/ casinos. I could care less about the Walgreens, Starbucks, Ross, etc that they've built out front. Have those businesses, but build them into the hotel so that's not the view of the strip, it's just cluttered. There's no need for more mega resorts in the middle. Just renovate what's there, and build the new in the more open spots. I'm pleased they're finally doing that with the additions of Resorts World and Fountainebleu. They've really cleaned up that end of the strip. Once they fill in the small lot between Sahara and Fountainebleu (with the possible new basketball stadium/ casino), it'll boost it even more.

Great video Jordan! Good thing the self proclaimed mattress princess wasn't with you if that bed was that bad!! And those room walls.... it looks like a 3 year old went wild with a black magic marker! Not sure I could stay in that room for too many nights. 😂 lol

I loved the wallpaper. The bed? Not so much! Thanks for watching!

best value hotel on the strip IMO but the room you stayed in is weird. their other rooms look pretty normal
@ShowMeVegasАй бұрын
The pictures of the Alexandria King and the Blanca King definitely don’t look normal. They have a lot of room types, though.

Yeah, Jordan's room was different than the Marra King rooms we've had, ours had a much longer desk and the window wasn't behind the bed, along w/ other differences. Ours have been more of a traditional type setup, and more user friendly.

Sahara is in the worst location. It is worth paying more to stay somewhere better.

The monorail stop makes it pretty convenient.

The rooms with the weird wall art that appeals to drugged up cat ladies from LA, those are a holdover from the SLS remodel I believe, and they are terrible. The newer remodels are pretty good and the hotel is small but pretty good.

They have a LOT of different room types. To my knowledge this room was an SLS holdover and there aren’t a lot of this type left. The Alexandria tower has some WEIRD rooms and the Blanca king is a really odd layout. All in all, a mixed bag for sure.
