If I could give zero stars I would. I had a hotel credit so we decided to give this hotel a try, assuming it would be aligned quality-wise with its reputable parent hotel company (IHG). We were wrong. Our "upgraded" rooms featured two queen-size beds that visibly slumped on both sides nearest the nightstand. We informed the receptionist who said she could move our room, but it would be to a less-nice not "upgraded" room. (We can't imagine what that would be). In addition, I went to the gym on the morning of Day 2 and all of the treadmills (approx. six) were broken and did not work, except for one. The pools are a total joke. If you're looking for peace and serenity and to maybe swim a lap, these pools will only disappoint. The main pool is like a nightclub for day, while the rooftop at the Alexandria was packed with drunk people, leaving no room to swim, or even wade in the water. Then, here's the real clencher. We waited close to 40 minutes for an elevator one morning. The elevators then stopped working and my mother, who's 86, and I had to walk down nine flights of stairs. After making it downstairs which was not easy, we informed the receptionist, who could not promise the elevators would be fixed, so we decided to check out and go to the Bellagio. We asked for help assisting with our luggage, no bellhop came. So, I decided to carry all the luggage myself. Fortunately, the elevator did work when we were leaving. However, when we asked for bellhop and wheelchair assistance for my mom to go to the rideshare pickup, noone came. It doesn't stop there. I asked the bellhop attendant (a woman with long dark hair) where the Rideshare pickup was, and to confirm if it was outside the exit nearest where we were standing, and she purposefully gave us the wrong directions, steering us toward the furthest entrance, through the casinio, knowing my mom had an injured leg. Unbelievable poor customer service and awful hotel. Read all the reviews, especially the most recent/negative ones. They are accurate. I will add that the restaurant Balla on site is outstanding and is worth visiting the property only to experience the exceptional food there but avoid the hotel. …

Hotel's Favorite
We stayed for 4 nights at the refurbished Sahara Hotel. There were lots of positives, which includes: • The room rates and resort fees are reasonable compared to other hotels on the strip. Nothing in Vegas is particularly cheap, but if you are a value conscious traveler, this hotel represents good value for money. • Check in line was super quick (this may have been because we checked in quite late in the day and/or because of the time of year) • Our room (Marra Style King Size) was a really good size, with a nice walk-in shower and a big squishy bed (a little too soft for me but then I like a properly firm mattress). It was also immaculately cleaned. I had read a few reviews about some of the more eccentric stylings on some of the other room styles, so we stuck with the “business luxe” styling of the Marra which was pretty inoffensive and fitted out well. • Although at the northerly end of the strip the hotel was well connected being on the Monorail and the Deuce bus route, so it was reasonably easy to get around. •The hotel pool available to guests is located on the roof of the Alexandra Tower and has excellent views of the Stratosphere Hotel. Its on the small size so I can imagine its full in the summer, but on a sunny (but chilly) January day we had it pretty much to ourselves. • The Casino, like the hotel, is a good size, not so big as to bamboozle you but big enough. We didn’t really gamble but enjoyed watching others from the bar. • The Airport Shuttle bus recommended by the hotel was reasonably priced and they were super accommodating, despite our plane being 3½ hours delayed. Definitely book online before you travel, the details are on the Sahara website under travel. We didn’t have any complaints about our stay but I am passing on a few tips which definitely helped us make the most of our stay: • If you are British and as addicted to your morning cuppa as we are, then bring a travel kettle. The room does not have tea/coffee making facilities. Although there is a Starbucks in the hotel, it can get expensive shelling out for tea and coffee every morning. Due to the lower voltage in America our tiny kettle did take about 20 minutes to boil but it got there eventually and was so welcome when we were up at the crack of dawn with jetlag. • Stock up on room snacks and fully utilise the room fridge. Again, Vegas can be expensive, so make smart choices and cross the road to the Walgreens and stock up on drinks and snacks for your room. That side of the road is slightly dodgy but it’s a very short 2-minute walk from the hotel. • Monorail versus Bus (Deuce) – we mainly used the Monorail, its super quick and reasonably empty and this would be my recommendation of you are staying at the Sahara. For a 3-day unlimited pass it was $32 (cheaper online) so was another way of controlling cost. However, Sahara is the furthest it goes North and there are limited stops, annoyingly, most drop you off at the rear of some of the bigger hotels, which you then have to navigate yourself out of. We spent a frustrating 30 minutes trying to get out of the MGM Grand and vowed never to use that stop again. One day we used the Deuce bus, which has more flexibility as it goes to more places. We used it to go to the Welcome to Las Vegas sign in the South, all the way up to Fremont Street in the North in the evening. Its $8 for a 24-hour ticket of $20 for a 3 days pass, which again is good value. We still had time left on our 24 hours to use it the following morning to go and get an early breakfast so got our monies worth. However, the Deuce is sooooooooo slow, super busy (even in January) and some of the clientele is a little more colourful than those found on the monorail. • Finally, do your research. There are a number of YouTube bloggers who have excellent content on free and cheap things to do and places to eat in Vegas. We found Travel Ruby on YouTube to be one of the most helpful. We did splurge on a couple of treats, but we also kept the cost down by, for example, seeking out reasonable prices for breakfasts.…

Sahara is in a class of its own. Compared to other casino properties, Sahara feels like home. Starbucks right away in the morning and such incredible restaurants for every meal in between. Order the orange chicken from The Noodle Den. It is the best in the US. No lie. Best service. Roy is a gem! Thank you!

My only complaint was the room did have black out curtains. Everyone was very nice considering the crazy flow of guests during th weekend, so you better treat your employees well. Other than that we loved the place and will definitely stay again for EDC.

We arrived and 1 of 3 elevators were working in the Alexandria tower. We got to our room, turned down the AC from 75° to 70°. After 3 hours, temperature did not go down 1 degree. We called front desk AND texted for an engineer to come troubleshoot the issue (6:37pm). We had to leave for dinner reservation at 7:15pm and called front desk to make sure they would still come in to fix the AC if we were not here, they said ok, so we left the room. At this time, all the elevators were down. I had to walk down 12 flights of stairs in heels. We returned back to our hotel after dinner - back to 1 elevator working. We walk in our room and the AC panel was hanging off the wall. The AC filter was clearly obstructed with dust and debris. This filter was clearly never changed in months! We had to call front desk again for another engineer to come. He witnessed the filter and said yes, it has to be changed. He came back and changed it and within minutes we noticed the air change to cooler. So clearly whoever came in our room while we were at dinner just tampered with the AC panel, did nothing, and left. This is only our first night and this review has yet to await what will come of the elevator situation for the rest of the weekend. This is unacceptable! To have all 3 elevators broken and have to take the stairs down 12 flights in a Vegas hotel is insane.…

I really enjoyed everything that Sahara had to offer. II definitely recommend especially as a first visit to Vegas. I was upset that there was supposed to be an early check in but we were not checked in until after 6:30pm. We were also told we were not able to have access to our luggage once we gave it to luggage storage. Which posed a major inconvenience for us - it restricted us from utilizing the pool / changing into normal clothes after arriving at 6am. This has never happened to me at any hotel before. I did however want to thank Michel'le at the front desk for trying to make our stay more enjoyable. We were actually provided a voucher that allowed us to try the different restaurants at Sahara. The day club was one of my favorite parts of the experience due to the large TV projections during sports season. We could sit by the pool and watch some of our favorite basketball games. The suite itself was absolutely beautiful on the top floor. I highly recommend this hotel, but be weary of the time of year and if there are any events going on! It definitely is a hot spot. …
