Sahara Las Vegas

Marisa Passaro

My now husband and I came in and stayed on a Friday through Sunday for our wedding with our family. We got the Marra junior suite. The room was very nice, couch and bed were both very comfortable. Closets were good size (I wish there was taller hooks as I brought my wedding dress and could not hang it without it touching the ground). Shower was a good size, water pressure was sufficient but definitely not noteworthy. Our families came on Saturday, unfortunately with the line it took them over an hour to check into their room. Though we did not personally have this problem, it is definitely something to be mindful of given the time you plan on checking in. My only major complaint: on Saturday we utilized Creative Bridal Wear (major shout out) to pick up, steam, and return my dress and my husbands tux. We went outside and there happened to be a bellhop with a luggage cart, he asked us if we needed help. We of course said yes as my dress was large. We ended started getting our items out from the backseat of the woman’s car (we had 4 items in total all wrapped in dry cleaner plastic - my short dress, my veil, my husbands tux, and then my wedding gown) my gown was in the trunk as it was long. It felt like since he did not see my big dress, he was annoyed with the limited items we were using for the cart, and then handed the items back to my husband and walked away. Incredibly rude. It was never a necessary service - we’re capable of carrying our items, but it was rude that it was offered then taken back. Overall, the value for money, the nice rooms, and the ease of location with both the monorail and free parking definitely makes it easy to reccomend the Sahara to anyone coming to Vegas.

I’ve been a bit over Vegas lately. In the past I’d take 3 to 4 trips a year and have only taken one this year. Sahara was really pleasant. Never felt like too much of anything which is exactly what I wanted. Absolutely loved the pool area on Sunday, got a day bed to enjoy the F1 race and all the football games. The pool food was legitimately tasty and reasonably priced. My favorite place inside the Sahara had to be Chickie Pete though. Mainly because their weekday happy hour, hard to beat a 4.50 pint. Their smash burger was top notch as well. Our server was Maria G and she was really nice and helpful. Having the monorail there to get to the other end of the strip was nice but they need to have the escalator fix… can’t have fellas like me doing too many stairs after 8 beer and and a couple smash burgers. Can’t wait to go back, sooner than later I hope.

Lovely hotel, at northern end of strip so a bit quieter but great transport links (monorail station, deuce bus stop, taxi rank/rideshare pick up area). Busy on check in, we got upgrade to a nice room on Marra Tower 23rd floor. 4 bars and 4 or 5 eating places , pool but we didn't use and 2 gyms. Casino was quieter than others but ideal for us Favourite bar was Casbar, sitting watching the gamblers, but Tangiers nice and chilled too. Starbucks on site, free parking all a bonus. Rooms nice only downside is no hot drinks facility in room. Shower room nice, would have preferred larger refillable shower gels rather than the travel size ones, they did replenish but was a wastage of plastics in our opinion. Will love to visit again

This is by far the worst and dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed in, and I was treated in an extremely unfair and humiliating way. I sincerely hope that no one else will have to go through the pain and suffering that I experienced. I booked two nights and even paid extra to upgrade my room. After the first night, I woke up to find five red itchy rashes on my neck and underarm area. I also discovered what appeared to be insect eggshells on the bed. I took photos and videos of all these as evidence. Upon check-in, I had already noticed water stains on the bathroom door handle and yellow marks on the toilet lid, which I had to clean twice with disinfectant wipes. There were also black spots on the pillow that looked like insect droppings. I didn’t make a fuss at first, but in the end, my skin got infected. I filed a complaint with the hotel. Someone came to my room to take notes, asked me to send the photos by email, and said that a third party would come to inspect. I then went out and told the front desk I wanted to cancel the second night. I packed my belongings, handed over the key card, and left. The front desk promised that the manager would call me after his lunch break, but he never did. Later that evening, I received a call from someone who said that the inspection found “no problem” and that I could not get a refund for the second night. I asked to see the inspection report but was refused. I also asked for the name of the third-party inspection company, but that too was denied. I have every reason to believe that they made up the result — I don’t even know if any inspection was actually done. I was not asking for any compensation anymore, just to cancel the second night, but even that simple request was denied. I am deeply disappointed by how the hotel handled this situation. They clearly don’t care about their guests at all. I contacted Booking.com to help me defend my rights, and they reached out to the hotel on my behalf, but the hotel still refused to cancel the second night. I had no choice but to return to the hotel and collect my key card — only to find they gave me the exact same room, 31738. That was devastating. And the most absurd thing happened: at midnight, while I was taking a shower, someone suddenly opened the door — the hotel had sold my room to another guest! I couldn’t believe all of this was happening to me. I strongly urge everyone to avoid this hotel and not to go through the same terrible experience I did.

This is a beautiful hotel. The casino is fairly smaller than the others. The rooms were a nice size, I had double beds. I did have a stain on my comforter which I addressed but was not corrected. Check had a long waiting line (4 desk agents). I arrived on a Saturday and checked out on Tuesday. For those who got confused like me lol, the main lobby entrance is in the back. The front entrance is to the casino and restaurants. Valet is free & located in the front and back entrances. I would recommend this hotel to others. It’s located at the top (North End) of the strip, across from the STRAT.
