las vegas sahara hotel what it's like here at this strip hotel casino in Vegas - by Jason

Sahara Hotel Las Vegas

The Morocco themed palace looking casino has a heavy Nascar theme thrown in also, including a super fast roller coaster that runs through the casino and out to the strip and back. This baby goes over 60 miles per hour and through a huge loop, then does it all again backwards. To top that the Las Vegas Cyber Speedway puts you behind the virtual-reality wheel of an Indianapolis 500 race car. I have never seen anyone that did not like it.

The Amazing Johnathan show is one wierd wild dark comedic freak show with lots of attitude. Don't take the lady of the house here if she isn't into loud, obnoxious and in your face rudeness with big smashing banging stunts.

I made a prediction the Sahara would get bought out back in April 2008 so lets see if I am right. The days of owning strip front property and not maximizing it's value are gone. The big money will be here soon and rescue her giving us all another fantastic easy to get to joint to ply our fun.
