Today, Sahara is still a favorite stomping ground for many who visit Las Vegas and enjoy the excitement of this hotel built in Vegas's early days of growth. Moroccan in style, the hotel features a spacious casino, the amazing Speed roller coaster, good food, and a number of entertaining variety shows and concerts for all ages.

Visitors can enjoy elegant dining in a lush setting at the House of Lords, taste the international flavors of the Sahara Buffet, watch stock car races while they dine at the Nascar Cafe, or visit Paco's for a little taste of South of the Border. A 5,000 square foot pool at the Sahara keeps the kids cool while 8 private cabanas shade the adults from the hot Las Vegas sun. Children love romping in the circular fountains and a poolside snack bar keeps them well-fed and watered.

Caravan Coffee Shop (24 hours) - The Caravan Coffee Shop serves as a relaxing place to come when you just need a break from all the excitement! Whether you're in need of some delicious coffee to help you stay awake on those late nights or a little something to satisfy those hunger pains, the coffee shop is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to serve you.

Sahara Buffet - This 900-seat buffet is located within a casual setting.

NASCAR Cafe - The new 75,000-square-foot NASCAR Cafe features exciting stock car racing entertainment along with an all-American menu. The NASCAR theme encases the entertainment complex. Giant projection television screens equipped with surround sound feature NASCAR racing, driver profiles and the latest NASCAR news.

SPEED - The Ride is a state-of-the-art roller coaster launched from inside the NASCAR Cafe entertainment complex in the Sahara Hotel and Casino. Designed by renowned attractions company, Premier Rides, SPEED is powered by Linear Induction Motors (LIM), utilizing electromagnetic force to accelerate the coaster to top speeds almost instantaneously.

SPEED slingshots out of its launch site and over its first hill. A steep drop follows as passengers travel 25 feet below the surface through an underground tunnel before propelling them back above the ground and then through a breathtaking loop. The coaster then accelerates from 35 mph to its fastest speed of 70 mph in just two seconds, as it zips through the Sahara's 192-foot-tall marquee before curving around the porte-cochere and up a steep incline - - stopping 224 feet above the ground. SPEED then carries passengers through the same exhilarating path in reverse.

Las Vegas Cyber Speedway - At the NASCAR Cafe in the Sahara Hotel and Casino, car-racing fans can turn their high-speed driving dreams into reality at the Cafe's 35,000-square-foot Las Vegas Cyber Speedway. Mounted on hydraulic bases, the cars, 7/8 the actual size of authentic stock cars and Indy cars, are equipped to provide the most realistic, simulated race car driving experience available. The simulators are outfitted with 10 adjustable performance parameters that drivers can customize to their own needs. The realistic sight, sound and motion is achieved by a 20-foot, wrap around screen which projects an authentic visual replica of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway or a road course down the Las Vegas Strip.
