Like a Las Vegas magic trick, the legendary Sahara hotel-casino reappeared on the Strip during a splashy renaming of the SLS resort Thursday evening. The Moroccan-themed hotel that opened in 1952. Hard Rock Lake Tahoe (formerly Sahara Tahoe, High Sierra, Horizon Lake Tahoe and Park Tahoe) is a hotel and casino located in Stateline, Nevada. Also previously known as Sahara Tahoe and High Sierra.
Brief Description: Among the first hotels on The Strip, the Sahara Hotel and Casino is undoubtedly a Las Vegas original. Positioned just two miles from the convention center, downtown, and the Fremont Street Experience, this venerable, modestly priced institution hails from the days of the Rat Pack, and still exudes a vintage mystique that is nostalgic to seasoned travelers and fascinating to younger generations.
Popular among families, this tourist-class hotel boasts many distinguished entertainment venues and impressive aesthetic features, but in general the hotel is applauded for its location near the Monorail. While adults capitalize on cocktails and low-minimum blackjack tables in the 80,000-square-foot casino, thrill seekers will find a home in the Cyber Speedway or aboard Speed, the hotel's 70-mph roller-coaster.
For an intimate evening of fine dining, the legendary House of Lords offers a seductive menu of steaks and seafood, in a baroque environment, where frescoes, jeweled lighting and custom furniture are commonplace. Also of interest, the 5,000-square-foot Moroccan themed pool and cabana were designed to resemble a desert oasis in the middle of the Sahara.
