Sahara Hotel & Casino Reviews
Overall Impressions
4/5
Although this is about as old fashioned and scruffy a room as you will find in Vegas, the poker was most enjoyable. They run regularly scheduled good tournaments, and I came in second on my first try. If you don't need glitz, this is the place to enjoy a game of poker.Atmosphere
3/5
As pointed out above, the room looks like it has not been touched since Bugsy Siegel was around. It is a no smoking room, but I could smell smoke close to room, which kind of bothered me.Dealers

This one time that I played the dealer was very efficient. My fellow players told me that, as a group, they are quite good!Food and Drink

I do not drink, so this is not something that I pay attention to very closely, but I did notice a lot of activity with waitresses bringing drinks around.Wait Time/Overall Service

The tournament was run well, so I imagine that I can say that management is good. Again, this is my first time, but some of my table mates, who play here often, do so because they are treated well.Comps

The room is managed fairly well. They run the best low cost tourneys in town. For a total of $62 you get 5000 chips. Blinds start at 25/25 and go up every 20 minutes. These tourneys run at least three times daily and seem popular with locals. They are fairly soft, loose games.Atmosphere
2/5
The tables are worn and old. They are fairly crowded together. Although smoking isn't allowed, the room is fairly smokey.Dealers
4/5
The dealers do a pretty good job here, although some of them are crabby. There are few mistakes and they seem knowledgeable and quick for the most part.Food and Drink
2/5
The drink service is the worst of any poker room I've ever played in. The last time I was there, the waitress took my order and didn't come back to our table for an hour. When she came back, she just walked by with no drinks and announced she was going on dinner break.
When you do get drinks, it is just cheap brands of domestic beer and cheap booze. Also they have a rule that you cannot have more than one beer and/or drink per person at the same time - so if you order a beer and they actually get it to you before you finish the previous one, they take whats left in the previous one.Wait Time/Overall Service
4/5
I've only played tournaments here. Registration is run pretty well. They run at least three tourneys a day and they do it well.
