Sahara Hotel & Casino is located on the famous Las Vegas Strip. Whether it's our new 75,000 sq ft casino or the most intense virtual reality experience on the planet, Sahara Speedworld, Sahara has what you're looking for. The Sahara has recently undergone a $100 million plus expansion/renovation, including newly appointed rooms decorated in a rich Moroccan motif. With the arrival of the NASCAR Cafe in early 2000, it has again secured its position as "Jewel of the Desert".

Newest Features at this resort include The Rat Pack is Back! and NASCAR Cafe Las Vegas.

The Sahara Hotel and Casino opened on the Las Vegas Strip in 1952. Featuring 1,720 recently remodeled guest rooms, a 95,000-square-foot casino, four restaurants and the new NASCAR Cafe, which includes the Las Vegas Cyber Speedway and state-of-the-art roller coaster SPEED—The Ride, the Sahara provides exceptional amenities at value rates. The Sahara offers premium live entertainment, also a great value with ticket prices at less than $35, with its newest production, "The Rat Pack is Back!" in the Congo Room and, beginning in May 2000, Steve Wyrick—World Class Magician, will headline the new 875-seat Sahara Theater.

"The Rat Pack is Back!" took over the legendary Congo Room at the Sahara Hotel and Casino with its premiere on Saturday, March 25.

The Rat Pack is Back! is a trip back in time to 1961, when savvy dames and swingin' cats were as much a part of Las Vegas culture as slot machines and table games. Entertainers were well-known for their witty banter as well as for musical stylings that were smooth as silk.

A group of talented performers recreate this legendary Las Vegas dynamic. Bobby Caldwell plays the leading role as the charismatic ringleader, accompanied by Rick Michel, Hiram Kasten and Tony Tillman. The performers' backgrounds in comedy, dance, celebrity impersonations and music make this production an authentic replication of Las Vegas' most celebrated era. All but one performer (Michel had made selected appearances) returns from The Rat Pack is Back!'s original debut at The Desert Inn in July 1999, where the show received numerous accolades from local and national media which included being named one of Las Vegas' top ten productions in 1999. Show times for "The Rat Pack is Back!" are 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with 8 p.m. shows on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. The show is dark on Mondays. Ticket prices start at $34.95 and are available at the Sahara Box Office, (702) 737-2515, among other locations.
