The Sahara has always been one of those casinos that meant something to me, and honestly, to a lot of people who grew up around Las Vegas. It opened back in 1952 and went through just about every phase you could imagine — the classic neon era, the Rat Pack years, the rough times, the full shutdown, the SLS experiment… and then somehow made its way back again.

In this video, I break down the entire history of the Sahara from the early days to the way it looks today. This place has seen so much change over the years, and the story behind it is honestly pretty wild. If you love old Vegas, vintage signs, or just want to know how a classic survives decades of ups and downs, this one’s for you.

If you enjoy these Vegas history videos, I’ve got a ton more on the way — old casinos, forgotten clubs, demolished spots, all of it. Feel free to subscribe if you want to follow along.
