Final Hours of a Casino Legend by CitySpoon

It’s official today at 1:40pm Sahara closed it’s doors today. 20 minutes ahead of schedule. It’s a sad day when workers are hugging and saying their “goodbyes” and “good lucks.” The last guests checked out at noon. Sahara was also put on the map from the Rat Pack and Sinatra. It had so much nostalgia of Old Vegas. They even have a street named after it.
Man Vs Food had the Nascar Cafe with the 2 foot burrito. Adam takes on one of Sin City’s wildest food creations: The Big Badass Burrito at the NASCAR Cafe. This monster is loaded with beef, vegetables, nacho cheese, and topped with scoops of sour cream and guacamole.

I didn’t frequent the Sahara, but I remember being 10 years old and the old Sahara being my first trip to Vegas, that’s where my family and I stayed. My uncle would get wicked deals from it. My cousins and I would get quarters to play video games, and once in a while we snuck a quarter into a machine to gamble. Then we’d do the touristy walk around and eat thing. We would end up back at the room renting a movie till us kids passed out and the aunts, uncles and parents would sneak off to feed the Vegas economy.
Yes folks the Sahara is no longer open for business. The end.
