Iconic Sahara Casino The Sahara Las Vegas holds a special place in the history of the Las Vegas Strip. [Initially opened on October 7, 1952, with an African Sahara theme, it was the sixth resort to grace this iconic destination. From its glamorous heyday to its various transformations, the Sahara has seen it all, becoming a storied symbol of Las Vegas’ evolution over the decades. The Sahara's construction, amounting to $5 million, was a massive undertaking that required substantial financial backing. This financial support came from Del Webb and his top executive, L. C. Jacobson, who together held a 20-percent interest in the project. As the Sahara opened its doors in 1952, it quickly became a part of the vibrant tapestry that was the emerging Las Vegas Strip. The Sahara's golden age was marked by glitz and glamour, attracting a myriad of celebrities who added to its allure. Renowned performers like Jerry Lewis became frequent visitors, with Lewis famously noting the significant impact of the Sahara on the city's identity. The Sahara hosted some of the most iconic names in show business, making it a must-visit destination for tourists and locals alike. Acts like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and the Rat Pack graced its stages, making the casino a central hub for top-tier entertainment. The casino's lounges and showrooms buzzed with the energy of live performances and celebrity appearances, cementing its reputation as a premier entertainment venue. Not just limited to performers, the Sahara also became a playground for Hollywood's elite. Stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley were known to visit, adding to the venue's star-studded legacy. The casino's allure wasn't confined to its gaming tables; it extended to its glamorous nightlife, fine dining, and luxurious accommodations, making it a symbol of the high life in Las Vegas. In 2011, after nearly six decades of operation, the Sahara closed its doors. The closure was a poignant moment for many, marking the end of an era for one of Las Vegas’ most storied casinos. =========================================================== PLEASE READ REGARDING CONDITION AND BUSINESS BLAH BLAH BLAH: Casino chips and Vegas Vintage collectibles are my passion.

My home is Las Vegas and I enjoy learning the colorful history of this unique place! Please look closely at the photographs. Unless you see the words "stock photo," then the picture is of the item you will receive. When I am selling multiples of an item, it will be a photo of one of the items, and not necessarily the item you will receive, but will be a photo of a chip in the inventory. I guarantee you that you will receive a chip of the same or even better quality. I am a member of the Casino Collectibles Association (#R-9282) and am held to a high standard as a member. None of my chips have been professionally graded (except by me) but I am careful to take lots of pictures so you know exactly what you are getting. I use The Chip Rack condition rating system, and I price in accordance with the Chip Rack Price Guide, 22nd edition (SSS publishing and available on at: www.thechiprack.com) criteria, and also current market conditions. I try very hard to remain competitive with my prices. All my individual chips come in a protective coin case so there will be no damage. I have attempted to give accurate information regarding condition and to disclose any defects, stains, etc. I take plenty of pictures to give you an accurate idea of condition. Please look at the pictures! I typically take side 1, side 2, edge and in protective case pictures.
