Sahara Casino Las Vegas Room Sign

A metal sign indicating the direction of rooms on the 12th floor of the Sahara Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, one of only a few in private hands.

Perspex fronted metal sign with text and numbers revealing a detached brass coloured mounting. 400g and 30cm x 13cm. Black gold and blue.

The Sahara Hotel and Casino is a hotel casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada. It was in operation for 59 years from 1952 to 2011. The hotel had 1,720 guestrooms and suites with a casino covering more than 85,000 sq ft (7,900 m), and sits on 55 acres (22 ha) including the empty adjoining land. The hotel is the northernmost stop for the Las Vegas Monorail. The Sahara was the last remaining vintage “Rat Pack” casino-hotel, and anchored the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip. The porte-cochere entrance, topped by an onion-domeminaret, is designed to set the resort’s warm Moroccan flavor and hospitality for arriving guests.

Sam Nazarian’s SBE Entertainment Group, along with Stockbridge Real Estate Group, purchased the Sahara in 2007. The Sahara was closed on May 16, 2011, as it was no longer considered economically viable. In 2013, Nazarian began a complete renovation of the resort before reopening it as the SLS Las Vegas on August 23, 2014, as part of SBE’s chain of SLS hotels. SLS Las Vegas featured a chic and modern design, and was targeted at southern California residents.

The SLS experienced financial hardships after its opening, and Nazarian sold his stake to Stockbridge in 2015. One of the hotel towers was rebranded the following year as W Las Vegas, managed by Starwood as part of its W Hotels chain. The SLS was sold to Meruelo Group in 2018, and the W Las Vegas became part of the SLS again after the resort ended its relationship with Starwood. The SLS was renamed Sahara Las Vegas on August 29, 2019, as part of an ongoing renovation by Meruelo.

The floor sign was obtained at the National Content Liquidators Sale at the Sahara Hotel and Casino which was bittersweet—part voyeuristic garage sale, part retro encounter group.  From its founding in 1952 to its closing in 2011, the Sahara—its improbable onion-dome minarets cheerfully bobbing beneath the aqua sky—promised not only Moorish lanterns and tasseled leather poufs, but the wholesale cultural displacement that came to be synonymous with the city itself.
