Episode Description

On this episode of MTM Vegas we take you to one of the most iconic names in Vegas. Sahara Las Vegas is 70 years old, but the property has had a wild ride the past 20 years. We recently took a tour with the property's GM to see how the transition back to Sahara has gone, what is new at the property, how they are going for something different and why it is probably way underrated. We also have exclusive news about a new hotel within a hotel concept, a new speakeasy & the Bazaar Meat replacement. Plus we discuss our biggest highlights, surprising takeaways and why Sahara may still be struggling.
