“It feels good to debut our efforts under a name that is beloved by so many.” “We have been busy making changes to enhance the guest experience and create a resort that our guests and team members can all enjoy,” Sahara General Manager Paul Hobson said in a statement. The Meruelo Group named the property’s new casino lounge the Casbar Lounge, after the Sahara’s iconic live-music venue where Rat Pack members Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and other entertainers would hang out late at night and into the early morning hours in the 1960s. The slot machine areas and table game pits were given a new layout, and a high-end gaming area has opened. A bright and more modern atmosphere was created with a finished ceiling and new lighting. The Meruelo Group is spending $150 million to remodel the property and has completed several changes, including a renovation to the 60,000-sqaure-foot casino. “We know guests come to Las Vegas to create memories, and we plan to help them do just that in a beautifully curated, intimate resort experience with personalized services that make everyone feel special.” “The return of Sahara Las Vegas to the Strip is significant for the city,” Meruelo said in a statement. SLS signage was scraped away from the building’s exterior, and the much maligned 32-foot-tall “Sam by Starck” statue that stood at the Strip resort’s front entrance since 2014 was demolished Tuesday night.
