  • On my first trip to Vegas, years ago, I stayed at the Sahara. It was on its decline at that point, and during subsequent visits became a hotel-casino that I was certain to avoid. Even considering that, I was sad to see it close (another piece of old Vegas lost) and had a lot of trepidation about the re-opening as the SLS (or the sodium laurel sulfate, as I think of it). Can you open a swanky place on the North end of the Strip? I decided to check it out, thanks to cheap room rates ($43 plus the ubiquitous $25 resort fee) and quick access to the highway (so we could get out to the wilderness without having to brave Strip traffic). I don't think you can tell this used to be the Sahara unless you really knew the old property and pay a lot of attention to the layout. The SLS is modern and feels like a new place even though parts of the place date back to the 1950s. It amused me to read reviews where people talked about the SLS as a property that was "just built" - but really, it's promising that the place feels so new and not just like a refresh of the tired old Sahara. Maybe this will help bring new life to the North end of the Strip. It's on the Monorail, so it's connected to the rest of the Strip without being in the middle of everything. The restaurants all sound amazing, though we only tried the Griddle Cafe, but it was quite good (but beware - portions are INSANELY large). The room we got in the Story Tower was pretty crazy, and I strongly recommend checking YouTube for a video tour of one of these rooms. Mirror on the exposed concrete ceiling, bed and sofa frames that light up, sliding mirrored panels to reveal the bathroom, and bright yellow walls. I really liked the aesthetic and functionality of the reasonably small room, but I can see why some people are sort of taken aback by the boldness of everything. The room was clean and comfortable, and check-in and check-out were very efficient. They've got a really nice television system that includes all sorts of communication and information functionality. And the monkey-themed accents are awesome - I snapped a pic of every one I could find!
