Yes, you would be crazy to check in for old sentimental reasons. I hate to break it to you but the 60 s was over 40 yrs ago and Vegas has moved on since then. Unfortunately the Sahara is not catching up to the times. Sahara s rating is about 2 1/2http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/las-vegas��
i have been there 2 times lately, its not fancy, but i found the rooms clean and decent.
sahara has closed its hotel rooms for the winter.
Stars, never heard Sahara earned any. Sentiment is great. Casino is about the same for past ten years or so. Rooms have been renovated after hotel/casino sold a couple of years ago. I bet you can do a VR online at their site
