Default Re: First trip to Vegas: Stratosphere or Sahara?

Just stayed at the Sahara for three nights. I agree with most of the posts.

Poker room sucks. Only 2/4 and 4/8 limit (sometimes) and 1/2 NL (100-500max).

I did not try the 40+20 rebuy tourneys, but have seen other posts here and on AVP where they were recommended. They are at 11a, 7p, and 11p every day.

If you decide on Sahara, ask for a room in the Tangiers tower. It was more recently renovated and was quite acceptable for what I paid.

Buffet was average at best.

Have eaten at the Nascar Cafe before, and it was OK, but not on this last trip.

Monorail was right outside, although I had a car so that was not a factor.

Did not try the pool, although I did see that there were plenty of people in there.

In the end, I only ended up playing two sessions there and took the rest of my play elsewhere.
