A Look Back at Iconic Performances
A Journey Back
Step into a time machine and set the dial to the 1950s—a golden era when Las Vegas sparkled with glamour and allure. Amid the bright lights and vibrant energy of the Strip stood an icon: SAHARA. Since its grand opening in 1952, this legendary resort has been synonymous with luxury and entertainment, embodying everything that made Las Vegas the epicenter of fun.
Legendary Performances
SAHARA Las Vegas has been home for the world’s best entertainers – Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and the magnetic Marilyn Monroe. SAHARA’s Congo Room featured Marlene Dietrich’s cabaret act, accompanied by Burt Bacharach on piano. At the CASBAR Lounge, the room was alive with the swingin’ sounds of Louis Prima.
Comedy Gold
Comedy was king in the golden era. Don Rickles roasted his fans with incisive crowd work, but ultimately delivered a message of love and unity. Buddy Hackett worked “blue,” while George Carlin offered a cerebral take with topical and political musings. Husband and wife team Sonny and Cher entertained crowds with hit songs and witty banter. And Charo, with her dazzling flamenco guitar skills and signature “cuchi-cuchi,” captivated audiences at SAHARA throughout the 1970s.
