$1 Blackjack is Back Baby!

Las Vegas, Nev. – The Sahara Hotel & Casino is excited to bring back Las Vegas’ most popular casino promotion of years past – $1 minimum blackjack. But this time the bargain isn’t coming alone: Dollar Days at the Sahara include four fantastic offers including $1 beers (available at all casino bars 24/7), $1 shots (in a free souvenir glass), $1 hotdogs and of course $1 blackjack. One dollar minimum blackjack hasn’t seen the Las Vegas Strip in the last five years, and the last time it was featured at the Sahara.

“Our repeat gamblers and even first timers would still come in bright-eyed looking for the $1 tables they either once played at or had heard about,” says Bill Tremper, vice president of marketing and sales at the Sahara. “The Sahara was ‘famous’ for its cheap blackjack, and it’s exciting to bring back the energy and spirit that surrounds those tables that light up the entire casino.”

Sahara’s Speed the Ride Stopped April 6th due to a magnetic motor failure, Stranding 16 people for over an hour.

The riders were 15 feet in the air on a flat part of the track.  Firefighters were called around 3:30pm and a ladder truck was used to rescue the 16 people safely.  There were no injuries.

The riders said the cars slowed down before the loop and rolled backwards, came to rest and then were rescued. A short and sweet story!

Ron Garrett a Sahara spokes person said that the rides saftey features worked as expected.  This is the second failure in 8 years.
