If your looking for a good bargain then the Sahara is the place to play. This room is usually occupied by locals and beginners. The room has 11 tables albeit they are fairly old. This room could be considerably better than it is with just a little love and care from management.

They spread a $2/$4 and $3/$6 Limit game and the action goes around the clock.

The tournament schedule is as follows:

NL Hold’em Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr,Sa,Su 11AM $45+$16
NL Hold’em Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr,Sa,Su 11PM $45+$16
NL Hold’em Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr,Sa,Su 7:PM $45+$16

If you are new to tournament play then this is the place for you. Where else on the strip can you play for $60 bucks, actually $62, and gain valueable tournament experience with a decent structure? The dealers are mediocre at best. They make mistakes from time to time but nothing major and they have always been polite when I have played here. They do have a daily room rate for poker players. The rooms bread and butter are it’s tournaments. If you catch the 7p.m. tournament you can even get a free sandwich. Not a bad deal. The tourneys usually have around 60 - 80 players or so. If you can get over the manual shuffling then stop by and take a shot. It’s a small field and usually a pretty decent pay day.
