    • Punters Queue For A Piece Of The Sahara

    The legendary Las Vegas venue, the Sahara Casino, has been closed for a few weeks now. We all knew it was coming and the last days saw a flurry of activity as tourists descended on the sixty year old casino for largely sentimental reasons. This, after all, was the pioneer of the modern Las Vegas entertainment, it was favoured hangout of Rat Pack characters such as Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra. Its restaurants were popular and its $1.00, 24 hour Blackjack tables were always buzzing.



    The writing was on the wall for some time for the Sahara as the focus of casino development in Vegas switched to the other end of the strip and the giant mega-casino resorts. The Sahara found itself surrounded by vacant lots and building sites and the end of an era was in sight.



    For residents of Las Vegas and from further afield, there has been one last opportunity to vist the casino and that is to buy a piece of history. Everything not nailed down (and some things that are) are being sold off. Furniture, Blackjack tables, you name it - it's available to buy and there's a budget for everyone.



    National Content Liquidators is the company organising the sell off and the list of items is extensive. A short list includes the contents of 1700 hotel rooms and suites, commercial kitchen equipment, theatre equipment and props, large numbers of flat screen TVs, chandeliers and various casino paraphernalia. The prices range from a few dollars to some thousands but if you're a serving or ex-soldier, a cop or a firefighter, you get an extra 10% discount.



    Some 600,000 items were available when the sell off started on the 16th June and thousands of people queued up for hours to grab a piece of history. Fifty people were allowed in at any one time and most enjoyed the experience, even if they left with no purchases. One Las Vegas resident who was a little unsure had bought a picture of The Beatles which was glued to the wall of The House of Lords restaurant. Glued so firmly in fact she had to call family members for help to remove it. As the guys in charge said - it's all bought as seen.
