The legendary Sahara Hotel & Casino,
recently acquired by SBE Entertainment Group and Stockbridge
Real Estate Funds, has undergone an array of short term

and the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. As of August 1st, SBE
assumed management of the hotel and its associated food and

generation of travelers, while preserving
its existing scale."
