A north Strip resort-casino will close its poker room in November, replacing its footprint on the casino floor with more slots.
Sahara resort-casino’s general manager Paul Hobson said the property will close its 7-table poker room on Nov. 16. In a Thursday statement, Hobson said the poker tables will be replaced with a new concept area for slot machines.
“When it debuts in mid-December, the enhanced offerings will include dedicated slot banks where players can be some of the first in Las Vegas to play the newest test games from top gaming content providers,” Hobson said in the statement. “More details about this latest SAHARA innovation will be announced soon.”
