The Sahara Hotel and Casino is getting new owners. California-based SBE Entertainment Group LLC and Stockbridge Real Estate Funds will acquire the property from Gordon Gaming Group for an undisclosed amount.
Once the transaction closes, SBE will manage the hotel and its food and beverage operations through its subsidiaries. Larry Woolf's Navegante Group will operate the casino business under a lease arrangement.
The new owners also plan to reposition the property once it takes control. Specifics are not available regarding this planned repositioning but SBE has said it will involve updating the property for "a new generation of travelers, while preserving its existing scale."

A Look Back: The Rise of Property Values in Las Vegas Valley from 2003 - 2006
Notice how the boom starts in 2003 at the edges of Las Vegas Valley, in places like Summerlin, Green Valley/Seven Hills, and Lake Las Vegas.
In 2004, everything is appreciating with Southern Highlands and Aliante showing big gains.
By 2005, the boom has subsided in the suburbs and moved to the older areas around Downtown Las Vegas and The Strip.
Finally, in 2006 prices have flattened out all over Las Vegas Valley.
2007 maybe more of the same before a upturn in 2008? Only time will tell. . .
Stabilization of Prices in 2006
Older areas around Downtown and The Strip catch up to suburbs.
All areas appreciating rapidly, especially the edges of the Valley.
