SBE Entertainment takes over as owner of Sahara

REVIEW-JOURNAL

Los Angeles-based SBE Entertainment on Wednesday officially took over ownership of the 1,720-room Sahara, completing an estimated $300 million to $400 million purchase of the 55-year-old Strip resort.

SBE, which is partnering with San Francisco-based Stockbridge Real Estate Funds on the purchase, will operate the hotel and nongaming portions of the Sahara. The Navegante casino management group was approved last week by state gaming regulators to run the casino until SBE is licensed. No changes were expected in the property's operation in the interim.
