Everything must go!
That's the slogan as the owners of the 59-year-old Sahara plan a liquidation sale of all items inside the shuttered property.
Items for sale are the casino's poker room sign, chandeliers, fountains, slot stools, pool and patio furniture, stage lighting, and ice machines, among dozens of other items.
The two-month sale scheduled to begin June 16 is being organized by National Content Liquidators. The Springboro, Ohio-based firm ran liquidation sales for other hotels and casinos, among them the Sands Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City.
"We are expecting a huge turnout," said Meredith Lunsford, NCL's head of corporate marketing. "Some people may want to buy a piece of (Sahara) memorabilia, other items will be sold to commercial buyers, We typically get a lot of commercial buyers."
The National Content Liquidators have set up a website for the sale with pictures. (http://www.nclsales.com/liquidation-sales/current-sales-sahara-hotel-casino/) The firm is charging a $10 admission fee during the first four days of the sale

I liked 2 glass light fixtures- when I went to pay, they told me that those were NOT for sale- WHAAAAT?that is ridiculous!!
You can rip out the carpet and remove colums if you want to purchase them but you are not selling a light cover????
Probably the liquidators want to keep them.
what happened to the Sahara slot machines?
I agree the $10 entry fee is a total joke. This is unprecedented. No other casinos have ever charged for their auctions. Just a greedy assss move by National Content and the Sahara.
well dont enter, no one is holding a gun at you and force you to pay $10......... just dont go!
Man in Black , dont be so cheap
hell it is like going to 7 11 to buy smokes and them saying $10 before you can enter.
$10 admission fee? To buy stuff from them? I would love to bid on some items, but extorting me for another $10 is just wrong
Thank goodness they didn't hire that crappy company that did Stardust - Great American. They were horrible.
Blow it UP!
"On March 2, 2007, Sam Nazarian and Stockbridge Real Estate Group signed an agreement to purchase the Sahara. The new owner, Sam Nazarian, seemed to have no clue what he was doing. As the market crashed, he had no cushion for error, and rather than get funding to revive the Sahara, his people started shutting it down. They closed hotel towers, buffets, the coffee shop, and the Mexican restaurant. They closed shows and more amenities, and finally, they shuttered the whole place. Nazarian claims he will revive it as a hip nightclub-style casino. That's laughable. If he knew what he was doing, he would have kept it from closing. The Sahara is how a legend dies a slow, painful death of neglect".
