What's covered in your room rate and the resort fee
The room rate you see on SAHARA Las Vegas's site already includes the daily resort fee. The resort fee covers in-room and property Wi‑Fi, access to the Fitness Studio and in-season pool entry, two complimentary bottles of water, local/toll-free calls, airline boarding-pass printing, notary services, and a digital savings pass.
Resort-fee inclusions mean basic internet, fitness access, and pool admission are effectively bundled into the price — but many services on property are charged separately (see below).
- In-room & property Wi‑Fi (no device restrictions)
- Fitness center access (Blanca Tower Fitness Center 24/7; room-key access to Fitness Studio)
- In-season pool entry for registered guests
