What to pack for a stay at SAHARA Las Vegas
Pack ID and the credit card used to book, casual daytime clothes and swimwear for the seasonal outdoor pool, and smart-casual dinner outfits for restaurants like Maroon by Kwame Onwuachi. Bring chargers, a lightweight day bag for walking the north Strip, and any prescription medications — the resort is cashless and requires a 21+ guest to check in.

Essentials to bring
Always bring the government-issued photo ID and the credit card you used to book or a major card for incidentals — SAHARA Las Vegas requires a major credit card at check-in and a $50/day incidental authorization. The property operates cashless, so a card will be needed for most on-property charges.
Also pack any medicines, printed or mobile copies of reservations, and a form of contact for BookResorts agents (+1 (888) 605-1350) if you need help before arrival.
- Government-issued photo ID (check-in minimum age 21)
- Credit card used for booking (or another major card)
- Prescription medications and copies of prescriptions
- Booking confirmation and emergency contacts
| Item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Photo ID | Required for check-in (minimum age 21) |
| Major credit card | Authorized for room charges, resort fee and $50/day incidental deposit |
| Reservation confirmation | Speeds check-in and clarifies room/tower |
Clothing and footwear
Days on the north Strip and at the pool call for lightweight, breathable clothing in warm months; in cooler months bring a light jacket. Bring comfortable walking shoes if you plan to stroll to nearby attractions like the Las Vegas Festival Grounds or The Strat.
For evenings, several on-site restaurants list dress expectations — for example, Maroon by Kwame Onwuachi has a Smart Casual dress code. Pack one or two dressier outfits if you plan to dine at Balla Italian Soul or the hotel lounges.
- Casual daytime outfits and shorts/tees
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Smart-casual outfit for dinner (collared shirt, dress top, smart shoes)
- Light jacket for cooler evenings
| Season | Clothing tip |
|---|---|
| March–May & Sep–Nov | Layered outfits; comfortable shoes for walking |
| Jun–Aug | Lightweight, breathable clothes and sun protection |
| Dec–Feb | Warm layers and a jacket for evenings |
Pool, spa and beachwear
The Pool at SAHARA Las Vegas is seasonal (generally March–October) and hotel guests have free entry; bring swimwear and a beach towel if you prefer your own. Cabanas, daybeds and bungalows are bookable and the 21 & Older cabanas require valid government-issued ID at entry.
If you plan spa treatments at Amina Spa (Alexandria Tower, 2nd floor), pack flip-flops or easy footwear and a swimsuit if you’ll use pool or wet amenities. The spa is restricted to guests 18 and older; check current hours and availability before booking.
- Swimsuit and quick-dry cover-up
- Sunscreen and sunglasses
- Waterproof phone pouch or small dry bag
- ID if you expect to access 21+ cabanas
| Service | Notes |
|---|---|
| The Pool | Free entry for hotel guests; seasonal hours |
| Amina Spa | Guests 18+; appointments recommended; check spa hours |
| Cabanas/Daybeds | 21+ cabanas require ID; bookable during pool season |
Toiletries, bathroom items and what’s in-room
Guest rooms include a bathroom with standard amenities, and the resort provides two complimentary bottled waters as part of the resort fee. Still pack your usual toiletries, plus any specialty items you prefer — many guests bring a small toiletry kit for convenience.
If you have specific needs (medical creams, allergy medications, specialty razors), bring enough for the whole stay; the hotel has an on-site salon and spa but product availability may be limited.
- Travel-size shampoo, conditioner, soap (if you prefer brands)
- Toothbrush, toothpaste and razor
- Skincare, contact lens supplies or hearing-aid batteries as needed
- Spare feminine products or other personal-care items
| Item | Why bring it |
|---|---|
| Extra bottled water | Two are complimentary, but you may want more in the room |
| Prescription-only products | May not be sold on property |
| Favorite skin-care products | Hotel toiletries may differ from your regular brands |
Electronics, documents and getting around
Bring phone chargers, a portable battery bank, and any adapters you need. In-room and property-wide Wi‑Fi are included through the resort fee with no listed device restrictions, so you can plan to use mobile maps and booking apps.
If you’ll use local transport, note SAHARA has the northern Las Vegas Monorail station on property and access to the Vegas Loop; bring a small day bag for tickets, a Metro/Monorail pass if you use them, and a copy of directions for taxis or rideshares.
- Phone charger and portable battery
- Earbuds or headphones
- Monorail fare or pass information
- Printed directions for taxis/rideshares and address (2535 Las Vegas Blvd S)

Family, kids and special situations
