Shoppers wait for hours to get a piece of Sahara
By Lauren EmersonLAS VEGAS, Nevada -- With visions of mosaic glass in their heads, Las Vegas residents Andy and April Martello made one last bet at the Sahara.
As always, the odds favored the house.
The duo scored first place in line at the hotel-casino's liquidation sale with their 7 a.m. Thursday arrival. Three hours later, their wish to enter was granted, but they were denied their top desire, the S-shaped mosaic-glass doorknobs that once graced the hotel's front doors.
The knobs were sold out before the sale even began, snapped up by Las Vegas VIPs and former employees who were given an early pass.
"Being first in line didn't help in that regard," Andy said. "Ultimately, I can't complain. We had a great time."
Other shoppers might not have shared the Martellos' positive outlook.
The average wait to enter the sale -- in shade-free 100-degree-plus heat -- was three hours, said a Metropolitan Police Department officer on scene to prevent line jumping.
No more than 300 people were allowed in the building at any one time, with about 50 per hour allowed in.
Shoppers also faced a $10 admission charge and a 10 percent buyer's fee on each purchase.
Las Vegas native Zach Lerner wasn't impressed. He spent many nights playing $1 blackjack at the Sahara, so he and his friend, Chris Clifton, each bought a Sahara-logoed chair from their beloved table for $75.
He wasn't happy when he learned of the buyer's premium.
"The people who run this are absolutely terrible," Lerner said. "They did give out free water, though."
The outside line snaked from the Sahara's main entrance down to the valet area off Paradise Road, then down Paradise to just before the corner of Sahara Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard.
At about 1 p.m., after about two hours in line, former Sahara employee Darryl Clark wasn't sure he wanted to wait any longer. He worked at the hotel-casino for 11 years, and wanted to buy items for his wife from the House of Lords restaurant, where he was once the maitre d'.
"I didn't know it was going to be a three-hour wait," Clark grumbled.
More than 600,000 items such as dishes, posters, furniture, gaming equipment and kitchen tools from the 59-year-old Sahara, which closed May 16, are on the market. Liquidation is expected to take two months.
Shoppers on Thursday found that the casino floor was air-conditioned.

Features :
complete mattress support system-replace old frame & box spring Easy to assemble – in minutes – no tood required super stable – 12″ points of contact super strong – 100% steel construction (Anti-mite) Two sizes (Queen and King) in one productThe inventor was genius. I put this bed frame together with my elderly father and the only tool we chose was pliers to tighten the wing nuts as we put this together. It took us about 15 minutes. I love the fact you can use under bed storage boxes as it is high enough to do so. Very sturdy and I’m glad I bought this as a solution for a guest bedroom.
It has been a week since I set up. It’s really easy to set up and sturdy. We use a queen sized memory-foam mattress on this frame without a boxspring. I don’t see how you can go wrong with this frame. Also the beauty of this product is that I can use king size mattress too. It came with 7 to 8 steel bars to be used for king size. I love that. highly recommend this product to anyone…
I really love the idea of this product so i bought it, when i got it, it came very fast and was very exciting to get put together, I was only myself putting it together and it was very easy to figure out. it did have some wire sapports that were a bit bent and missing many sqrews if you were to attach to headboard, I did not need it for that and can get screws when the time comes to attach a headboard, but this would be a bummer if i wanted to have a headboard attached at this time. maybe i should of taken it back to get an undamaged frame but I had many family visiting and just did not have the time. I am sure if all was well it would be perfect and very sturdy.
