End might be near for former The Sahara Hotel building

The photograph above shows the current state of the legendary Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas. After the hotel, where Elvis stayed many times in the sixties, closed two years ago there were talks about renovating the hotel but still preserving the original building. Well, as the picture shows, those plans are probably off the table. The big neon sign is taken down, the roller coaster is gone and workers have begun their demolishion work.
