LAS VEGAS – SLS Las Vegas has broken ground at the site of the former Sahara Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. The Sahara, which was shuttered in 2011, will receive a $415-million makeover before reopening as the 1,600-room SLS Las Vegas hotel-casino in fall 2014. The Bazaar by José Andrés, Katsuya by Starck, The Sayers Club and Shelter nightclub have already signed on at the new resort, as has Fred Segal, which will operate a 10,000-square-foot retail outlet on property. SLS Las Vegas is owned by SBE Entertainment Group LLC and its equity partner, Stockbridge Capital Group.
