SLS Las Vegas Opens on the Las Vegas Strip
Formerly known as the Sahara Hotel, SLS Las Vegas has reopened their doors after a $415 million, 18-month remodel. The property was purchased in 2007 by SBE Entertainment and Stockbridge Real Estate Holdings and was officially closed in 2011 in anticipation of the remodel. The property was negatively impacted by the economic recession and was written off by investors. The raising of capital by JP Morgan and an EB-5 financing program which exchanges green cards for US investments were instrumental in bringing life to the project.
