At 13.2% Uemployment, Nevada loses over 1,000 Jobs as "The Sahara" Closes its Doors
The death knell was sounded in March, when its owners since 2007, SBE Entertainment, announced that the casino-hotel complex with its more than 1,050 staff was no longer a viable business.
"In a way it was a surprise, but in a way it wasn't," Michael McLendon, a supervisor in the casino's poker room -- already deserted ahead of Monday's final day -- told AFP.
"The way things were going, with the economy and all, we felt something was happening. We just didn't know what it was," he said. "I'm retiring. I'm done. There are not too many people out there looking for a 66 year-old anyway."
And with hard times hitting Vegas even harder than most US cities, the prospect of finding other jobs is not good.

This is exactly WHAT keeps the downfall going down..... More uncertainty, more unemp, waiting for the other shoe to drop, is not a climate that BUILDS anything, especially confidence in our country's ability or interest to handle this mess!
This nation is cheating all our citizens of their ability, their right to earn a livihood at any age/stage of their lives.

Damn, I loved the Sahara. It was one of the last old style Vegas casinos left.
