Casino owner SBE Entertainment Group says it doesn't make financial sense to continue operating the aging casino.

The Sahara opened in 1952 and is 1 of the last "Strip" properties from Sin City's Rat Pack era. It was featured in 1960's "Ocean's Eleven" as 1 of 5 casinos robbed by a group of World War II veterans.

The rollercoaster shut down last Saturday; the hotel will shutter its doors May 16th.
