February Feasts and Big Game Blowouts
SAHARA Las Vegas knows how to throw a party, and February‘s lineup proves they’re not messing around. With the big game landing on Sunday, February 8, and Valentine's Day following right behind, the property is rolling out everything from $250-per-person viewing packages to couples spa treatments that actually sound worth the splurge.
Chickie‘s & Pete’s is going all-in for game day with their 8,000-square-foot sports bar experience. For $250 per person (plus tax and gratuity), you get guaranteed seating surrounded by 50 giant screens, plus that same amount back as food and beverage credit. That‘s smart pricing - you’re essentially pre-paying for your tab and getting the premium experience thrown in. The venue's famous Crabfries and full bar access make this more than just overpriced TV watching.
Pool Party Meets Tailgate Culture
The Pool is taking outdoor viewing seriously with their 240-foot LED video wall setup. The heated pool stays open throughout, which beats cramming into some stuffy sports book. Their tiered pricing makes sense: $135 for drinks-only access or $165 for food and beverage packages that include hot dogs, burgers, and a nacho bar. Nothing revolutionary, but executed properly with that massive screen backdrop.
For those wanting the full VIP treatment, cabanas and bungalows start at a $1,500 minimum - steep but reasonable for groups looking to claim territory for the afternoon. Check The Pool's current offerings to see what's available for game day.
Valentine's Day Gets the Italian Treatment
Balla Italian Soul continues to impress with their Valentine's Day approach. Chef Shawn McClain's four-course prix-fixe menu at $95 includes house-made focaccia, choice of baby gem salad or beets and ricotta, pasta options like cavatelli pesto and lobster cannelloni, and mains ranging from seared scallops to beef filet. That's proper Italian cooking, not some generic romance package.
Amina Spa offers their Better Together couples treatment for $260 - either custom massages or facials in their candle-lit suite. The Sweet Escape package combines a Chocolate Facial with an Almond Deluxe pedicure for $180, plus complimentary champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries for treatments booked February 13-15.
Year of the Horse Brings Authentic Flavors
The Noodle Den is celebrating Lunar New Year properly with hand-pulled noodles and traditional dishes running February 13-27. Their limited-time menu includes bird's nest soup, salted egg yolk live lobster, and wagyu beef potstickers - ingredients that show they‘re sourcing quality products, not cutting corners on authenticity.
The property’s lion dance ceremony on February 20 starts at the main entrance at 6 p.m. and winds through the casino, hitting all the major dining spots. It's cultural programming done right, partnering with an actual Lion Dance Group rather than some watered-down tourist version.
SAHARA's February calendar shows they understand Las Vegas dining and entertainment. From authentic Italian cuisine at Balla to legitimate sports viewing experiences, they're hitting the right notes without resorting to gimmicky promotions that insult your intelligence.
