The Moroccan-themed hotel and casino Sahara Hotel closed Monday, ending a 59-year run. Once a hangout for Elvis Presley and the Beatles, the resort was stricken in recent years by the recession. In its heyday, the Sahara was a favorite haunt of the Frank Sinatra-led Rat Pack, featuring Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., who also performed there.Elvis Presley stayed at The Sahara on several occasions, most notably during the filming of "Viva Las Vegas" in 1963. He reportedly stayed in the Presidential Suite during the filming with co-star and love interest, Ann-Margret.
