The Opportunity

The Strip has
never looked up

The drone entertainment industry is projected to reach six billion dollars by 2030. Las Vegas hosts 42 million visitors annually. Yet not a single resort on the Strip has claimed ownership of the sky above it.

This is not a trend. This is an entirely new category. And Sahara is positioned to own it.

Strategic Position

The only rooftop
on the boulevard

Sahara sits at the gateway of the Strip. The Maroon tower provides an unobstructed 360-degree launch point above the city. No other property on Las Vegas Boulevard can offer this sightline.

This is the only rooftop where 500 drones can launch and be visible for miles in every direction. The sky above Sahara is unclaimed airspace with unmatched visibility.
