Here is a rare copy of the "Saharan" magazine from the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas. The magazine measures 8 1/2 x 11, and is dated October 1964. It was given out to guests of the hotel for a very short time. This issue was published in very small numbers...and has become very collectible! Memorabilia from their stop in Vegas is extremely hard to find! It has an article and pictures on The Beatles 2 shows at the Convention center held on August 20, 1964. Both concerts were attended by a total of 16,000 crazed fans! The concerts were held at 4pm & 9pm...and tickets went for $2.20...$3.30...$4,40...& $5.50. The Beatles received a $25,000 guarantee plus 60% of the gate for the 2 concerts that night. The Beatles stayed at the Sahara while in Vegas. They were on their first coast to coast tour of the US. (August 19-September 20, 1964)
