Firefighters work to put out a blaze atop the Sahara hotel on Aug. 25, 1964. Built-up grease was the cause of the fire, and the water damage forced the hotel to close the main casino, the Conga Room and the Casbar. The Conga room was relocated upstairs to keep hotel guests entertained while the other damaged rooms were repaired.
