Sahara Hotel & Casino Returns to the Sands It Rose From

The Sahara Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is closing it’s doors forever on May 16th. The hotel that played host to such legends as Sinatra and The Rat Pack has been losing money for some time now and SBE Entertainment Group, who owns the property, will be closing the 55-year old property. “The continued operation of the aging Sahara was no longer economically viable,” Sahara Chief Executive Sam Nazarian said in a statement.

 

The closure will mean over 1000 Sahara employees will lose their jobs.

 

It’s seen the entire rise and fall of the Las Vegas legend unfold, and its loss will be, in many ways, a sad sign of a once-great desert oasis kingdom returning, slowly, to the very sands from which it came.

 

But let’s be honest, that shit was world class tacky.

Chase Outage Effects Millions

If you bank with JP Morgan Chase or know anyone who does, you probably know that the last few days have been filled with aggravation and online banking users obsessively hitting the “refresh” buttons on their browsers.

It appears that Chase has been having some unexpected issues with it’s online banking division since early Monday. While there is currently no official explanation from those in the know at JPMC, rumors have been circulating that the online banking site, along with those from other banks, began to experience numerous attempts to hack security, causing officials to shutter the site.

JP Morgan simply said a glitch

in the custom software caused malfunctions in the site.

The bank has said that they will help customers who were inconvenienced by the downtime, such as customers who use Chase’s Online Bill Pay who’s automatic payments didn’t go through because of the outage.
