SLS Las Vegas will open on August 23 at midnight, taking over the space that used to house the Sahara.

Located on Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue, it is hoped that the  new hotel-casino will bring people back to the end of the Strip that hasn't seen as much development in recent years as other properties further south on Las Vegas Boulevard.

Over 120,000 applications were made for the 3,400 jobs at the venue.
