The NASCAR Cafe at the Sahara opened in March 2000, and its roller coaster, Speed: The Ride, opened in April 2000. The coaster closed on May 1, 2011, two weeks before the Sahara itself closed on May 16, 2011, and was dismantled starting in April 2012. The hotel later reopened as SLS Las Vegas and is now Sahara Las Vegas, without the NASCAR Cafe or the coaster.
