The Sahara hotel-casino launched a new preflight luggage check-in service, the second hotel-casino on the Strip to announce the service in a week.

Sahara and Certified Airline Passenger Services (CAPS) will offer Sahara customers the option of checking in their baggage two to 12 hours before flight departure. Sahara guests will also have the option of obtaining a boarding pass and seat assignment before going to the airport.

CAPS said it currently is offering the service for customers of America West Airlines and Delta Air Lines. The company said it is negotiating with other major airlines at this time.

Last week, Park Place Entertainment Corp. announced it would offer the CAPS service at Bally's Las Vegas on a trial basis.
