Sin City hostel isn't really even a true hostel. It's a dirty, run down old hotel in a dangerous, cracked out part of the world famous city of Las Vegas. Even for budget travel this hostel is badly managed and if visiting Vegas I'd recommend looking for some of the deals on sites such as orbitz for a hotel before booking here. I've found much better hotels at competitive prices.
Those who read into my hostel reviews might know I'm a bit of a party animal. I'm hardly in the hostel itself so the only things I ever ask out of any hostel I stay in are:
*
a bed
*
a shower/place to pee, poop and puke can be a toilet, can be a reasonably sized hole aways from the shower and bed
*
a safe place to keep my stuff
Everything after that I consider bonuses. However the Sin City Hostel manages to fail at these basic points. Let's start with the bed shall we. This monstrosity consists of a foam mattress wrapped in plastic. It squeaks, squawks, and farts just like your grandmothers old couch and once you get a room of people on these instruments you have a full concerto of people getting poor sleep. The first set of sheets I received were dirt and stained. They were replaced but watch out
The shower is hit or miss. Some people claim to have received warm water, I never did. Prepare to flush multiple times using the toilet, if it doesn't overflow somehow.
I usually try not to hold hostels accountable for the part of town they are located in. You can't expect to be located in the diamond district at $20 a night. The neighborhood Sin City is located in is ridiculous though. It's a stereotypical American ghetto just like you've seen in the movies. Sure it's a straight bus ride to the strip but I kid you not during my stay some ingenious criminals cut and strip a live power line for the copper.
I personally left this place with mysterious bites, acne, and a cold. I've heard similar health complaints from others so I'd highly urge you to STAY AWAY from the Sin.

Five of the most retarded internet videos
Camera's change the way people act. Ordinary, moral human beings can stand by and watch tragedies happen from behind a camera whereas without one they may help. People will take advantage of others for 15 minutes of fame. In today's age more and more youth have access to camera's and are doing unbelievable things in the name of entertainment which is why I bring you:
Five retarded internet video's uploaded by teenagers
1.
Watch this tv:
A group of eight Somali teenagers from the Twin Cities area decide to create a video called "Watch This T.V." that features them running up to random strangers and:
- Pushing over an old guy on a bike and having his head hit the pavement.
- Pushing some little kid down a hill.
- Tackling people from behind on the sidewalk.
- Ambushing bikers on the Greenway.
- Jumping out at people on walks and punching them.
They then uploaded the video to youtube... complete with a tough guy style intro featuring their real names! Cops have easily tracked down and arrested six of them already.
Watching the video just makes me enraged that people enjoy doing this to random people for fun. Watching the old guy on the bike get knocked over is particularly tough.
The video and the news story are here:

If it's any consolation, Somalia is inevitably going to get it's rear end invaded by the African Union once their patience runs thin. If there's one thing that unites most of sub-Saharan Africa aside from their hatred of Europeans and Arabs, it's their hatred of Somalis.

Five black males repetitively hump a chair/wall/floor/mirror/air

The title basically sums it up here five black teens hump furniture. None of them found it the least homoerotic. I'd like to let all the lucky ladies reading this article know these guys are single!

Teens give a baby ecstasy
http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:%20/2007/07/10/teens-under-investigation-for-youtube-toddler-ecstasy-video/
In this video some older teens poke, prod and harass a baby aboard a moving car while they and the baby are under the influence of the drug ecstasy. What makes this video disgusting is the baby isn't even in a car seat!

Special poetry slam- life in drag
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYpaVQBzSU8
Before you get angry at me for posting this I'd like to explain. I nor anyone associated with this site condone or would refrain from punching anyone who makes fun of the differently abled. However one can tell a great deal about the age we live in knowing that the special poetry slam videos were stolen from a private event and uploaded for the sick pleasure of people like Opie and Anthony to make remixes, edits and general mockery of these brave people. Read the comments if you dare.

Any Parody of "I'm on a boat" by the lonely Island
Pound this into your thick skulls, I'm on a boat is a parody. Any further parody is not only obnoxious, unnecessary and practically infringement but it's also retarded! It's like listening to a Weird Al Yankovic album and making a parody of "Amish Paradise". Just don't do it. If you've made one of these parodies congratulations you are the most retarded person on the internet!

Mass: we pray a video game about going to church
When the Nintendo Wii was released I could be quoted as saying it was "the most retarded thing I've seen since the California High School exit exam". The more I've seen of it and every product released by Nintendo and 3rd parties have done more and more to seal that quote.
Now a 3rd party studio is releasing Mass: we Pray. I got a small headache typing that. However there may be some people reading this who are authentically interested in buying a prayer game for the family. For those people I'll begin this preview by saying God isn't real. So there. I was right about the Wii being a shitbox so I'd certainly know a thing or two about what comprises our universe. Why don't you just do what you do best and shut up and listen to what your told k?
In Mass: We Pray (cringe) you, do church stuff...With your wii controller...yeah
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRMiRFJzIKA&feature=player_embedded
See I'm not even making this up for once! Like a lot of my game reviews I havn't actually bothered to purchase or play this game as writing about them doesn't actually pay enough for me to buy them. However I saw that trailer which is actually quite more than what I usually go on. Afterall I didn't even see the box for Left 4 dead until two months after I did that review and I was spot on! I might be a little drunk but I'm sure I can review Mass: We Pray just fine!
//professional mode
Mass: We Pray is a multiplayer game availiable for the nintendo wii developed by prayer works interactive. A first of it's kind it's a Church, prayer, and ceremony simulator. Imagine Guitar Hero however instead of rockin out to your favorite jams your worshiping your Lord with up to three friends!
As innovative as this game is being the first of it's kind and despite all the polish, detail, research, animation, special effects, hard work, and bronzecasting that went into this game there are glaring points that will keep you from wanting to own this game.
The wiimote is unresponsive which can turn any of the events which involve flame such as lighting candles into a five alarm fire or result in you wacking Grandma in the eye with the collection plate(I did this both in real life and in the game).
Also the experience overall isn't very deep as much as a series of gimicky minigames that won't take more than an hour to complete. Some people might want to keep coming back to mass over and over but most are going to move on and perhaps enjoy something deeper like Madden: All Play.
Actually this whole thing is a shallow advertisement for Dante's Inferno by EA games. I had too much fun with this. I actually am drunk and I would like a cheque from EA for mentioning them. Looking forward to the game. Probably won't be able to afford it but I will certainly review it well!
