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.
