Dear travelers, beware-beware!!
the sincity hostel is bed bug infested and it is really unsanitary.
you must know that bed bugs can transmit diseases like hepatitis B and
Chagas'disease,so if you are willing to take the risk in exchange for cheap accomodation,try sin city.not to mention you will be taking bed bugs home as souvenirs.
Me and my friends went to this hostel for a 3-day stay and on the second night we saw the wall crawling with bugs-I'm a medical student so I know definitely they were bed bugs-and they were HUGE!!! we called the night manager and since they didn't have any free room, we had to sleep in the TV room which was a disaster.Next morning we talked with the manager asking for a refund,since we at least expected
a clean room and bed not the TV room,and he said that bed bugs are natural!!!and the TV room is also for rent: 12$ a night!!! which is absolutlely illegal. and it is a take it or leave it- "what you gonna do, huh?" he said
well, my other friend is a law student so we had taken pics from the bed bugs beforehand and taped our conversation,so we politely told him
that we will sue. the manager thought a little and said "well, you made a convincing arguement!!!, you will have your refund" we went to sahara hotel which was really good: 30$ a night each-no breakfast but also no bed bugs.
Bottom line, I have been to great hostels like the HIchicago, which is
better than a 3 star hotel, so I can compare and also you see that the
management not only takes sanitation lightly in the hostel but also isn't taking any steps to eradicate the bedbug infestation:you can see
the same problem in recent comments.
also I think many of the young visitors either don't know what a bed bug is or just take the manager's word and believe it is natural!! to have bed bugs around a hostel.
I definitely don't recommend the sin city hostel-a cheap hotel is a little bit expensive but you won't have a bitter bed bug experience in
Las Vegas.
