Hi,

even if you're on a budget this hostel is really badly managed. I asked to stay in a room with girls and they put me in a mixed one. The same happened the following day, after I explained the issue at the reception. Beds are so uncomfortable and they still have the plastic on the mattress. Let's not speak about the cheap, grating bedsheets and the "electric" blankets. do yourself a favor and choose another hostel for your stay...

Take care,
Caroline

p.s. Las Vegas might be worth going for a day to see the Bellagio hotel, and a Circe du Soleil show, but a part from this...don't waste your time, and money there, it's rather ugly/depressing..

Worst Hostel from our whole trip!!!
We were two females traveling around California and Vegas in Oct '08. Three weeks before we arrived here we called and asked to change our dates, which we were advised was fine, as we were only going to end up staying one night and book into a hotel the other two nights. When we arrived we were met by a woman who seemed so bored like she didnt even want to be there, and was totally rude and unhelpful. We were told that we would have to pay for all three nights, even though we were only there for one, and she wasnt budging. As we arrived on a Sat night, there was no where else to stay and we didnt have the money for a hotel. She then took us to our room, where we found out that the room attached (occupied by guys) could only be entered via them coming into our room! great so no privacy there -- they could come in whenever, not very safe! The beds where disgusting! Sheets were dirty and stained and there were actual bugs crawling on them! I would advise you not to stay!
BAD HOSTEL!BAD LOCATION!VERY RUDE UNHELPFULL STAFF!!...pay a little extra and stay in a hotel!

This was a terrible terribe hostel and I would not reccommend it to anyone.

For a start they say they are the only hostel on 'The Strip', but to call themselves on the Strip is a giant stretch of the imagination. Yes they are located on Las Vegas Blvd as is the strip but they are at the wrong end of Las Vegas Blvd surrounded by wedding chappels and bail bonds offices. It is a 30min bus ride up to the real strip.

Next they charge for internet and they don't have WiFi although they say they do. They charge you $1 for 10 mins on the net but their service is soooooooo slllooowwww that it takes 10 mins just to load one page. I was on for about 45 mins got charged for 60 mins and got nothing accomplished and had to go and spend lots more money in an internet cafe to get what I needed to do done.

The room I was in was advertised as a 6 bed dorm and some other girls checked in when I did and checked straight back out as they hated the place. They didn't get their money back. I moved from the bed I was in to one of the beds one of the girls was in as it was a bit more comfortable. The next day I was told I couldn't stay there as it was in the 'private room'. So really it wasn't a six bed dorm but a 4 bed dorm with a private room attached.

Also when I got up after my first night I went to use the toilet and it is blocked. I go to the desk and let them know and was told to use a toilet in the common room which was blocked also. When I told them I was told it was the cities fault????????

Next I go to have a shower and there is no hot water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Later that day when I get back to the hostel and need to have a shower before going out I find that the towel I left hanging on a hook in my dorm is missing. When I ask at the front desk it turns out that it was taken by a staff member and is being used for cleaning.

That night I get home from being out at about 3 in the morning to find that my PJ's are missing also. Also taken from a hook in the dorm room. When I asked for them the next day they were found in the staff quarters.

This was particularly upsetting because for the whole time I had been staying there there was a dirty grotty towel and a filthy singlet left lying around in the dorm room. Was that moved or touched - no. Was my pirfectly clean and very nice things taken away - yes.

When I complained about this - NOTHING was done and it was made out that it was my fault.

There are other hostels in Las Vegas that are much better - DO NOT STAY AT SIN CITY HOSTEL
