Sin City Hostel was my first hostel experience and it served as a great introduction to the concept. The room was as described, a room with three bunk beds fit for six people. The beds were spread out far enough that you didn’t feel too near the other guests. Only two others were in my room my entire stay. Obviously they make noise and are there but beyond that the other guests were not disturbing to my stay at all. In fact all of the other guests were friendly, respectful, and clean. The staff let me in upon my arrival. I was early and I was unable to check in to my room but the staff showed me to an adequate bathroom where I could shower and change and then allowed me to store my bags until my room was available. The hostels common area is beyond what was expected. It was as spacious comfortable area with a full kitchen, a snack station, coffee, water, oj, a television and charging ports. It served as a great place to meet other guests and sit and plan the day. The hostel is within a twenty minute walking distance to Fremont St a street loaded with casinos, restaurants, and attractions similar to the strip but smaller and less expensive but some say more fun. Other places within walking distance include a brewery area of town with several restaurants/breweries. Between the hostel and Fremont is Cannastarz, a weed shop if you’re looking for that, the pawn shop from Pawn starz and a Tamale restaurant that was great as well as several other restaurants and stores. Walking the other direction away from Fremont towards the strip which is too far to walk to but can be reached inexpensively via the Duece bus (Warning! The Duece bus does not make change; when using cash to pay have exact change.) you can find several other restaurants including pizza shops and my favorite restaurants of the trip Tacos Mexicanos and Tacos El Gordo. Also walking in that direction you can find strip clubs, one being Talk of the Town, an intimate somewhat dingy but in a cool way anything goes kind of place and the other being Peppermint Hippo, a over the top 24 hour joint with a $50 cover fee that I avoided. Dinos a great neighborhood bar is in that direction too; it’s famous for its karaoke. The farthest you’d want to walk in that direction would be to Circus Circus but it’s doable and you pass the worlds biggest gift shop on the way. All in all great stay that was as described and exceeded my expectations for a simple and humble hostel. Rooms were clean nothing frightening happened.
