I absolutely loved this place , although I wouldn't spend more than a few days here or I would end up penniless. There is loads to see with all the casinos there and the bright lights of the city.

There is loads to see with all the casinos there and the bright lights of the city. Every one already knows a few stories about vegas before they even go and generally they are all true. The water shows outside the Bellagio are definitely worth seeing while you are there and if you are looking for a day out of the city, go and visit the hoover dam and the grand canyon. This is definitely somewhere I am going back to.close

Driving into Las Vegas from the desert is one of the strangest experiences ever! It was nightime and we had just spent 4 hours on the road looking at nothing much more than desert and the odd cactus plant and suddenly there it is! Bright lights, big city. Literally!

It was nightime and we had just spent 4 hours on the road looking at nothing much more than desert and the odd cactus plant and suddenly there it is! Bright lights, big city. Literally! Las Vegas truely is a wonder, and it really never does sleep, your sense of time gets really warped here, it could be 12 o'clock at night or 3 in the afternoon when you are inside. The people are loud, the casinos are loud..but there loads of things to do and see that dont involve gambling, its safe and most of all, FUNclose

I dunno, maybe it was me but I just didn't really get Vegas. I don't gamble (I put $1 in a machine pressed the wrong button and got a voucher for $1 - so I won !! lol) I mean it has to be seen, it is an amazing sight and there's is something about light bulbs at night and it was very clean...more I dunno, maybe it was me but I just didn't really get Vegas.

Las Vegas is a place you hear so much about but you have got to experience it to believe it. The first thing that hit me was the heat. 50 degrees Celsius on the day we arrived. Like a furnace. The city itself is mental. All lights and all action. Make sure to take in one of the many shows...more Las Vegas is a place you hear so much about but you have got to experience it to believe it. The first thing that hit me was the heat. 50 degrees Celsius on the day we arrived. Like a furnace. The city itself is mental. All lights and all action. Make sure to take in one of the many shows and visit some of the bigger casinos like Circus Circus and the MGM. Also took a ride on the huge roller coaster. Stayed 3 days there - 3 days is enough.close

Done vegas with a group of lads, had a ball. we stayed in the Westwood ho on the strip. It's a bit of a dive and we got thrown out after one day for partying to loud at 6 am ( fair enough). it was the best thing to happen. we crossed to the sahara much nicer. It doesnt really matter where you...more Done vegas with a group of lads, had a ball. we stayed in the Westwood ho on the strip. It's a bit of a dive and we got thrown out after one day for partying to loud at 6 am ( fair enough). it was the best thing to happen. we crossed to the sahara much nicer. It doesnt really matter where you stay in Vegas as you can go into any of the hotels and drink and gamble( they actually encourage it) . Had about 400 dollars a day, 200 to gamble 200 to party which is not a lot. But 3rd night won 2000 dollars on roulette and poker machines which made the trip very enjoyable. lost it all again over the week but hey didnt plan on coming home with anything and loved every secondclose

The shower was mostly cold. The mattresses were coated in rubber, making the beds hot and uncomfortable.

The location is ok, but the hostel is located in the netherworld between the main strip and downtown. Its surrounded by cheap wedding chappels, strip joints and XXX stores. If you are travelling with anyone, better to stay off strip and split a hotel room.close
