Best Party Hostels
in Las Vegas

Sin City Hostel

The Strip lights up after dark, and the hostels here are right in the middle of the action. Sin City Hostel is in Downtown Las Vegas, which puts it at the start of that circuit. Downtown Cocktail Room on 111 Las Vegas Blvd S, Downtown. A dim, intimate bar hidden behind an unmarked door on 6th Street. XS Nightclub on Encore at Wynn, 3131 Las Vegas Blvd S is the fallback option if the first place is packed. At €18 a night and rated 8.7. The 8.7 score is solid: a hostel that does the basics well without promising too much.

Las Vegas Hostel

Las Vegas Hostel is in Downtown Las Vegas, away from the main Strip's mega-clubs and resort casinos. Downtown Cocktail Room on 111 Las Vegas Blvd S is the area's most distinctive bar, a dim, unmarked-door speakeasy that runs $10 cocktails and draws a local crowd rather than tourists. XS Nightclub at Encore on the Strip is a 15-minute drive if the full production is what you're after. Downtown is considerably cheaper than the Strip for both accommodation and drinks. No price or rating in current data.

Downtown Las Vegas

The original Vegas strip, now a mix of vintage casinos and backpacker bars. Fremont Street is the main drag, with free light shows and $3 beers. The Arts District, just south, has murals, indie coffee shops, and a monthly First Friday street festival. Most hostels cluster around 6th Street and Ogden Avenue.

The Strip (South)

Where the mega-resorts live: Bellagio, Caesars Palace, MGM Grand. The sidewalks get packed, and drinks cost double what they do Downtown. But the clubs here are the biggest, and the people-watching is unbeatable. Hostels are rare, but a few budget options sit just east of the Strip on Koval Lane.

Chinatown

A 10-minute Uber ride west of the Strip, centred around Spring Mountain Road. It’s not actually Chinatown, but a collection of Asian restaurants, karaoke bars, and hidden lounges. The crowd is older and the prices are lower: perfect for a break from the Strip’s chaos.

A dim, intimate bar hidden behind an unmarked door on 6th Street. The bartenders mix classic cocktails like Old Fashioneds for $10 during happy hour (4–7 pm). It’s quiet early, but by 10 pm, the place fills with locals and hostel crowds spilling over from Fremont Street. No cover, but arrive early for a seat.

One of the Strip’s biggest clubs, with a poolside daybed area that turns into a dance floor by midnight. Expect EDM and hip-hop, plus A-list DJs like Tiësto or Zedd. Entry is free if you’re staying at a partner hostel, otherwise it’s $40–$60. The queue moves fast if you’re in a group: just dress sharp.

A three-storey bar inside The Cosmopolitan, wrapped in a giant chandelier. The second floor is the sweet spot: $8 cocktails and a view of the Strip. It gets packed after 11 pm, especially on weekends. No cover, but bring ID; they’re strict about age.

A dive bar turned backyard party in Downtown Las Vegas. Giant Jenga, cornhole, and a 24-hour bar with $4 beers. The crowd is a mix of backpackers and locals, and the place stays busy until 4 am. Hostel pub crawls often start here: look for the giant neon ‘Gold Spike’ sign.

A massive club at Caesars Palace with a terrace overlooking the Strip. The music leans towards EDM and house, and the dress code is ‘dress to impress’. Entry is free with a hostel wristband on Thursdays, otherwise it’s $50. The line starts moving around 11 pm: get there early if you want a table.

A secret bar behind a fake laundromat door in Downtown. Reservations are required: your hostel can usually snag one if you ask in advance. The cocktails are $12, but the experience is worth it. It’s tiny, so book for a group of 4–6 if you want a table.
