4 reviewed party hostels · from €8.85/night · Hostelworld rated
Las Vegas doesn’t do subtle. The Strip lights up after dark, and the hostels here are right in the middle of the action. Walk out of Sin City Hostel on Fremont Street, and you’re already steps away from free live music, cheap drinks, and the kind of energy that keeps going until sunrise. Most hostels run free shuttles or walking tours to clubs like XS or Omnia, where the queues vanish if you’ve got a hostel wristband. Breakfast is usually thrown in: think eggs, muffins, and enough coffee to fuel another night. If you’re travelling solo, the common areas and organised bar crawls make it easy to meet people without shelling out for overpriced club tables.

Organised nights out with a local guide
A 2.5-hour bar hop on a 15-person pedal pub bike. The crawl visits 4–5 iconic bars in Downtown Las Vegas, with drink specials at each stop: think $3 beers and $5 shots. The pedal pub has a cooler for your own drinks, and the guide keeps the group moving with games and challenges. It’s a solid way to meet people if you’re travelling solo.
How Las Vegas's nightlife zones break down
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.
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.
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.
Where the hostel pub crawls end up, and where to go on your own
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.
Not a single venue, but a five-block pedestrian mall covered by a LED canopy. Free concerts, street performers, and $3 beers at places like The Downtown Grand. The light shows run every hour after dark, and the crowd gets rowdier as the night goes on. Most hostels are a 5-minute walk away.
