Las Vegas may be world renowned for it’s lavish, five-star hotels but not everyone and afford that. Budget travelers don't necessarily want to be hauled up alone in a pokey room in a hotel the size of a city block.

Some travelers, backpackers in particular, prefer the communal atmosphere of a hostel. They’re more social, often with a common room and scheduled activities, so those traveling solo will have a better opportunity to make friends. Afterall, Vegas is a lot more fun if you’re out and about with other people, not just sitting sad & lonely at a 1 cent slot machine for hours on end.

If you’re on a budget your wallet will thank you for picking a hostel over a hotel. You can get a dorm bed for as little as $11.50 per night. That’s less than the dreaded resort fee some hotels in town charge! Las Vegas has the highest average price per meal in the United States so staying in a hostel has the added advantage of access to a kitchen to prepare your own meals.

Here are some of the top hostels in Las Vegas:
