Always a fun time man! Thanks for the invite
Great vlog you two!!
@@JacobslifeinVegas good seeing you two together!!
Always take your silicone ear plugs when staying at a youth hostel. It can get loud at night especially if your roommates snore.
Always enjoy Jacob on a stream!
I met Pompsie and his girlfriend in the last days of March at New York New York casino while eating a pizza. They were walking by and i said, Hey, I know you guys I subscribe to your channel”. They both stoped and said hi and asked my name. They are very down to earth and are great people.
Awesome channel, wish you guys the best take care!
Your right, they are nice people.
That’s actually his wife, they’re very nice people!
Fun Fact Pompsie: this hostel was used as the filming location for The Best Little Chapel in The Hangover in 2009. The chapel was a facade used for the movie and this is where the guys flee in the stolen cop car. Look it up, very cool.
That's pretty cool
Ha I was gonna say that place looked familiar, good catch
I just ran into this channel and have almost binge watched all your videos. The vibes are immaculate! 😁
Dude thank you so much I really appreciate it ✊🏼
Pompsie vids are story like, very easy to watch with great progression. He kills it with the edits
We need to enjoy him while he's still on TH-cam. Pomps is Money, and Mega a Star!
Me TOOO!!! 🥰 KaraOK-E!!! PARTÆ 🎙 MIC NIGHTS 🎶 SOCIAL 💃 ‘Do The Hustle’ 🕺 MELLOW YELLOW 🙌🏿 POMPSIE 📣 🎉 😘 🤗 🙏 LIKE 👍 LOVE 💕 LIVE 🌹 PAZ ✌️
I've been to vegas 6 or 7 times in my life, and I am much older than Pompsie,..but his Vegas channel is my favorite for that city.
$67 x 6 people, they are getting $402 per room per night. They are making more money per room than the Wynn.
I never thought about hostel math like that, but you're right, lol. No wonder there are so many hostels.
Jacob and Pompsie my two favorite Las Vegas Ytubers.
Very interesting. Thanks for featuring this.
The downtown area is my favorite area of Vegas because as much as Jacob says no one says this, I’m 56 and yes, Old Vegas I miss very much and downtown still has that vibe!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Just to clarify, I work at this hostel and bungalows hostel is not the one that also owns the strip club, that's Sin City Hostel. Also, our prices go up on the weekends, it's typically $37-43 including fees and such on weekdays.
Thanks for coming by and glad you had fun!
Hey! Is it cheaper if you pay in cash?
Can you stay free room and board there if you work there ?
Does Chandler still own the Hostel? I lived there for a few mo's about 5yrs ago. The renovations are a huge improvement! 😍
My favorite youtubers for Vegas
Yup, never staying at a Hostel....but thanks for filming it.
Thanks for showing us that. Heard of them but never saw on!
Without a doubt in my mind I know I won’t be disappointed of your music choice on your videos Pomps, freaking love them. Your style of editing, transitions, time lapses, and the list could go on. I appreciate the amount of love and effort you put into each video.🙏
@Ruth Blvd Always love seeing you in the streams. ❤😍
@@shonta beautiful Shonta! Thank you for always receiving me with love ❤️ you’re a doll. Lots of love & respect for you 😘🤗
Worked in hostels for many years, as you say they aren't for everyone. Lifetime friendships around the world are the possibility of traveling communally. Great video.
Let’s get this channel to 500K subscribers! One of the few channels I can’t wait to see a new video.
Share his channel to everyone you know! :)
2 of the best dudes to do Vegas.
My wife and I got married at that chapel across the street 5 years ago!!!
Another great video!!!
I love seeing you guys all hang out.
Awesome video and I loved watching it. thanks for the upload ! ,.,.,,
Love both of you!
This was such a fun video, I love it!!!!!! ❤ (love the music too!!!!!!!)
you guys have great taste in the music in these vlogs- This Vlog was a lot of fun!
You are brave!!
Great video!!
Great upgrade to the hostel. The rebar arcade looks super cool
Pompsie you gotta be one with the “real” people of Vegas not just the upper crust, love this video. You just might end up being a journalist 👀 👏🏾 👏🏾
Good vlog. Not too bad for a hostel. Pretty clean. Thanks for sharing ❤️
This is great!! Thanks for exposing another part of Vegas most don’t see.. 👍🏼👍🏼
Im a hostel traveler sometimes and i laugh and enjoyed watching you guys in a hostel, nice video
I'v looked into this when I was younger. Always ended up staying at the Imperial Palace instead!🤣 When I was younger.
Ive always wondered about the hostel experience! Great video! I’ll check Jacobs channel out!
I'm a little too old for hostels, but I'm fascinated with them - especially international hostels. Awesome content!!! Thanks🙂
I’ve met older women at hostels mid 40s, 50’s and even 60’s. No one minds!
A lot of hostels has single rooms with a bath you don't have to share....but this is a really nice and clean
hostel compared to many I've experienced
I stayed at Sin City Hostel the first time I visited Vegas as a 22 y.o. - it wasn't as social as Bungalows, but I shared a 10-bunk room with a group of very drunk Aussie guys who wanted full participation from everyone else in the room for any shenanigans they were up to each night.
I'm surprised you didn't mention that this exact hostel was used as the "Best Little Wedding Chapel" in 2009's The Hangover.
About ten years ago I stayed at a hostel on Fremont street. About twenty-five dollars. They had an awesome Champagne Las Vegas Boulevard “VIP” tour with a limo. The champagne flowed and the smoke was heavy. We lost a couple Aussies somewhere along the way. Great experience. For the single traveler who is gregarious, hostels may be a better choice than a hotel.
Back in the 1960s, 70s, 80s, most people that came to Vegas for a cheap, fun vacation drove there. The north Strip, south Strip and Fremont East had scores of cool, cheap motor lodges that were actually decent places to stay. Once Vegas became commercialized and there was the mega-resort building boom, these motels went downhill, fast. Most are gone. Those that remain either became hostels (like the one you are in) or seedy places that are more appropriate for urban explorers than vacationers.
I love how Vegas TH-camrs collab 🥺🥺
Love this vlog. I've traveled Europe but never stayed in a hostel. You guys mesh just as well with Jacob as you do Matthew. Great seeing such good fun vibes among friends.
And of course, Pompsie fans at the hostel too! 😍 Glad the hostel wasn't hostile to you guys and Frankie🚘!😍
🥰
No way a classy lady like you Shonta would stay in a “hostile”.😂
Just kidding. I know it was a typo.😁
@@scs9725 😂 auto correct😂fixed😂
I just saw an article by David Morris in Travel & Leisure Magazine titled “The Best Resort in Las Vegas just got a $200 million makeover and we got a sneak preview.” Looking forward to Pompsie doing his magic at Wynn Las Vegas shortly. Another hotel and casino, The Palms, just reopened. Haven’t seen anything from Pompsie yet.
@@scs9725 Pompsie and Greta were at the Palms reopening ceremony and were livestreaming. They had connection issues so he put it on his Patreon. Vlogs are coming ! :)
The weirdest hostel I ever stayed at was a hostel in Munich Germany. It was just a large circus tent with a wood floor. They gave you 3 blankets. You used one as a mattress one as a pillow and one as your blanket. In the morning they made breakfast and tea in a hugh kettle.
I bet it was cheap too.
Pompsie, as always. Amazing content and videos. Will keep supporting your channel 👊🏼
I drove past you guys walking while shooting this the other day.
Pretty interesting. TU, for keeping us informed on What's Happening in Vegas.
I love that you went and spent a night there. Not everyone can afford the expensive places, and it's nice to get the other end of the range.
WOW, this was a fun video. I couldn't stay in a hostel but it was very interesting to see the set up.
“The Bungalows Hostel “ Dope video with you , Greta , and Jacob . I like how you went out of your comfort zone on this one . I wish , I would have stayed in a hostel in my twenties while traveling. Edgy part of Vegas . I love it ❤️🔥✌🏻
They really need a "No Diving" sign posted somewhere at that pool!!!! 😁
😁
I am definitely NOT a hostel person!
I ❤️ privacy and space!
Fun video though!!!
I spent 3 months volunteering here helping run reception, before when it was Hostel Cat. Some very very good memories. I saw more sunrises then sunsets, fun late nights making friends with people from around the world. It was almost like I was travelling on my own, the travelers would come to me. Barely scraping by on 7/11 food and 99cent store basics. Blew my mind, the 99cent stores carry produce. Back then, you could get a night in a 10 bed for $24. Really neat you were able to share this way of travel with 80,000+ people. I will probably be a hostel cat to the grave, I love the vibes.
I’m an OG Jacob subscriber. Glad to see the collab. Esp on one where it might be good to have a wingman. 👍👍
Thanx for the tour. I enjoyed it
I can't believe it was $70 I'd rather circus circus 🤣🤣
Basically the hostel sounds like a special place for fun!
You totally owe Jacob an invite to the next Vegas Penthouse you get invited to stay, after enduring a hostel. I probably would have ghosted out of there after dark.
Very true on that invitation!!
🤣
Love seeing you team up with Jacob I never knew what a hostile was.
I just have to say that my vision isn’t what it used to be. I was sure the thumbnail used for this video was an alien 👽! Just pom Pom crawling up to the bunk bed! What a relief!
😅
Hostel's are big in Europe. My son and his friend went all around Germany staying in hostels in their early 20's. It was fun for them, and very cheap (some were $10 a night) as they didn't really have an itinerary of what cities they wanted to go to. Hostels are good for throw your bag down, sleep, get up and leave. They remind me of the camp houses when I went to camp as a little girl. At least you were well protected by a very highly trained body guard (Jacob 😀) $67.00 seemed a little high when you said it, but I guess that's Vegas for ya.
They are glorified homeless shelters really. Not saying thats a bad thing necessarily, it just is what it is.
Glad to see you and Jacob do a collab...you two are my favorite vloggers! Great job as always!
Awesome vid Pompsie! I'm a cheapskate and have stayed at a few hostels and not opposed to them at all. That being said, for Las Vegas, I just go whenever I get comp'd rooms from Caesar's or MGM (just have to pay resort fee). I don't even gamble very much. Just slots and I'm an ULTRA low baller.
Hippy commune. I think the Manson family started there.
Greta is a good sport and I'm glad Jacob came too. An interesting step out of your usual videos. I both was creeped out and enjoyed that it wasn't that bad. Seemed expensive and I looked...there is an amenity fee??? (I would have gone home at the guy waving his arms and blocking the entrance. ) Thanks for keeping it interesting.
Very cool! I've stayed at hostels all over the world and I would love to check out the Vegas hostel. There's a great Cuban restaurant across the street called Floridita
I stayed there when it was the Hostel Cat and it was only $25/night... renovations makes it look a lot cleaner though.
That's some cool and spooky place.
I'm Jacob, and this is Pompsie's life in Vegas
🤣
This was super interesting to watch after working at the front desk of a hotel all day. I've always thought that they could redevelop that area into an "old town/throwback/old days" part of town with those little motels re-branded as classic names from Vegas' past. Kind of like how "The Mint" did.
They kind of are. If you haven't been to the Arts District or Fremont East lately, definitely check it out.
I stayed in dozens of hostels in Europe in the 80’s. Never paid more than $15. Even with inflation, $67 is steep. 6 people in that room each paying is making $$ for the owners. I hope they pay their dancers well! Love the vlog.
Great job, love seeing y'all together. Was there a resort fee? 😅 haha
Sooo dope! 🙏🏾❤️
Great Vlog and was a lot of fun to watch- A few thoughts, was it 67.00+ per person? also, great to see Jacob from Jacobs Life in Vegas hanging out with you guys, We almost saw him on the 24 hour stream but he was too professional to crash the Live stream. Hey Jacob- Congrats on getting back to fighting shape, loosing those #'s is a lot of work so good job sir.
Great vid ! Jacob is the dude to bring along, really does suck that they put more people in the middle of the night.
It's cool how you and Jacob are doing videos together.
Great Vlog from Team Pompsie. What you said was for a similar price you can stay on the strip. So, why hostel ? Much better to stay on the strip. Privacy/ security etc and no one is likely to be checking into your room at 1am…
Thank you so much for sharing an experience I would never have, but always wanted to know about!
Great video Pompsie. There was a time in life that the hostel would have been my place. Now I'm over 60, I will stay with the strip hotels! 🤣
That dude looks familiar~ I think I've watched a few of his Vegas Videos~
Jacob looks like a cop
Jacob is a good friend and SAVED GRETA!! I can appreciate the savings for some travelers. Thinking this is where the phrase WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS!! 😄
"this is the saddest looking arcade"
Zooms into potential crime scene
Hey pompsie in a future video do you think you could try staying at an Airbnb off strip and do pros and cons? I think it wouldbe a great video for your channel.
Thank you for staying with us! We had a fan call us after watching this video 😁
Didn’t even consider that there were hostels in LV. Good stuff Pompsie
Great video! Love the strip club next door. Thanks for showing that not everyone in Vegas is rich. Nice to see low cost options. I can still remember 49 cent breakfasts at Arizona Charlies.
@Mark Sias Remember the 99 cent Steak and Eggs specials? There were quite a few hotel restaurants that featured that. 😊
1:15 Omg lol! Only Jacob can say things like that and get away with it
Sin City is my go to Hostel, great price, great attitude from the people their and great employees. The last time I stayed there, the employee hung out because i was coming in from Chicago and the flight landed after 11:30 pm, the Hostel normally closes up by 12 midnight. Thanks Sin City
I would have thought that a hostel in Vegas would have been half this price.
I agree. It seemed a little pricey for a hostel. I would honestly rather stay at Circus Circus in their cheapest room.
@@Jazzykatt23 🤣
Good video. I don't think I would like to be awoken by strangers in the middle of the night. You three are so brave staying there.
This is a nice place, I will stay there on my next trip, thanks for the awsome video.
Great fun x
I give you credit Pompsie. Not all of us can stay at the Encore and have VIP privileges at the Beach Club. I gotta try this.
I have never wanted to stay at a Hostel but have always been curious. Always answering my travel questions. lol.
Seemed like a much better experience than anticipated. Not everyone is into the big resort scene and that's ok too.
Thanks for showing that I see lot of opportunity
I stayed at Sin City hostel back in October ‘21. It was clean and safe. The bus system was down so I had to walk 8 blocks to catch it at the Strat. Besides that, it was close to restaurants and the Fremont. If your broke and wanna spend money on other things it works !! They have good coffee and good breakfast also.
that bar looked fun
Every time i go to vegas i get my haircut at Chopz, downt the road from that 7-11 and yeah, its not a place you want to be after dark lmao
Great showing the good bad and the ugly
You have made it in the world when someone recognizes you and wants a picture
I got married at that Little White Chapel in 2009. There was a Boston Pizza restaurant that had good cheap food back then. Did you notice if it was still in that area?
Pompsie! (IMO) The world needs more people like you and Greta in it… My wife and I are heading back over to Vegas on Memorial Day Weekend. If you guys happen to be there walking on “The Strip”, we’ll be sure stop over and say hi… Wishing you all the best, dude.
Am I the only one wondering if there was a bed bug check before jumping in those bunk beds?. I have heard that was a problem with Hostels ------- I know some of the most expensive rooms in Vegas have also been plagued with the pesky little vampires also
They do! They keep it really clean
