Virgin Hotels Las Vegas is flipping the script on traditional Las Vegas Resort openings and will open its doors to the consumer first, putting a significant number of people back to work in the city and offering a positive first sign that Las Vegas is heading in a more hopeful direction. A traditional Grand Opening Celebration is being planned for late Spring based on projected increased gatherings and potential lifting of entertainment restrictions.

Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, part of Curio Collection by Hilton™, will welcome guests to the reimagined and re-conceptualized casino resort at the property’s official opening at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 25.

The grand opening will have live entertainment including DJs, street performances and more, beginning at 6 p.m. and into the early morning. The state-of-the-art 60,000-square-foot Mohegan Sun Casino Las Vegas, featuring 650 slots and over 150 table games, will also open at 6 p.m.

Dining reservations are now available online at virginhotelslv.com for Hakkasan Group’s Casa Calavera, Kris Yenbamroong’s Night + Market, the Nobu and One Steakhouse from Michael and David Morton.

All restaurants inside Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will operate in accordance with the governor’s current public health directives, operating at a limited capacity with up to six guests per table.

Reservations are not required but are strongly encouraged, the company says.

“The opening of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas is just one more positive sign of the recovery of the Las Vegas economy,” said Richard “Boz” Bosworth, President & CEO of JC Hospitality and Owner of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. “We’re excited to have our team members back to work as we prepare to welcome locals and tourists alike at our completely redesigned resort.”

The hotel-casino will also offer free self-parking at two garages, the Paradise Garage off Paradise Road and the Harmon Garage off Harmon Avenue. Both parking garages will open to the public at 6 p.m.

Valet parking will also be available at the Harmon Garage and the property’s main entrance beginning at 6:30 p.m. Valet parking starts at $6 for up to 3 hours per vehicle or a maximum of $20 per day.

The rideshare pick-up and drop-off area, located adjacent to the main entrance, will also open to guests at 6:30 p.m.

Due to high demand, it is recommended that guests check online or call 800.693.7625 for availability.

The new hotel-casino will be off the Strip, on Paradise near Flamino roads, at the location where the Hard Rock Hotel used to be.

It was originally scheduled to open in the fall of 2020 but the date was pushed back to January 2021, which was again delayed due to the pandemic.
