Last month, Richard Bosworth, the public face of the ownership group that developed Virgin Hotels Las Vegas stepped down as CEO of J.C. Hospitality. 

Bosworth put together and served as the managing partner of the ownership company, which includes Richard Branson’s Virgin Group that acquired the former Hard Rock Las Vegas on Paradise Road and Harmon Avenue for $500 million in 2018. 

He then oversaw more than $200 million in redevelopment, which led to the 1,500-room resort’s opening in March 2021. Bosworth will continue to have an ownership stake in the resort, points out The Nevada Independent.
