Virgin Hotels has announced that their property’s grand opening in Las Vegas has been set for January 15, 2021. Located in the space of the former Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, it will include a 60,000 square foot casino operated by Mohegan Sun.

At a press event featuring property partners and investors the company said the revitalized property, part of Curio Collection by Hilton, will open as Virgin Las Vegas on that date, being revealed on a digital mobile billboard. The highly-anticipated arrival of Virgin comes as several new resorts are expected to be opening in the coming months including Circa and Resorts World.

Virgin Las Vegas is a hotel and casino resort in Paradise, Nevada, east of the Las Vegas Strip. It previously operated as the Hard Rock Hotel from 1995 to 2020, before closing for renovations to be rebranded as Virgin Hotels. Virgin intended to revive the former Hard Rock’s reputation as a top destination for entertainment. The venue is tentatively known as The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, until a permanent name is chosen.

The resort also features 12 restaurants and bars. Like other Virgin hotels, the Las Vegas property includes the Commons Club, which is an upscale restaurant and lounge area built at the resort’s main entrance. The Commons Club measures 8,500 sq ft and includes The Bar and The Shag Room, two ultra-lounges located adjacent to one another. Both will offer live entertainment, and The Shag Room will also be booked for private events.
