Welcome to Las Vegas, Virgin Hotels! Yup, despite the year that was 2020, 2021 in Sin City is on the rise and welcomes a brand-new hotel brand taking over the former Hard Rock Hotel property: Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, opening March 25, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton (so those of you who benefit from the Hilton Honors program can enjoy continued perks at this new location). It also welcomes the first tribal casino on its property, Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, with nearly 650 slot machines and 50 table games. More than 1,500 rooms are available throughout three towers, including the all-suite Ruby Tower and the Canyon Tower, which offers sweeping views of the mountains and the 5-acre desert pool oasis.

The pool complex features a two-story dayclub with a Mykonos theme and a stage set for DJ performances; the main pool with upscale VIP cabanas and Mediterranean-style décor; the event lawn, which will welcome concerts and festivals; and The Promenade, dotted with culinary destinations and beachy experiences including Olives from chef Todd English and Hakkasan Group’s Mexican restaurant Casa Calavera.

Delight in the property’s no resort fees rule and complimentary self-parking and free Wi-Fi.
