Las Vegas has a brand new multi-branded casino hotel. After more than two years of construction Virgin Hotels Las Vegas opened its doors for the first time shortly before the end of March – and on time Vegas reopened and journey resurgence.

While the Virgin brand is all over the property, most of the casino is operated and branded with Mohegan Sun.. The Betfred Sports Betting takes up a little corner of the casino.

As you step into the former Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, you’ll notice the bright, hip, desert-inspired design of Virgin Hotels. This changes when guests step onto the dark casino floor.

The Vegas Strip property is an odd mix of styles that become the fabric of the property for many visitors. After an early visit, we look forward to more venues at Virgin. Here are five things to keep in mind:

1. Less fees and decent gaming

The new casino and hotel brands are bringing some new ideas to Las Vegas that some visitors will flock to. Virgin Hotels around the world typically don’t impose mandatory resort fees for every night someone spends at their hotels.

This goes on because Virgin Hotels Las Vegas is one of the few casino hotels around does not charge a resort fee. Like most off-strip casinos, Virgin does not charge a fee for self-parking. However, there is a fee for valet parking ($ 6 for up to 3 hours per vehicle, or a maximum of $ 20 per day).

In addition, there is no charge for the fast WiFi service throughout the property.

The game at Mohegan Sun Casino is decent – but not great. Everything Blackjack games Pay 3: 2 when a player is dealt natural blackjack. Everything roulette is single or double zero instead of the triple zero game that comes up more often. This goes without saying for an off-strip casino.

On the other hand, the video poker options are less than desirable. According to vpFREE2The best playable games cost $ 1 per balance instead of a quarter you’d normally find at a casino outside of the Vegas Strip.

2. Restaurants we look forward to

Virgin refreshed almost all of the on-site restaurants. There is a lot of of restaurants in the new property including longtime favorite Nobu. We’re almost looking forward to trying A steakhouse and Skull house.

Morton’s is one of the most famous names for US steakhouses. A steakhouse is the idea of David and Michael Morton. Both bring a huge steakhouse experience to this fun, modern, yet traditional steakhouse.

Casa Calavera replaced Pink taco as a Mexican restaurant in this building. Night club and restaurant connoisseurs Hakkasan Group opened walls and made the room more open. The entrance to the restaurant is full of Instagram-ready places, including outdoor seating with the resort’s pool as a backdrop.

3. Sports betting is coming soon

Betfred will operate the sports betting at the Mogehan Sun Casino. Sports betting initially only shows games. Betfred is on schedule to take bets in person at Virgin or through a sports betting app this summer.

The little traditional sportsbook isn’t the only place you can see and bet on the games at Virgin. A bar, a restaurant and a nightlife area called Money baby! opens in May.

This 15,000 square foot venue used to be a multi-story nightclub. The newly invented space will have a sports betting facility with a bar and restaurant. There will also be a golf simulator, shuffleboard, DJ booth, and more.

4. Virgo rewards

The combination of brands in this property provides more opportunities to potentially earn and leverage rewards throughout the property.

Virgin Hotels Las Vegas is part of the Curio Collection from Hilton. Members of the Hilton Honors Rewards Program can earn and use hotel room awards in Las Vegas and around the world. Unlike other Virgin Hotels, this is the default booking engine for accommodation.

There is another hotel rewards program at the property. Virgin Hotels has its own rewards program called The knowloedge. This is another way to access hotel room discounts and deals. However, visitors must book through the Virgin Hotels website.

Mohegan Sun also has its own rewards program especially for players. Momentum rewards connects the various Mohegan Sun casinos in the USA. This will be the first time players have participated in the Connecticut, Pennsylvania and other Mohegan Sun casinos can earn home rewards for use in Las Vegas

5. Kassi Beach House and Day Club

This European style restaurant and lounge offers a different experience and atmosphere than anywhere else at Virgin. The venue was co-designed Italian and Greek influences on the coast inside and outside.

The indoor and outdoor venue will serve as a link to the day club, which will open shortly. Hospitality Group Wish You Were Here and restaurateurs Nick Mathers, the creator of LA Elephante, run the operations of Las Vegas’ newest day club experience. This venue should also become a summer brunch hotspot.

Virgin has a lot of entertainment planned for this summer. Part of the fun includes this one-of-a-kind day club experience. There’s also the modern sports nightlife and plenty of indoor and outdoor restaurants. However, we look forward to a different venue.

Live music lovers are likely waiting for details on when The theater Concerts are booked in the Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. This new music venue will occupy the same space as The Joint, but will have a different name and will likely book more diverse acts.
