Virgin Hotels Las Vegas is an upcoming 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.

Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, had wanted to enter the Las Vegas casino industry for more than 20 years. Virgin Hotels and a group of investment companies purchased the Hard Rock Hotel for $500 million in March 2018. The Hard Rock closed on February 3, 2020,[2] and Virgin Hotels Las Vegas was scheduled to open on January 15, 2021. However, its opening was delayed to an unspecified date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The casino portion will be known as Mohegan Sun Casino. It will be operated by Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment, an affiliate of the Mohegan Tribe, becoming the first Native American tribe to operate a Las Vegas casino.

History

2018 purchase

The resort originally opened in March 1995, as the Hard Rock Hotel.[3] In January 2018, majority owner Brookfield Asset Management was in discussions to sell the Hard Rock to a group of buyers, including Virgin Hotels, Bosworth Hospitality, and investment firm Juniper Capital Partners.[4] The three companies had partnered together a year earlier to begin looking for an existing casino resort property in Las Vegas.[5] The Hard Rock Hotel sale was finalized on March 30, 2018.[6] On the same day, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson hosted a party-like news conference at the Hard Rock pool,[6][7] announcing that the resort would be renovated and rebranded as Virgin Hotels Las Vegas by the end of 2019.[8][9] The resort would retain the Hard Rock name until the completion of renovations, which would be done in phases, allowing the property to remain partially open.[7][8]

For more than 20 years, Branson had wanted to get into the Las Vegas casino industry.[3][7] At the time of the purchase, the company operated one hotel, the Virgin Hotels Chicago, and there were plans to add approximately 10 more hotels. With around 1,500 hotel rooms, the Hard Rock was the largest property of Virgin's hotels, but it was also small compared to resorts on the nearby Las Vegas Strip. The resort fit Virgin Hotels' desire for a smaller, boutique hotel in the Las Vegas market.[7] The newly renovated resort would compete against newer hotels such as Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Delano, and NoMad.[10]

Richard Bosworth was named as the new chief executive officer of the resort.[7] Bosworth and Juniper Capital were longtime business partners.[5] The two had previously wanted to purchase the unfinished Fontainebleau resort in Las Vegas, and they approached Brookfield as a possible equity partner in early 2017. Plans to buy the Fontainebleau did not work out, and Bosworth and Juniper Capital ultimately began discussions with Brookfield about buying the Hard Rock instead.[11] The resort was purchased for $500 million, in part with a $200 million loan from JPMorgan Chase. Ownership was split between seven investment companies, four of them being Canadian.[12][13] The majority owner was Laborers' International Union of North America's Central and Eastern Canada Pension Fund, which contributed more than $100 million to the purchase of the resort.[12]

Design and renovations

Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will have a modern desert design.[2][14] The design phase was underway in June 2018, with the renovations expected to start no earlier than April 2019.[11] Base Entertainment had been building a stage facility on the property to host The Voice: Neon Dreams, a live stage show. Base Entertainment pulled out of the project following the Virgin purchase, leaving the facility only partially built.[15] In January 2019, a hotel partnership was announced between Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and Hilton's Curio brand. At the time, JC Hospitality had become the majority owner of the resort.[15] JC Hospitality is a joint venture of Bosworth Hospitality, Juniper Capital, and Virgin.[16] It is led by president and CEO Bosworth, and by Virgin Hotels, the latter of which will manage the resort.[15]

Renovation work was originally scheduled to begin and end in 2019, but the amount of work was increased as additional improvements were deemed necessary. During the first year of ownership, Bosworth and the other owners observed how the Hard Rock operated, which helped them in their renovation plans. The design changes increased the cost of renovations from $150 million to $200 million. In April 2019, it was announced that the renovation project would now begin in February 2020,[17][18] with a grand opening celebration at the end of the year.[19] Design work was nearly finished at the time of the announcement. The design team included Klai Juba Wald Architecture + Interiors, Rockwell Group, and Studio Collective. McCarthy Building Companies and Taylor International Corporation were selected as the general contractors.[17][20]

It was announced in August 2019 that the Hard Rock would close entirely for about eight months beginning in early February 2020, to allow for the renovations to take place. Although there were initially plans to keep the resort partially open during renovations, Bosworth said, "We determined that a phased closing of four months, followed by a total closure of four months was not efficient from a construction process nor could we provide a hospitality service experience our guests deserve."[21][22] In September 2019, a deal was announced for Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment, an affiliate of the Mohegan Tribe, to operate the casino at the new resort. It will be the first Native American tribe to operate a Las Vegas casino.[23][24]

Bosworth sought to retain the Hard Rock's 1,850 employees after its closure, through a program that would give them a paycheck bonus if they returned for the opening of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.[25] The resort also signed a three-year extension to continue hosting the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo,[26] although the 2021 expo was cancelled as an in-person event due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[27] A former Hard Rock Cafe building, located on-site, was demolished in November 2019, to make room for valet parking and ride-sharing vehicles.[1][28] The Hard Rock Hotel closed on February 3, 2020, allowing for renovations to begin.[2][29] In July 2020, it was announced that the casino portion would be operated under the name Mohegan Sun Casino.[30]

Opening

In 2019, a grand opening celebration was planned for mid-November 2020, shortly after the U.S. presidential election. The opening date was chosen to increase publicity for the resort, as Bosworth felt that the opening would be overshadowed if it were to occur during the presidential campaign season.[19] The resort was later scheduled to open on November 6, 2020.[31] Construction remained on track despite the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the state.[29][32] However, Bosworth announced in August 2020 that the opening could be delayed because of the pandemic, which had resulted in poor economic conditions. The pandemic had also imposed restrictive health precautions such as limited customer visitation.[32]

In September 2020, Bosworth announced a new opening date of January 15, 2021, as the owners wanted to ensure that pandemic conditions and restrictions continued to improve.[33][34] The resort's pool was scheduled to open in March 2021, followed a month later by an outdoor dayclub.[35] Six weeks before the resort's scheduled opening, JC Hospitality delayed it again to an unspecified date, due to the pandemic.[36] However, Bosworth announced on January 15, 2021 that a statement on the new opening date will be issued shortly.[37]

Features

The resort will include a 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m2) casino,[23] which will have 50 table games, 650 slot machines, and a sportsbook operated by Betfred.[38] The hotel will have 1,504 renovated rooms,[39] spread across three buildings: the Canyon Tower, Opal Tower, and Ruby Tower. The Ruby Tower will be an all-suite building. A mobile app will serve as an optional room key and will also allow guests to order room service or check out. In addition, the app will allow guests to control lights, televisions, and thermostats in their rooms.[40][41] The resort will also have 110,000 sq ft (10,000 m2) of meeting and event space.[14]

Virgin Hotels intended to revive the resort's reputation as a top destination for entertainment.[2] Approximately 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) will be devoted to nightclub space.[42] Vinyl, a music venue at the Hard Rock, will be renamed 24 Oxford, after the first Virgin Records store that was located at 24 Oxford Street in London. JC Hospitality spent $500,000 to revamp the Vinyl space.[43] The Joint, another music venue inside the former Hard Rock, will also be renovated and renamed.[44] A sports bar known as Money Baby will replace the Hard Rock's Vanity nightclub.[33] The five-acre pool area will be surrounded by several restaurants and an event lawn that will host concerts.[45][46] The outdoor, two-story dayclub, separate from the pool area, will feature DJs and electronic dance music.[35]

The resort will feature 14 restaurants.[39] Like other Virgin hotels, the Las Vegas property will include the Commons Club,[47][48] an upscale restaurant and lounge area to be built at the resort's main entrance.[1] The Commons Club will measure 8,500 sq ft (790 m2) and will include 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.[47][49] Chef Todd English will have a Mediterranean restaurant at the resort, known as Olives. The resort will also include a Thai restaurant,[50][51][52] and the Funny Library Coffee Shop.[53] Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will retain the Nobu restaurant, which previously operated inside the resort when it was the Hard Rock Hotel.[51] Nobu will be operated by chef Nobu Matsuhisa.[52] Two other Hard Rock restaurants, MB Steak and Forte Pizza, will also be retained.[19] MB Steak, owned by David and Michael Morton,[52] will receive a $1.5 million expansion,[54] and will be renamed One Steakhouse.[55] Nobu will be expanded as well.[56] Hakkasan Group will operate Casa Calavera, a cantina offering food and drinks.[52][57]
