Las Vegas has a new casino resort, Virgin Las Vegas!<\/p>\n

Virgin officially opened at 6:00 p.m. on March 25, 2021, with all the appropriate hoopla.<\/p>\n

Here she is, the long-awaited Virgin Las Vegas, formerly the Hard Rock casino.<\/p>\n

Big guitars are out, modern desert is in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s been a wild ride for Virgin as it’s transitioned from Hard Rock.<\/p>\n

In a case of uncanny timing, Hard Rock closed Feb. 3, 2020, just a month before all Las Vegas casinos shut down due to the pandemic. A couple of preliminary reopening dates were set, but were pushed back as the pandemic dragged on.<\/p>\n

Now, the doors have flung open at Virgin and we can finally get inside!<\/p>\n

\"Virgin
They’re not sex swings. You are so predictable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We’ve visited Vigin twice since it opened, to get a feel for the place, and it’s certainly unlike any other casino in town.<\/p>\n

Many have commented on the “Austin Powers vibe,” and there seem to be more feminine flourishes than in a typical Las Vegas casino. No, we’re not entirely sure what that means, but when has “understanding something” ever been a requirement for including it in one of our blog posts?<\/p>\n

Opening night was a little crazy, but we got acclimated during on our second visit, and enjoyed dinner at one of the more buzzed-about new restaurants, Night + Market.<\/p>\n

We love having new restaurants and bars to explore, although, not necessarily in that order.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a better look at the menu for Night + Market<\/a> at Virgin Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Our favorite part of Night + Market was our Talesai Mai Tai.<\/p>\n

We figured you’d also want to get a feel for Virgin, so we did a quick walk-through of the resort.<\/p>\n

We didn’t venture outside to the pool complex, but it isn’t done yet, and isn’t expected to be completed until May.<\/p>\n

Here’s our hastily slapped-together video of Virgin Las Vegas. Remember, you get what you pay for!<\/p>\n
