Pandemic casino boom in Vegas
Any discussion of the latest and greatest in Las Vegas must start with the city s newest casino resorts.
The latest entry, Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, opened March 25 in a reconceptualized version of the off-Strip space formerly occupied by the Hard Rock Casino Hotel.
This property has more than 1,500 rooms, a 60,000-square-foot casino, a 4,500-seat concert hall and an expansive pool area with a resort pool, a Mykonos-themed day club and an event lawn. While the resort retained Nobu and some of the same restaurants as its predecessor, it also added a lineup of new ones, including One Steakhouse from brothers David and Michael Morton.

Ahead of the full return of the city, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has unveiled a glimpse of what the future of Sin City will look like.
The LVCVA this week gave a first look into the new Las Vegas Convention Center Loop, a new underground transportation system that will help serve the city and its visitors when it opens in June 2021.
The system cost $52.5 million to build and the hope is that it will be able to ease traffic congestion for visitors traveling around Las Vegas’ Resort Corridor from as far north as Downtown Las Vegas and as far south as Allegiant Stadium near the Mandalay Bay. It includes two one-way, .8-mile tunnels and three passenger stations that connect the Vegas Convention Center’s main campus to the 1.4 million square foot West Hall expansion.
