I love the virgin hotel. It’s a nice smaller size which feels relaxed. The restaurants are fab and the beach club - is it done? - is amazing. Saw sofi tukker there! The whole place is just good vibes. I even stayed there alone once and I think it’s great for solo work-cation traveler.
Looks like a nice place to stay for the right people but not most people. If you have been there and done everything in Vegas 10 times and just want a nice casino with a great pool and bars to enjoy a few days the Virgin looks excellent. Though it is much further off strip the Red Rock does a better job for this type of visitor. It would be a disservice to steer really cool neighbors or friends who have never been to Vegas before into this hotel. Its all location location location if you plan on spending time on the strip. There is something magical about being at a middle of the strip property and being able to leave your hotel in either direction with most of the best of Vegas within a short walk.
Husband and I spent four nights there two weeks ago and really liked it. After a conference at the MGM we were looking for a more peaceful setting. Loved the smoothie bar next to the gym, loved the sand beach pool, loved that the casino was not full of cigarette smoke because there were few players, loved that the rooms and grounds were in pristine condition. The place came to life on the weekend. We walked back and forth to the strip each day which felt safer when we were with a group of walkers. For anyone looking for more tranquility, space and relaxation with a funky boutique hotel vibe, this is the resort for you.
I stayed here in January '22 just under $60. INSANE VALUE! The whole property has such a kitchy '60's vibe as seen in Ruby's walkthrough. I think it struggles because of its location but it's certainly worth it.
I think when it first opened they didn't charge resort fee, so it was ok being so far off strip, but now have to pay $45 for resort fee which is higher than some of the strip properties, so there is really no reason to go there unless one is Hilton gold or diamond that at least get daily food credit to offset part of the resort fee
I worked on the conversion from Hard Rock to Virgin. The art in the back of the house tunnel from the south tower to the north is off the hook awesome! The employees painted murals of music legions. I’m glad Virgin decided to keep it. You should ask for a tour of That! ❤️
We just finished our stay Sunday until Wednesday. We’re in our fifties and non-gamblers and wanted to say somewhere nice. The music playing hotel-wide was hip and at a moderate volume. People at the bar and the gym were happy. The Mexican restaurant and ice cream parlor were great. Everything still looked, felt and smelled new and clean. It’s off-Strip and quieter but we loved it. Virgin designs their standard room impeccably. We stayed two nights the prior week at the Linq around the same price point - although a better location, it was loud, a little chaotic, and the room looked, felt and smelled old and dirty.
I used to work there! I was on the opening team for the hotel, back when one of their big marketing things was street pricing for the mini bar and no resort fees. Yep you can take the sheep :D
Ok ruby, I am a frequent visitor at Virgin’s hotel once a month and it’s by far my favorite place! I always stayed at hard rock back in the day too but VIRGIN just has a different great vibe! Please go try ONE when you are there . Service and food is just so good and the ambience there is so cool. I have a players card there and I get to stay on the “ruby” tower and the rooms are more quiet during summer because it can get loud there with the DJ pool side but other than that, it’s such a Palm Springs vibe there. Love love love that you gave this place a shout and a good review!! Casa calvera is so so yummy too ❤
I agree here. It’s way way underrated. I liked what I saw. I don’t mind too if there is less people. I like it more quiet. Everything looked nice. The room, the restaurant, bars, etc. I think it might have to do with the location. As they say, location is everything. It’s too bad. This place deserves more love.
I stayed at the Virgin this past February and thought it was a great place. My room was very similar to yours, however, I had a small wooden stool in the shower that was used as a shelf. My only complaints are that the room I was in was along Paradise Drive and I was awoken both night by sirens. Next time, I will ask for a room with a pool view. Also, I think the resort fees were insanely high. On the bright side though, it still had free parking. I would definitely stay there again.
I really enjoyed your video of the Virgin Hotel. The room looked big and spacious and the inside/outside seating for the restaurants was a great idea by Virgin Hotels. The Shag Room looks like fun also. Its a challenging location because its about 1.5 miles east of the Strip and hopefully they can try and cater to Vegas locals to get more customers in the casino.
I stayed at Virgin in January of last year while I was in town on business. Think I got a pretty good deal. $114 per night for a junior suite in a tower with its own separate check-in lobby. They waived the resort fee because I had booked the room before they started charging resort fees. Nice decor, fun environment and I prefer staying off-strip so it was perfect for me. Don't wander around outside at night as a lot of homeless people gather at the 7-Eleven across the street and it's kind of sketchy. Overall, a good experience at Virgin.
@@crunchers9 There's a strip mall with a Dunkin, 7-Eleven and some other eateries, but I don't remember seeing a strip club. But, then again, I wasn't really looking for one, so there could have been.
Thank you for this review! I’ll be staying at Virgin in less than a month for the first time. I can always depend on you for candid and honest reviews. I can’t wait to check it out!
I just hope your are able to come into Reno and experience the hotels and casinos in this area, especially since we have a different scenery than in Vegas.
Very cool room. When you put Cheap in your title, your numbers of views go nuts 😆. We all wanna save in Vegas. No one shows this casino much. Very nice video and it’s such a classic design. Very nice👍🍀🎰😻
Take the sheep. The one regional hotel group here in PA puts logoed rubber duckies in the bathrooms and they expect you to take them, they are advertising write-offs and a really smart way to market their hotel.
I stay at Virgin 4-5 times a year. I LOVE it there! The staff (many long-time staffers from the Hard Rock days) are the BEST! Great property, Great people!
A good alternative to no personal fridge, check out those powered soft sided coolers. While it could be a packing issue, many will kind of lay flat. You plug them in and while they take a long time for a warm item to cool, they will keep it ice cold eventually and work very well with prechillled items as well. I suppose one could also just use their ice machines to fill a sealed cooler bag and put items in there. Thank you again for the videos!
When I go to Vegas just pass this one by, but the layout, pricing, and what they have to offer looks great. I am just spoiled having a fridge in my hotel.
I love what they have done with this resort, the decor is beautiful. But the problem they have is it's not on The Strip. The reason people came here when it was the Hard Rock is because it was so different than The Strip hotels. This place was packed all the time every time I went there as a local to see concerts or eat at a restaurant.
Decor looks kind of 70's to me but a modern 70's if that makes any sense. I like your Stardust shirt. I have one too that I bought at the Stardust when my brother and I stayed there.
Since I visit Vegas quite a few times a year I’ve meet up with friends after there done with work, usually after midnight, when that was Hard Rock and always liked the vibe there . I’m excited to see what it’s like now, thanks for the review
We stayed here March '22 & they were having Widespread Panic concerts all weekend. It was lively & a good time. I wasn't there for the concert but met a lot of the people that were. I'd stay again
Nice looking property. I'd definitely consider a stay. Hey Ruby - now that y'all live in Nevada, how bout doing a series on Reno casinos and restaurants???? I'd LOVE it!!!
We stayed there when it was the Hard Rock and now that it's the Virgin. We always liked the size of the rooms and the restaurants. We don't lobe the new restaurants as much as the old ones though. We do stay in the Ruby Tower. It's more expensive but the rooms are so much bigger. There is also a huge soaking tub. It's amazing.
The shag room...I believe you can make reservations. I would always hang out at those little bars with the free entertainment back in the day. Need more of those again... they are a lot of fun.
I've read that they do not allow any outside food or drink into the rooms. If that is true, that is a deal-breaker for me. I hate to be forced to pay resort fees and then forced to only eat and drink what they overcharge for.
That is not a deal there at all. I’ve brought in bags of food, water, and other things with no issue. My friend thought the smart water was the free water, not the Virgin branded mini bottles. She drank one and was able to talk to the front desk about replacing one from a nearby CVS and didn’t get charged the crazy $10 bottled water fee.
Thank you for all the reviews for Vegas. I haven't been to Vegas in about 10 years. Going online and looking at website reviews, they are all over the place. I couldn't decide on a casino. So I thought I would try something different. I'm going to the U2 Concert at the Sphere and was looking for a place within walking distance. If you pull up a map and go down there are a couple of places off the strip, but close. I chose Tuscany Suites and Casinos. I don't think I will be the only sphere customer looking this way. Could you do a review on Tuscany Suites?
OOoh, there's the HOFBRAUHAUS! Such delicious food there, and the beer is so good! It's a fun place for dinner. Then we always walk across the street to the Virgin for cocktails.
That's actually a pretty good off Strip area, just south on Paradise is Naked City Pizza which I really love and I'm a big dive bar fan and Double Down Saloon is almost across the street from Naked City.
I am just finishing building the new Virgin Hotel in Glasgow Scotland, I am in charge of the plumbing etc, we have a Shag room here too lol, the decoration not exactly the same but very fresh and modern as well. The food here is amazing as well and again the staff are the best, super helpful. I hope your video will encourage ppl to go to this one in Vegas.
Ugh, I just hate that, when there's no shelf in the shower, so you have to set everything down on the floor. I use facial soap in a bar, so always have to balance the bar on the top of my shampoo bottle. Also, if I owned the Virgin, I'd want it to be easy for people to come to my resort, so I'd get a mini van and offer free rides to and from the Strip. That would be a great way to get people to the Virgin.
There is normally a little wooden stool in the shower. We stayed recently and that exact room but a floor or 2 up. The products were sat on the stool in the shower and more at the sink. We are going again in June so I'll report if they still have stools but we were there a little over a month ago and they did. We didn't get that cute sheep though 🤣
That is one of the dumbest thing I've ever read in the comment section. so you want to willfully take people away from spending money at your resort?? that's some keen business sense you have there.
Wow this place looks incredible. Even thought it’s off strip I’ll still consider staying here. This area is up and coming and should become apart of the strip in the next 15-20 years.
@ThuggyMacho that's what was 10 years ago. Walking to planet Hollywood you have to be careful, and towards flamingo on Paradise you go by the drugged out homelesd encampment which used to be the old Key Largo. All kinds of crazies pop outta there. I mean it is real life/ true Americana... but I doubt it's up and coming anywhere 😆
@@renocool1558 you’ll see in 10 years from now if you’re young enough. I’m sure they said that about the strip originally when it was just downtown and look it now.
Hi Ruby love the restaurants you showing food the places are huge and spectacular wow. Good to know places that are off the strip Sometimes I I like it quiet. With not so,any people around by pool etc.
Nice looking property, the time we walked through there in Nov. 2022. But I'm not sure how it's staying afloat given that most days you could throw a bag of grenades in any direction and not kill anyone. Restaurants were empty. Pool empty (back when I stopped by in August 2022). Gaming areas essentially empty. Employees seem apathetic and disinterested. They don't tier match, which would go a long way towards attracting players such as myself who are gold at MGM and president at Station. They need to make some changes to get backsides in the door.
I stayed at the Hard Rock twice and stopped by on every trip, those guys had a definite niche. Gonna be tough for Virgin to match that. However my wife works for Hilton. The place looks fabulous and it's now on the radar. Very good rates when compared to Strip properties and no resort fees for employees!
maybe worth a shot if I go again. As far as the sheep, ask at check outfit they say no, give it back to them there. may have tracking device if other stuff comes up missing from your room such as robes or pillows etc.
I stayed at the Fitzgerald when Vegas was sold out for Chavez vs Taylor I at the LV Hilton and my sister laughed at me, a so called baller back in the day. A big advantage of staying in the last tiered Hotels are the black jack tables.
I was just there over the weekend and LOVED IT! I liked that it was quiet but still had a casino, great pool, relaxing outdoor area, coffee bar, big rooms, and great restaurants- will stay again!
I've stayed at the hotel both recently and when it was the Hard Rock. I personally preferred the Hard Rock for the Casio/food but the rooms are much better with the refurbishment.
Thoughts on the Virgin Hotel? Would you stay here?
I'd stay there
Yes! I'd rather stay here than many of the strip hotels.
I love the virgin hotel. It’s a nice smaller size which feels relaxed. The restaurants are fab and the beach club - is it done? - is amazing. Saw sofi tukker there! The whole place is just good vibes. I even stayed there alone once and I think it’s great for solo work-cation traveler.
I absolutely would, if they didn't charge on-strip pricing, for the weekends. IE the day that I want........$314.00/night.

Stayed in Dec for $47. It's aight. I'd rather pay 2x or 3x and get a proper Vegas experience

Loving your Stardust T-shirt, Ruby!!! A property still missed by many today! 😍
My first time in Vegas was in November of 2021 and this is where we stayed. We loved it. Awesome review
Sometimes when you're in Vegas you need a quiet sanctuary. Nothing wrong with peace and quiet.
I really enjoyed your video of the Virgin Hotel. The room looked big and spacious and the inside/outside seating for the restaurants was a great idea by Virgin Hotels. The Shag Room looks like fun also. Its a challenging location because its about 1.5 miles east of the Strip and hopefully they can try and cater to Vegas locals to get more customers in the casino.
totally underrated. it gets a bad rap because the walk to the strip isnt really the safest. soooo crime there but the resort itself is so awesome.

I just hope your are able to come into Reno and experience the hotels and casinos in this area, especially since we have a different scenery than in Vegas.
And my only question for you is, “did you finally take the sheep?”
AND THANKS FOR THE CONTENT
I’ll book the room there just cause of you
Great video. Love the Virgin Hotel and Casino. Great rooms and one of the best pools in Las Vegas.
I always enjoy Ruby's Vegas videos. Always a comprehensive look at Vegas hotels.
Very cool room. When you put Cheap in your title, your numbers of views go nuts 😆. We all wanna save in Vegas. No one shows this casino much. Very nice video and it’s such a classic design. Very nice👍🍀🎰😻
So...did they let you take the sheep or not?!?! 😀
I’m trying to figure that out
Take the sheep. The one regional hotel group here in PA puts logoed rubber duckies in the bathrooms and they expect you to take them, they are advertising write-offs and a really smart way to market their hotel.

There's a 24 HR CVS across the street which helps
Also at some locations (we did at MGM Grand) you can ask for a fridge for medical reasons!
@@justyceburneywhen you asked for a mini fridge did they allow you to have one ??
@@jeromeseguin3530 yes, but you have to say for medical reasons for it to be free
@@justyceburney did they ask for proof?
The mirrored escalator area impressed me. Gooorgeous!
I have to be honest. I miss the old Hard Rock in the worst way. That was our weekend hot spot. Awesome vibe and many stories 🙃
The room is giving me the colorful 70's vibe 👍
Todd English olives use to be in Belligio. I missed it when they closed. So glad they are back in vegas.
Ditto^^^
I love it SO much!! The Tiffany is one of my all time favorite martinis in history.
Mine is Life is Fresh!!!!
Love Mr Ruby's slow pan and vlogging style. Nice team!
I LOOOVE IT !!!! Finally a hotel with style and different !!!
Wow, never would have thought about Virgin. I am now. Great job!! Oh, hope you took the sheep.
My wife and I love your channel! Hope to run into you in October or December when we come into town for The Postal Service and Depeche Mode.
Minor minor comment! Lol! I love your music in between shots! It gives me a happy boost after a stressful day!
When I go to Vegas just pass this one by, but the layout, pricing, and what they have to offer looks great. I am just spoiled having a fridge in my hotel.
It was fine to walk in February when we stayed there
We’re staying here Memorial Day weekend, pretty excited.
One of the hotel towers there is called the Ruby Tower
It is really good value for money and the walk to the strip is not too bad, rooms and pools are great, have stayed there twice already.
You are so right about being underrated - enjoyed my time there
I love what they have done with this resort, the decor is beautiful. But the problem they have is it's not on The Strip.

Good afternoon ms ruby. The virgin is a beautiful place. ❤😊🎉
What's that number for?
Love the Star Dust Shirt That was my go-to place for years. Hate its gone. Yes I would stay here
It's one of my favorites hotels and Vegas ❤❤❤❤❤
Decor looks kind of 70's to me but a modern 70's if that makes any sense. I like your Stardust shirt. I have one too that I bought at the Stardust when my brother and I stayed there.

I walked in to check the place out a few months ago it’s a ghost town it’s the new lucky dragon
1:08 Wow, that takes me back. Sample of ‘Just Call’ by Sherrick on the soundtrack 👌🏼
I’ve stayed here multiple times and loved it. I think it’s under rated too. They throw some great pool parties and gambling there is relaxing
We stayed here March '22 & they were having Widespread Panic concerts all weekend. It was lively & a good time. I wasn't there for the concert but met a lot of the people that were. I'd stay again
Nice looking property. I'd definitely consider a stay. Hey Ruby - now that y'all live in Nevada, how bout doing a series on Reno casinos and restaurants???? I'd LOVE it!!!
Great review! I will def check it out next visit!
Awesome review "Ruby" I would have never thought about this hotel. Will definitely have to visit.
I like your dances in the elevator 🤪
I stayed here in July, Tuesday thru Friday. I liked that it wasn't really crowded and the pools/layout was nice. I would stay here again.
We stayed there when it was the Hard Rock and now that it's the Virgin. We always liked the size of the rooms and the restaurants. We don't lobe the new restaurants as much as the old ones though. We do stay in the Ruby Tower. It's more expensive but the rooms are so much bigger. There is also a huge soaking tub. It's amazing.
TRED: Travel Ruby Elevator Dance always awesome 👏🏼
Todd English's Olives used to be in the Bellagio where Wolfgang Puck's is now. They used to do an amazing charcuterie board.
ill never forget the old days when the hardrock was THE place to stay and party. the rxhab beach parties were EPIC.
The shag room...I believe you can make reservations. I would always hang out at those little bars with the free entertainment back in the day. Need more of those again... they are a lot of fun.
I've read that they do not allow any outside food or drink into the rooms. If that is true, that is a deal-breaker for me. I hate to be forced to pay resort fees and then forced to only eat and drink what they overcharge for.
i’ve stayed there and ordered doordash that i just picked up from my driver at the main entrance and no one said anything! 🥰
As a former employee, we never cared even if you brought a whole cooler to check in.
False , we brought case of water and gatorade plus bags of snacks
That is not a deal there at all. I’ve brought in bags of food, water, and other things with no issue. My friend thought the smart water was the free water, not the Virgin branded mini bottles. She drank one and was able to talk to the front desk about replacing one from a nearby CVS and didn’t get charged the crazy $10 bottled water fee.
that's for the pool. Not the rooms
Looks like a wonderful place to stay.
LOVE your music.
The carpet is trippy!
Thanks for letting us know the table limits. I will definitely check it out.
Thank you for all the reviews for Vegas. I haven't been to Vegas in about 10 years. Going online and looking at website reviews, they are all over the place. I couldn't decide on a casino. So I thought I would try something different. I'm going to the U2 Concert at the Sphere and was looking for a place within walking distance. If you pull up a map and go down there are a couple of places off the strip, but close. I chose Tuscany Suites and Casinos. I don't think I will be the only sphere customer looking this way. Could you do a review on Tuscany Suites?
That's one of my favorite properties. Huge rooms and bathrooms. Great pool. It is a very quiet and peaceful property.
love that vanity mirror
OOoh, there's the HOFBRAUHAUS! Such delicious food there, and the beer is so good! It's a fun place for dinner. Then we always walk across the street to the Virgin for cocktails.
That's actually a pretty good off Strip area, just south on Paradise is Naked City Pizza which I really love and I'm a big dive bar fan and Double Down Saloon is almost across the street from Naked City.
I’m definitely staying here on my next Vegas trip. Thx Ruby!
Hi Ruby wonderful having the time of your life wow awesome thanks for sharing 💕🍰☕️
So happy you did this one!! I knew Virgin was doing it right and people are sleep on them!!
I am just finishing building the new Virgin Hotel in Glasgow Scotland, I am in charge of the plumbing etc, we have a Shag room here too lol, the decoration not exactly the same but very fresh and modern as well. The food here is amazing as well and again the staff are the best, super helpful. I hope your video will encourage ppl to go to this one in Vegas.
Ugh, I just hate that, when there's no shelf in the shower, so you have to set everything down on the floor. I use facial soap in a bar, so always have to balance the bar on the top of my shampoo bottle. Also, if I owned the Virgin, I'd want it to be easy for people to come to my resort, so I'd get a mini van and offer free rides to and from the Strip. That would be a great way to get people to the Virgin.
They don't want people leaving to gamble someplace else which is why they don't offer a shuttle.
There is normally a little wooden stool in the shower. We stayed recently and that exact room but a floor or 2 up. The products were sat on the stool in the shower and more at the sink.

They used to have a shuttle when it was the Hard Rock.
@@jamespappas3366 But it works both ways, not just one way. They’d be shuttling people to the resort too.
That sample of *Just Call" by Sherrick. Love that tune!
i really liked the hard rock hotel there too the only knock was the location
Love the music in your vlogs
lol the whole video i was like.....do you get to keep the sheep tho??😂
I LOVE Espresso martinis, so have them wherever I go, but the most delicious ones I've had so far are at Centre Bar in the Mirage.
we stayed at Virgin before and we actually like it. pretty quiet and nice
Thanks for your video...I will be booking for Oct for my birthday
Wow this place looks incredible. Even thought it’s off strip I’ll still consider staying here. This area is up and coming and should become apart of the strip in the next 15-20 years.
I liked the HR, but the area is ghetto big time.
@@renocool1558 it’s only a street over from the strip really close to piranha strip club. It’s up and coming so there isn’t much there yet.
@ThuggyMacho that's what was 10 years ago.

@@renocool1558 you’ll see in 10 years from now if you’re young enough. I’m sure they said that about the strip originally when it was just downtown and look it now.
I love the restaurants and beach club at The Virgin!! I’ve been meaning to stay there eventually!
We just left there Friday, only complaint is no fridge. Also we had a suv for the week
Hi Ruby love the restaurants you showing food the places are huge and spectacular wow. Good to know places that are off the strip Sometimes I I like it quiet. With not so,any people around by pool etc.
Stayed there a couple of yrs ago. It was awesome.
Loved my stay here back in December!
I agree with you Ruby. I also think that McDonald's coffee is the best, or the strongest.
Nice looking property, the time we walked through there in Nov. 2022. But I'm not sure how it's staying afloat given that most days you could throw a bag of grenades in any direction and not kill anyone. Restaurants were empty. Pool empty (back when I stopped by in August 2022). Gaming areas essentially empty. Employees seem apathetic and disinterested. They don't tier match, which would go a long way towards attracting players such as myself who are gold at MGM and president at Station. They need to make some changes to get backsides in the door.
Im still bumd tht the hardrock left tht location..but? Loks cool..
I stayed at the Hard Rock twice and stopped by on every trip, those guys had a definite niche. Gonna be tough for Virgin to match that.
However my wife works for Hilton. The place looks fabulous and it's now on the radar. Very good rates when compared to Strip properties and no resort fees for employees!
maybe worth a shot if I go again.
As far as the sheep, ask at check outfit they say no, give it back to them there. may have tracking device if other stuff comes up missing from your room such as robes or pillows etc.
One of the absolute best, most sleeped on hotels in Vegas!!
So cute ruby luck coming your way
I stayed at the Fitzgerald when Vegas was sold out for Chavez vs Taylor I at the LV Hilton and my sister laughed at me, a so called baller back in the day. A big advantage of staying in the last tiered Hotels are the black jack tables.
Looks like a chill place to stay 💪🎰
For some reason, it kind of reminds me of the Palms a decade or so ago.
I saw your twin walk by at 4:08.
I was just there over the weekend and LOVED IT! I liked that it was quiet but still had a casino, great pool, relaxing outdoor area, coffee bar, big rooms, and great restaurants- will stay again!
Love your videos! Can you please do a video on the best pet friendly hotels in Vegas including fees? Thanks!
The Virgin offers PET ROOMS 💛🐾
I've stayed at the hotel both recently and when it was the Hard Rock. I personally preferred the Hard Rock for the Casio/food but the rooms are much better with the refurbishment.
