My husband and I love The Virgin for a staycation. It’s off strip but close enough and we always enjoy The Shag Room! Live entertainment, great drinks, and private seating. I don’t know about the main pool but the adult pool is big and offers cabanas. Another great thing about this property is the food! The restaurants are really good. Also, if you like funky, fun, accommodations you’ll love the rooms. This is where ppl that live in Vegas stay (off strip) and the vibe is chill.
Glad to hear your like it Girlmiaful!
I remember passing the hotel on the way back to the airport and was surprised at how out of the way it was. Feels like a weird choice for a brand that I feel tries to appeal to a younger crowd.
You are only the second TH-camr I know of that has not been kicked out of there for filming. So you did good. Glad you got your video.
Great review Chris, Love your channel and your bubbly personality!
Thanks Ireland!
I just stayed there a few weeks ago. I'd give it a little more credit, but this review was spot on. I rented a car, so the free parking was awesome. You can drive to Planet Hollywood's lot and park there for cheap middle of strip; and if I recall I could park at the Venitian for free for the other end of the strip. Oh and so glad it had a Dunkin Donuts right downstairs instead of a lame Starbucks.
Thanks for sharing your perspective Dan! Free parking is certainly a plus
This came at the right time. Planning another Vegas trip and my agent mentioned this as an option. I told him Chris from YP said 2.5 Tophers. Get me a better room!
That's the right choice!
Vegas video!!!!! Everytime u post one, it makes me hungry AF for some vegas
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR HONEST OPINION ON THIS HOTEL. KEEP UP THE AWESOME JOB 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Tracey!
Awesome job Chris.
Thanks Adam
I’m really becoming a serious fan of your excellent hotel reviews. I specially appreciate your honest and insightful opinions and observations based on your firsthand experiences of these establishments. You hit the nail right on the head with respect to the Virgin Hotels’ cons, and I couldn’t agree more with your overall rating. In fact, the place feels like a quintessential Las Vegas vibe killer, and that lackluster casino reminded me of a burial ground for the last of the Mohicans!
Hilarious comment lol...
Thanks Alex. Virgin Las Vegas. The Vibe Killer! :)
@@YellowProductions ;)
Biggest downside is no sports book. That was the only thing that truly disappointed me. Also, pool is on the small side, but the adults only pool wasn't overly crowded. I stayed here a couple months ago. Used the pool (cabana), spa, casino, and about half a dozen of the restaurants. 10 out of 10, would stay again. Great experience. Underrated amenities are the shopping center across the street with a bunch of eateries, and a dispensery. Location isn't a big deal to me. There are hotels on the strip that are over a mile apart and you don't want to walk that either. NBD.
Loving this hotel already! Going to Vegas and want to stay somewhere modern and away from the strip
Great review and I agree. I stayed at Virgin in February, in the Canyon tower in a suite but it was clean at least. I wanted to like the place but the vibe is not quite right. What’s good is it is a Hilton property so you can take advantage if you are a Hilton rewards member. Its location is a challenge. Luckily I had my car to go to the strip. There is a great Mexican bar restaurant on site, and the Spa is awesome too. Not a bad property but does depend on what you are looking for in a Vegas hotel.
Thanks for your perspective Caroline!
Chris,
Love this tight, condensed, and informative format. Loved visiting this hotel when it was the Hard Rock, didn't stay, but loved the eats and memorabilia. Don't know if I'll venture back now that it's the Virgin hotel, definitely won't stay, but so cool to see the new sights through your lens. Have a great one!
vgv
Thanks vgv!
Thank you for the honest review. Well done.
Thanks Carol
We stayed in 11130. Incredible stay. Sooo clean. Not sure why u had such issues with cleanliness. Defn didn’t have the same experience. My group rented 5 rooms. Different areas of the resort. All solid ….. I would highly recommend virgin. Glad I decided not to cancel after watching both ur videos.
Glad to hear your rooms were cleaner than mine!
Great review. The hotel is average at best, but in a place surrounded with strong competition.
Thanks Sir Smith!
still waiting for the updated disneyland 360 walking tour!
I liked it better when it was the Hard Rock. I visited this place in January and like you I noticed it was super dead inside. With a newly rebranded resort one would think it would be at least somewhat busy with people who were curious but no go. Business had better pick up considerably soon or they’re going to go belly up.
thanks Chris !!! We walked thru the Virgin last Feb and really liked the changes they made to the casino, but we also felt like you, that it skewed towards a younger crowd. 20 years ago, we were also alot more amenable to staying off strip ( Orleans and Rio were favorites), but these days we just want to stay on the strip.
Thanks Joe!
Nice review, do you think you have a good view of the strip fireworks on July 4th and New Years Eve?
Hi Sung. Yeah. I think the Canyon tower rooms with a strip view do have a good (but distant) view of the strip
Thanks Chris good show!!!!
Great video! Agreed with everything you said about this hotel. I stayed at this hotel for couple of nights and left disappointed.
Glad it wasn't just me Eric!
I loved your review, thank u!
Thanks Sofiaa!
I'm a Hilton honors member with discounts is it worth it , looking to relax not party ? Thx good review
It’s very relaxing, and that’s what we love about it. We’ve stayed 4 times since it opened.
Thanks for the review . I’m not thrilled about the location either but you mention of 1 or 2 miles , taxi, I didn’t get the obvious joke :) is that because the price is the same regardless where you you in Vegas ?
Thanks Chris. 🙂
Thanks MP!
I have been to Sahara twice. Horseshoe. N rio.. gotta hit this one next. I kind of wanted to check out resorts world as well. Maybe I’ll look at that
Why would anyone need a rechargeable remote control how much battery is that remote using
Yeah. Seems like a weird thing in a hotel room
ja ja no habrá más diversión en el hotel que ver televisión?
Not gonna lie. I have stayed in worse lol
I have too :)
o wow i really want to visit this lovely hotel . great video indeed. yes its was a little far away from the main casino locations , sad about the cleaning and servicing of the rooms. sad about the connecting door
Hard Rock was trashed at its end. Virgin Hotels had left a high expectation of being a boutique style hotel and turned out to be a terminal with guest rooms. That said opportunities to purchase a hotel/resort property do not come up often on or near the strip at a reasonable price so good on them for doing so. There is no excuse for a dirty, unmaintained property. That glass makes me wonder if the sheets were even changed out?
All great points David!
Agree with a lot of your observations. Stayed there end of September 2022. Hotel was not that busy though they were hosting a corporate event. Biggest con you did not mention was its proximity to the airport. I experienced a tremendous amount of noise during the course of the day. You get a break starting at around 11 PM but around 4;30 AM the sound of flights taking off is horrific.
Thanks for that perspective Michael. Both my rooms were facing inside (away from the airport) -- I could imagine the rooms facing the other way would be really noisy
Another informative video, Chris. Thanks. I stayed at Virgin in January of this year but, fortunately, I booked my stay back in November before they started charging a resort fee so that fee was waived for me. So, my nightly rate ended up being just $114 which certainly wasn't a bad deal considering free parking an wi-fi were included. The Thai restaurant in the hotel was quite good, although the food was a little too salty. Guests would be wise to avoid the area across the street from the hotel by White Castle and 7-Eleven at night because it gets a little sketchy in that area after the sun goes down. But, since I prefer staying off the strip, this was perfect for me. Keep up the great work. Safe travels! (By the way, I have stayed in the recently renovated suites at Alexis Park across from Virgin, and they're quite nice for the price.)
Thanks for your report on the Virgin and the Alexis Park!
Hi Chris. Great video tour. It's a nice property, but it doesn't have that it factor to make me want to stay there. Take care.
Thanks James!
Excellent Review. I’d never stay at a hotel that doesn’t keep their rooms in tip top shape!
Thanks Sam
Thanks for your honest and through review .I don't think I will be staying there!
Thanks Alex!
Thank you. Never will stay at this Hotel. Remain at the old Luxor. Greetings Sven & Carmen
Good plan Sven and Carmen. Yeah. I definitely like the Old Luxor better
That is a great thing to know about that hotel! I agree that the hotel quality is not that great. I probably would not stay there anyway due to how far away it is from everything.
Thanks Scott. Yeah. It's too out of the way
It will be interesting to see how they do, especially given the off-strip location. It seems like these off-strip properties that try to be the hip, trendy place are unable to sustain it long-term - Rio, Palms, Hard Rock, etc. Most people want to hang out on the strip or fremont
Yeah. It's a tough spot to be so far off the strip
I looked up the price and it's about $200 or more now with the resort fee.
Yeah, he went when Vegas was still largely shut down and prices were lower across the board.
Oof
Should have brought a black light, would be curious what it shows
Ewwww
hi
is it possible that i and my wife go to DELILAH after dinner,grab a drink each to experience the atmosphere n step out without any cover charges or anything??(if yes what s the best time after 8 30 on a sunday?)
Do they have a sports book yet?
This is VERY different from its “previous life” as the “original” Hard Rock (as The Mirage will soon become the “new” Hard Rock)…The room decor seems nice and modern and very different from what was there (and it was very old and tired back when I stayed there in 2014)…sad to hear that it was disappointing
Hi Chris do they have ⭐ dust
I’m really excited that there’s a seat in the shower lol
Thanks!
Awesome video, Chris! Very surprised to hear about the housekeeping issues. Also surprised to see how desolate things seemed, especially for how hyped this hotel was at opening. Great video as always, thanks so much for sharing your insight.
My pleasure Martina and Joe!
Maybe because of the pandemic 😷, I was in
Vegas during the pandemic. It was rough for the hotel industry.
Good lord that place was empty. I was in Vegas for Thanksgiving at Vdara and Wynn, both were packed.
Afters ice Cream is open Mon-Thu 2pm - 10pm | Fri-Sun 12pm - 12am Interesting this is shown as a 4 Star hotel online
Thanks for the hours. 2pm is a late opening time
GREAT VIDEO YES TOO FAR OFF THE BEATEN PATH
Nice review of Virgin Hotel
💄🐷
Thanks panjo!
The Hard Rock was the place to go from ‘93-‘98.
Bruuuh
A hotel with Dunkin gets a 6 stars from me 👌
The Virgin Hotel has been around for a while now. This review is long overdue.
Do they have a big casino ?
It's pretty small
Thanks Chris, this seems like a nice hotel in isolation however it's location is seriously going to hinder it's success.
Yeah.. it's a tough spot
I visited the VIrgin hotel and after I arrived they almost thought about changing the name. 🤣
I have stayed at the HRH multiple times as I loved the vibe & decor, especially the pool area. From watching this video, it looks like Virgin did a poor job of keeping the hotel fun. I also think they have ruined the pool area.
It's one room , not every room . Multiple housecleaning people, could been off staffed.
Agree that 1 room could be an anomaly.. except they moved me from this room. To another room in another tower.. that was also dirty. But it was also a year ago.. so things could've certainly improved in the housekeeping department since then
Virgin Hotel Las Vegas: We will not charge a resort fee.
Virgin Hotel Las Vegas a little later: We lied, we are going to charge one of the largest resort fees out there.
Overall not impressed at all with this place so unless I got a fantastic price - - oh wait have to add the resort fee never mind I would not stay there.
Yeah. Their about face on the resort fee is way lame
💜💜💜
I walked in and walked right out. There was nothing that made me want to stay there or gamble there.
They are really going to struggle.
I stayed in this hotel last month. It’s so noisy at the night time because too close to airport. Won’t stay there in the future.
Thanks for your report Paddy Man. Yeah. Needs more soundproofing
The Virgin brand damaged itself irreparably during the pandemic with the way it treated customers.
The name is tainted.
Some of us will never use anything branded 'Virgin' again, it's become a byword for poor quality, value for money and service.
It's not as good as it likes to think it is and I'd be surprised if this place lasted long.
I think this is lowest rating you gave a newer hotel
Probably is
Virgin hotels? I didn’t realize some hotels were geared to such specific clientele.
😝
Hah
UGH looks so cheap and dirty. NEver.
Love your videos and I have seen many of them! But with this video I realized that you might be a little soft or fussy or wussy or ladylike. Your take on that, please? I mean that I could understand a girl whining about a torn coaster, but a man? Is it possible that you are in the closet?
First
The cheapest way is always dangerous...
For sure Gilberto!
