Mohegan Casino Las Vegas

Mohegan Casino Las Vegas Review Jump to comments

Mohegan Casino Las Vegas, formerly Hard Rock Las Vegas, can be found within Virgin Hotel Las Vegas, a Curio Collection by Hilton, situated east of The Strip on the corner of Paradise Road and Harmon Avenue, nearby McCarran International Airport. The casino is owned and operated by Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment and is the first Native American sovereign nation to enter Vegas's lucrative resort corridor

In addition to featuring a 60,000 sq ft casino, the Virgin, a part of Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, is not your typical casino hotel that can be found along Las Vegas Boulevard. Instead, visitors will find a laid-back modern design with a nod to its Mojave Desert surroundings. Another anomaly, there are NO PARKING FEES (as of Nov. 2022), which is a considerable savings considering what other Las Vegas casinos are currently charging. And because the hotel is managed by the Curio Collection from Hilton Hotels, guests are able to earn and redeem Hilton Honors points.

There are more than 1,500 rooms or as Virgin refers to them, "chamber rooms," and suites at Virgin Hotel Las Vegas, within three towers - Canyon, Opal and Ruby. Each has its own vibe and features sitting areas with vibrant couches, Virgin's signature beds with built in corner lounger or "nook," gallery hung art, large flat-screen TVs, a bathtub and a shower and more. The all-suite Ruby Tower is the most luxurious and is closest to the spa, overlooking Élia Beach Club. Additionally, guests staying in the west tower have access to a separate entrance and a private lobby off the casino floor, the largest living areas, and amazing views of the Las Vegas Strip.

Other property amenities include 14 restaurants and lounges, including the iconic Nobu, luxury steakhouse MB Steak, and Chef Todd English's Olives; a pool area with two pools, including a regular pool and the Elía Beach Club, with a five-acre pool with event lawn and entertainment stage; 117,000 sq. ft. of flexible indoor meeting and events space; and an indoor live music and entertainment venue operated by AEG Presents with a capacity of 4,500. 

The casino includes a vibrant gaming experience and has something for everyone, with both slots and table games, including player favorites like Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat and Craps, along with a high-limit area and bar-top video poker. A Betfred Sportsbook from UK-based bookmaker, Betfred, is also on-site. 

Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment is also responsible for Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT; Mohegan Pennsylvania in Wilkes-Barre, PA; Inspire located in Incheon, South Korea (targeted to open in 2022); Casino Niagara and Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, ON; ilani in Ridgefield, WA; and Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ.
