It’s been announced that the changeover from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino to Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will take place almost a year later than originally planned. Following a sale last year, work on the switch was scheduled to begin early this fall and be completed in the spring of 2020. However, the scope of the project has expanded to the point that construction had to be postponed until February. The property will remain open as the Hard Rock for the first few months of work, then close sometime in the second quarter, with the reopening as Virgin scheduled for November 2020.
