Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Curio Collection By Hilton

Elizabeth Schreiter

My husband and I chose this hotel for its proximity to the airport because we were only staying one night (while en route to Hawaii) and because it was within walking distance of a bunch of restaurants, shops, and an excellent cannabis dispensary if that’s your jam. (It’s The Grove Dispensary, by the way.) You will see lots of planes flying, which can get loud especially outside, but if you’re a fan of plane spotting you will be in heaven. The property itself is basically a large boutique hotel/casino: it has a smaller footprint compared to a full-fledged resort on the Strip, but it is still quite large. Traveler tip: if you have several rolling suitcases, or even one, avoid walking through the maze of carpeted hallways and opt instead to roll through the outdoor lawn area, as the paved walkways are much easier to navigate. Our room in the Opal tower was nice: spacious, clean, and afforded a good view of the southern end of the Strip as well as the pool area. The bathroom was nice, but the door to the shower and toilet room is comically large. The large door that closes between the bedroom and the bathroom/entryway is nice, but unless you jam the chair at the vanity desk against it, it doesn’t stay open. If you have Hilton Diamond/Gold status, you are eligible for a $15 per person food and beverage credit and it’s good for either Kassi Beach House or the breakfast buffet. We opted for a late lunch at Kassi, and our meals were tasty, elegant, and offered a generous portion for the price. Obviously it’s still a Las Vegas hotel restaurant, but the value for the money was solid. Speaking of the food, however, I didn’t realize when we were booking the room that the local culinary union was on strike here, and I absolutely hated crossing that picket line. I hope management does everything they can to resolve this justly, as the lifeblood of Las Vegas is its impressive hospitality workforce, and they deserve fair pay, benefits, and treatment for everything they do to make the customer experience a special one.

Fantastic stay! We came for the weekend to see a show at the sphere and we saw the sphere right outside our window. Had an amazing large quite. Bed was comfy, had a adorable lit sit down vanity for me to do my makeup and hair and a large shower and tub. Was truly a great room and felt very luxurious. This was the old hard rock and it’s soooo much better as virgin. Will be back!!!

I only stayed for one night, but it was a lovely experience! The hotel is fairly new, so everything looks and feels modern. I received a room upgrade with Hilton Gold status, and it was lovely! Very spacious and clean. Pretty good location if you want a quick drive to the strip or the airport.

Had a great time here except for the Culinary Strike going on at hotel. People yelling at you…. Calling you losers for staying here…. Making it very uncomfortable to walk around property. The Ruby Tower was nice and the staff was beyond in their service from the front desk to the housekeeping. The grounds are lovely…. Will come back… hopefully no more strike going on. Really enjoyed our 3 day stay though. 🩵

Nice deco but room is dirty. Couch has so many dusts and dirts on it. Therefore even with cute furniture the whole room doesn't feel cozy or comfortable. I'm glad I'm only staying 1 night. What is worse is that before I check out I saw poo on casino carpet. I informed the employee but still got grossed out. Probably will not come back again. P.S. I stayed when there was a strike going on. I didn't know about it till about 2 days ago.
