Connecticut-based Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment will operate the casino at the planned Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, becoming the first tribal gaming company to manage a resort in the nation’s largest commercial gambling market.
The company, which is controlled by the Mohegan Indian Tribe, will partner with Miami-based Virgin Hotels on the rebranding of the off-Strip Hard Rock Las Vegas, which will close in February for more than eight months to transform into Virgin Hotels Las Vegas in 2020.
