Virgin Hotels Reveals Its Entire Lineup of Restaurants and Bars

Virgin Hotels may not have a definite opening day quite yet, but it did release its final roster of restaurants opening at the resort taking over the former Hard Rock Hotel space.

The hotel planned to open on November 6, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, may move that date back and plans to announce a new debut in mid-September.

LA’s Night + Market, the Thai restaurant from chef Kris Yenbamroong, makes its Las Vegas debut. In West Hollywood, Eater LA says the modern Thai restaurant features a “strong menu of drinking food and Thai classics. The pork toro is a must-order, while everything from the khao soi to the pad thai will be some of the best one can find in the city.”

Money, Baby!, from industry veteran and co-founder Justin Massei and Clive Collective, brings a space for watching sports, betting, interactive games, food, and cocktails set in a funky mid-century style. The indoor and outdoor patios merge with the resort’s pools.
