Tonight I am staying at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas for the first time.
Right there you can see I am in the Canyon Tower. Unfortunately I am at the end,
so it's going to be a little bit of a walk for me to the gaming floor here at Mohegan Casino,
attached to Virgin Hotels. Upon entry into the room I chose to turn on all the lights
in the room. Right now I think I'm going to utilize the "do not disturb" option.
Let's take a look inside here.
I gotta say I really like the lighting throughout the entire room.
Here is the bathroom, with the well-lit vanity mirror.
You do have a rain shower, with additional handheld.
And here, behind the curtain is where you will find
plenty of space to store your clothing, your shoes,
and even your money as that is where you will find the safe.
Taking a look at the room itself, this is a Chamber Double Queen.
They were kind enough to give me a free upgrade to the room with a Strip
View. It runs about ten percent more than the price I'll show you later in the video.
These are the standard rooms that you get here at Virgin. Over here you have a JBL
speaker with Bluetooth capability. You have reading lights, four of them to be exact.
I got to say I am really impressed by the lighting in this room
and just, the entire room in general. Like I said, this is my first time staying here.
You have the adjoining room option. Here is the makeup desk in the room.
Two complimentary bottles of water. And there is Carrot Top.
For the morning.
Let's take a look over here at the television.
You don't have a complimentary refrigerator but you do have a mini-bar,
with everything inside obviously available for purchase.
But I think you're better off losing that money on the casino floor so you can get a room like this.
Anything here is for purchase obviously, as well -- including the romance kit.
I did have an unexpected guest here, but I think I'll let them stay. So let's take a
look at what this room cost tonight. This was a base rate of $84 for Tuesday to Thursday night,
per night. That's $11.24 tax per night. $51.02 -- welcome to Las Vegas, Virgin. They gotta stiff you
with the resort fee just like everybody else. $146.26 total. That is per night, for Virgin.
Let's take a look here beside the bed. You do have one beside the other bed,
as well. The option to control the lighting in the room, and you do have plug-ins for your
electronics. Right now to take a look outside let's turn off all the lights in this room.
Or most of them I should say, I guess. To give you an idea, this is east of The Strip,
so it's an off-Strip property. You have a view of MGM Grand, which is a mile drive by car.
Planet Hollywood -- and there they go. See, I told you! And you have Resorts World. Just to
give you an idea of what its costs to get to and from these properties, I looked them up.
Resorts World was $15 for Uber and Lyft. MGM Grand was about $10, as was Bellagio.
So that is pretty much the going rate in Vegas to get around.
Maybe I'll get a daytime view tomorrow to include anything I forgot.
Right now I look forward to getting down to the gaming floor, so thank you for watching.
Having spent the night at Virgin for the first time with my guest,
I would have to say I will certainly return. This room was comped. I had only visited Mohegan
Casino once before, but I had gambled there extensively for a couple hours. If you do that,
like I said in the video last night that I made -- just come here. The price for an Uber or Lyft is
pretty affordable unless of course you run into surge pricing -- as with a holiday or weekend.
Just play a couple hours and get established. You can get a free room like this, maybe even
more if you're a higher roller than I am, anyway. The casino itself is pretty
small by Las Vegas standards, but it has pretty much everything you need.
I definitely recommend it. And for food, try Pizza Forte. It's pretty good.
