The event concluded with a surprise arrival from the cast of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas’ “Us. Unstoppable.” campaign as they danced their way to the property atop the signature red double-decker bus and then sashayed down the red carpet into the resort.

“There are positive signs pointing to another great Las Vegas comeback. No city does it better than Las Vegas,” said Richard “Boz” Bosworth, president and CEO of JC Hospitality, owner of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. “We are so excited that we have our team members back to work and that our doors are open to welcome back locals and tourists to the city.
