The Virgin is Hilton's sole redeeming new property in the Strip vicinity. I stayed there opening week, and it was really nice, good value, Diamond status appreciated, and even for a new property, the people were squared away. They kept a lot of the former Hard Rock staff (our bartender, front desk person both were former employees, and said a lot stayed on / were called back.) I would go to Virgin anytime, especially now that the new pool complex is open. It's a shame the Waldorf never took off and got their meh product up to par since it opened. It's also a shame some of this new place's budget wasn't put towards fixing existing properties (washed up Tropicana!) Hilton's offerings in Vegas are just cheapening the names of their otherwise mostly-good brands.

I can't help but wonder if the whole national "no one can get good help" pandemic zeitgeist of free-money-to-stay-home is contributing to debacles like we are seeing at the RW.
My airline of choice can't keep rampers and baggage employees leading to horrible waits, many local restaurants have signs pre-apologizing for limited hours and discontinuance of services because they can't get people to show up, etc.
I don't doubt that megaresorts have problems staffing up to the levels they'd need for maintaining huge properties like this at even a minimal level. Add in the heatwave, the "dispensary culture" folks that have started to line the Strip, the crime, and once-shiny Vegas vibe has gone downhill for me.
