Litigation between a former tenant at Virgin Hotels shows a lengthy battle over who is responsible for costs associated with a failed restaurant-sportsbook concept.

JC Hospitality, one of the operating partners behind Virgin, and Money, Baby!, a former restaurant at the off-Strip hotel-casino, have been trading complaints in court since July 2022 after the casino operators filed an eviction and breach of lease action against the restaurant.

Money, Baby! was initially billed as a first-of-its-kind concept by the hospitality firm Clive Collective that housed the property’s sportsbook in a nightlife atmosphere when the former Hard Rock Hotel reopened in 2021 under new ownership.
