Mohegan Sun Casino at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas has selected Betfred USA Sports to operate its sportsbook, according to a press release. The announcement of this partnership comes one week after Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment unveiled the name and logo for its first Las Vegas destination. The sportsbook will be part of Mohegan Sun Casino Las Vegas' 60,000-square foot gaming venue, located within Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton.

The Las Vegas-based Betfred USA Sports was created in 2019 by Betfred Group specifically to enter the U.S. sports betting market. The Betfred Sports branded Sportsbook inside Mohegan Sun Casino Las Vegas will include luxury seating, a state-of-the-art video wall and over-the-counter wagering, as well as self-serve kiosks. This partnership marks the company's fourth U.S. Sportsbook, following properties in Iowa, Colorado and Pennsylvania. Online sports betting products will accompany each venue location, including in Nevada.

Mohegan Sun Casino Las Vegas' 8-month renovation is currently under way, and the re-imagined Las Vegas lifestyle casino resort is slated to open in fall 2020, subject to regulatory approvals.
