Fontainebleau Las Vegas opens with luxe amenities

Fontainebleau Las Vegas Opening Day Tour – Hotel, Casino, Pool, Restaurants & Super Unique Spaces!

Fontainebleau Las Vegas officially opened on December 13 with a ribbon-cutting grand opening ceremony hosted by Fontainebleau Development.

Jeffrey Soffer, the chairman and CEO of the 67-story luxury venue, led the event. He was joined by executives, local government officials, community dignitaries and VIPs.

Soffer, alongside Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom, received the Key to the Strip during the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“Welcome to the Fontainebleau Las Vegas era. Today, we open our doors to the world and welcome our first guests to experience the pinnacle of luxury hospitality,” Soffer said during the ceremony.

“It’s fitting that Las Vegas is a city of dreams and possibilities, as this resort stands as a symbol of perseverance, our unwavering commitment to excellence, and our belief in the transformative power of genuine, world-class hospitality,” he added.

Both Fontainebleau Development and Fontainebleau Las Vegas earned much recognition from the local government. Senator Jacky Rosen bestowed the Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition, while Representative Dina Titus gave a Certificate of Special Congressional Commendation. Furthermore, the project received an official proclamation from Assemblyman Howard Watts III.

Luxury venue amenities

The 67-story venue features 3,644 rooms and suites, 150,000 square feet of gaming space, a 14,000-square-foot fitness center, and a 55,000-square-foot Lapis Spa designed by Milan-based Lissoni & Partners. The casino area has 1,300 slots and 128 table games, along with 550,000 square feet of convention and meeting space.

Additional amenities include a 96,500-square-foot luxury retail district, a six-acre pool area and 550,000 square feet of customizable indoor-outdoor meeting space. The venue itself is positioned near some of the most well-known resorts in the Strip, Resorts World and Circus Circus.

In November, the Las Vegas resort started accepting restaurant dining reservations before the opening. The property will eventually host 36 restaurants and bars, with some set to open in 2024.

Originally launched as Fontainebleau in 2007, the $2 billion project faced bankruptcy and had to pause construction. After 16 years of dormancy and changes in ownership, Soffer, in partnership with Koch Real Estate Investments, acquired the property in February 2021 for $350 million.
