Construction began on the Fontainebleau Las Vegas way back in 2007. Honestly, I don’t even remember where I was or what I was doing back then. But regardless of how we arrived at this date, we are finally going to see the grand opening of this big, blue building on the north end of the Strip. The date has been set for the doors to open. That date is the 13th of December, which is just over two weeks away. We thought that leading up to the big day you may want to know a little bit about the Fontainebleau…

The smoke caught everyone’s attention at first. The brand new, yet-to-open Fontainebleau Las Vegas was burning? Talk about your bad luck! After sitting empty for over fifteen years and countless delays, could the resort be destroyed before it ever welcomes a guest? Well, let’s slow things down a bit. Yes, there was a fire at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. And yes, everyone up and down The Strip saw the smoke. But the fire was contained to some construction materials on the roof. And truth be known, this was actually a positive for the resort. First of all, this was a two-alarm…

The Fontainebleau will finally open it’s Las Vegas resort this December, if all goes according to plan. And since this particular hotel and casino has been “under construction” since 2007, it had better be one helluva grand opening! It sits on the 24 acres previously occupied by El Rancho and the Algiers. Billions of dollars have been invested into this property, which has changed hands a few times over the years. Now, the 67-story Fontainebleau is preparing to welcome guests to their 3,600 rooms and 420 suites, as well as their 56,000 square-foot spa and salon, and the 14,000 square-foot…

It’s been a mystery on The Strip for fifteen years, but finally we have an opening date set for the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. The doors of the 67-story luxury resort and casino are now set to open in 2023… late 2023. Located at the north end of The Strip, the building sits 25 acres of prime real estate, and the facilities will consist of nearly nine million square feet. And although the project has been stalled for over a decade, the building is still about 75% complete. It’s close to the popular Las Vegas Convention Center, as well as the…

Anyone who has been to Sin City over the past decade has asked: What’s that big, blue Vegas hotel with no name? Well, it was once called the Fontainebleau. And now, it has a new opening date… again. Original plans for the Fontainebleau Resort were announced way back in 2005. Then, after fighting through the real estate crash and a bankruptcy, the property was set to open as the Drew Las Vegas. Understandably then, it is with some reservation that we accept the company’s new promised opening date of October, 2023. This old/new Vegas hotel is now owned by Marriott…
