Fontainebleau Las Vegas lays off ‘dozens’ of table game dealers
The $3.7bn Las Vegas strip resort, originally built during 2023, would not provide an exact number of jobs that were eliminated at the property.
Key Points
- Several resorts on the strip, such as Resorts World, Venetian and properties operated by MGM Resorts and Caesars, have scaled back operations or restructured staffing levels in recent months
- Fontainebleau Las Vegas has faced challenges since launching in December 2023, including executive turnover and regulatory investigations into possible anti-money laundering compliance violations
Fontainebleau Las Vegas has reportedly laid off up to 60 table game dealers, joining fellow strip properties such as Resorts World, Venetian and properties operated by MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment in scaling back operations and restructuring staffing levels in recent months.
“We continue to evaluate our business needs and adjust our hiring strategy accordingly,” Fontainebleau said as part of an official statement sent to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“It is a customary practice in every industry and Fontainebleau Las Vegas continues to have a positive impact in the approximate 6,250 current members it employs as well as the multiple vendors and partners associated with the resort.”
Despite refusing to disclose a specific number of jobs eliminated at the property, local reports have stated “dozens” or “as many as 60” table game dealers were let go.

Fontainebleau Las Vegas has faced repeated challenges since opening in December 2023 for a construction cost of $3.7bn, including significant executive turnover and a recently divulged regulatory investigation into possible anti-money laundering compliance violations.
In the process of granting Fontainebleau President Maurice Wooden a two-year gaming license, Nevada regulators inadvertently revealed the ongoing investigation by the Nevada Gaming Control Board for the issuance of credit to gamblers, possibly violating Bank Secrecy Act anti-money laundering practices.
