The Fontainebleau Las Vegas has set its opening date for December 13 this year. The luxury resort will be 67 stories, include 3,644 suites, have 150,000 square feet of gaming space and has been in development for 18 years.
Fontainebleau Development CEO Jeffrey Soffer broke ground on the venue in 2007, but had to stop work on the project during 2009. The Fontainebleau Las Vegas has since changed ownership, but ultimately is in Soffer’s hands again along with partner Koch Industries, as of February 2021.
Soffer said in a statement, “With Fontainebleau Las Vegas, we have transcended aspiration and set the stage for a new era of luxury hospitality defined by innovation, sophistication and opulence, with an inextricable link to our roots at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. This building represents a remarkable new chapter in our legacy and will be a beacon for those seeking to indulge in the unforgettable.”
The Fontainebleau Las Vegas has added 36 new restaurant concepts, featuring Michelin-starred chefs, but is also honoring its sister property in Miami by including the Lapis Spa and a lobby bar named after Collins Avenue. The resort also plans to add Fontainebleau Miami’s LIV and LIV Beach nightclub destinations to its Las Vegas venue.
The interior design of the hotel will be blue and gold with the Fontainebleau’s bowtie logo adorning glass chandeliers, drawer handles and casino carpets throughout the property.
Recently, Fontainebleau announced a five-day hiring event, which will begin on September 25 and aim to find 6,500 new team members for its food and beverage and nightlife sector roles. Guests can also begin making reservations at the new property on September 25.
