$3.7 billion marvel: Redefining luxury on Las Vegas Strip
What's the story
The grand debut of Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a $3.7-billion resort, is scheduled for December 13, concluding a 23-year journey since the land purchase in 2000. This iconic property, affiliated with the renowned Fontainebleau Miami Beach, redefines luxury in the heart of Las Vegas. From high-roller suites to innovative dining concepts, this resort is poised to leave an indelible mark on the city's hospitality scene.
Arrival
A long-awaited arrival
Fontainebleau Las Vegas has been in the making for 23 years, with construction starting in 2007 but halting due to the Great Recession. However, recent deals have breathed new life into this project, bringing it to the brink of completion. The resort occupies 25 acres at the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, making it a standout addition to the city's landscape.
Experience
High-roller suites with a six-star experience
The Fontainebleau Fleur de Lis collection offers an elevated level of luxury, with 76 suites on the top five floors of the 67-story tower. These suites offer stunning panoramic views of the Strip and the Las Vegas Valley, with amenities like billiards tables, wellness rooms, and custom Italian bedding. Rates for these suites start at $5,000 per night, offering a truly opulent experience.
Food
Redefining food and beverage
Fontainebleau has an unconventional approach to its dining, partnering with renowned hospitality experts to introduce exciting concepts. From LIV nightclub to unique restaurants by Michelin-starred chefs and creative luminaries, the resort's culinary offerings will be a game-changer in the local food scene. Cantina Contramar, which opens in 2024, will unite celebrated women in the Mexican culinary and creative communities, creating a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
Relaxation
A haven of relaxation - The Lapis Spa
The resort features the 55,000-square-foot Lapis Spa, designed by Milan-based Lissoni & Partners. Drawing inspiration from the Fontainebleau Miami Beach's Lapis Spa, this oasis offers a variety of treatments, a salt cave, an infrared sauna, hydrotherapy lounges, and a co-ed sensory room. The spa's lighting even mimics the natural light outside, creating a serene and immersive experience.
Entertainment
Entertainment with a twist
Fontainebleau Las Vegas has garnered attention for its entertainment offerings as well. The BleauLive Theater, with a seating capacity of 3,800, will host Post Malone for shows on December 30 and 31. Unlike traditional Vegas residencies, the resort plans to feature artists in limited-engagement runs, reminiscent of the golden days of entertainment when legends like the Rat Pack and Elvis graced Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
