Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in December 2023 in a 67-story tower on the north Strip, with about 3,600 rooms and suites, roughly 36 restaurants and bars, LIV nightclub and LIV Beach, a six-acre pool district and the BleauLive Theater. It is new, stylish and expensive, and it sits away from the center Strip.
Fontainebleau finally opened on 13 December 2023, more than 15 years after construction first started on the site, and it is now one of the newest and tallest resorts on the Strip. It stands on the east side of the north Strip next to the Las Vegas Convention Center's West Hall, with Resorts World, Wynn and Encore nearby. The single 67-story blue-glass tower holds about 3,600 rooms and suites with a light, Miami-inspired look, and higher floors have long views down the Strip or toward the mountains.
Because everything is new, rooms, elevators and public spaces are in better condition than at most Strip resorts. The convention center next door means weekdays can be busy with business travelers, and rates rise sharply during large trade shows. On quiet midweek dates, though, it can be priced close to older luxury resorts, so compare before assuming it is out of reach.
The resort is built around eating and going out. There are roughly 36 restaurants and bars, including Papi Steak, Komodo, Mother Wolf for Roman-style pasta, Don's Prime steakhouse and ITO, a 12-seat omakase counter. LIV, the Miami nightclub brand, runs a 50,000-square-foot nightclub and LIV Beach, a dayclub in the pool area. Lapis Spa covers 55,000 square feet with 44 treatment rooms. Book popular restaurants a few weeks ahead for Friday and Saturday nights, because hotel guests and locals fill them quickly.
BleauLive Theater, a 3,800-seat venue operated with Live Nation, books concerts, comedy and fights, so check the calendar for current dates. The trade-off is location. The center Strip, with Bellagio, Caesars Palace and Paris, is about two miles south, so you will rely on rideshares or taxis for most sightseeing, and traffic on the boulevard can make a two-mile ride take 20 minutes at busy times.
Resorts World is the closest neighbor for extra dining. Expect premium prices for rooms, food and drinks throughout. A nightly resort fee is added to the room rate and parking charges may apply, so compare total prices rather than headline rates before you book.
