"Fontainebleau Las Vegas: The Newest and Grandest Addition to the Strip"

After a development process spanning over 15 years, the Fontainebleau Las Vegas is finally set to have its grand opening tonight. The resort, which features over 3,600 hotel rooms, a 173,000 square-foot casino floor, and a 3,800-seat venue, has faced numerous setbacks, including bankruptcy and the COVID-19 pandemic. The opening night festivities will include a VIP red carpet event, with the doors opening to the general public just before midnight. However, the parking garage and rideshare drop-off will have delayed openings. The resort marks the completion of a project that stood dormant for years, serving as a reminder of the recession's impact on Las Vegas.
