Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Associated Press
The long-awaited Fontainebleau Las Vegas resort, reminiscent of Miami Beach's iconic Fontainebleau, is set to open on the Las Vegas Strip after more than a decade of delays and ownership changes. The 67-story, $3.7 billion hotel-casino tower is the tallest and newest addition to the southern Nevada resort corridor, second in cost only to Resorts World. The project, initially started in 2007, faced setbacks during the Great Recession and the pandemic. Fontainebleau Development reacquired the project in 2021 and partnered with Koch Real Estate Investments to complete it. The resort features a bowties theme as a tribute to the architect of the Miami resort, Morris Lapidus, and offers over 3,600 rooms, a variety of dining options, and extensive gambling facilities.
