Inside the $3.7bn Fontainebleau – the tallest hotel on the Vegas Strip

Posted on by samaracheshire

It cost $3.7billion (£2.9billion), is the tallest occupiable building in Nevada and took 16 years to complete. 

Now the long-anticipated Fontainebleau resort is finally open.

After a painful development period that saw the casino sit idle, 70 per cent complete, for a decade when funding stalled, the 67-story hotel tower opened its doors to the public on the 13th of December, 2023. 

With 3,644 rooms and standing 737ft (224m) tall, the mammoth property is now an unmissable part of the Las Vegas Strip landscape. Was it worth the wait?

TravelZork, which specialises in Las Vegas accommodation and casino reviews, sent Marc Meltzer (@MeltzVegas) on a secret shopper review to put the hot new spot through its paces. He stayed for two nights during the Christmas holidays, when the hotel was at minimal occupancy. His verdict? The enormous resort is enjoyable enough, but still finding its feet.

Teething problems: One of the restaurants Marc visited, Vida, offered menus with nothing printed on them (above, a picture Marc tweeted of the error), a sign the hotel was still finding its feet. And advertised as opening at 6am – it didn’t open its doors until 7am, he noted 

‘My first overnight stay at Fontainebleau Las Vegas was a mixed bag,’ writes Marc in his review. ‘Feelings ranged from dealing with new casino opening problems to I love this place! Fontainebleau is new, and not all processes are working at 100 per cent.’

Some of the quibbles Marc had of the hotel he puts down to teething problems, such as incorrect opening hours advertised for restaurants, or glitchy Wi-Fi. One restaurant he visited had completely blank menus.

Staying in the smallest of the hotel’s three available room sizes, a ‘Bleau’ room (also available are Gold and Platinum, the largest and most luxurious suites), Marc compliments the 500-square-foot space for being ‘pretty and comfortable’ and he gives a firm nod of approval to the bed headboard – ‘the star of the bed’ – which he notes had outlets for charging multiple devices on either side.

But he feels the design is anonymous – ‘the modern room design feels like something you’d see on most HGTV [an American cable network dedicated to home renovation programs] design shows’.

And with hotel rates starting at $300 (£239) a night, you might hope, he says, for more than rooms that ‘feel more cozy than luxurious’.

What’s more, the view wasn’t much to write home about – the empty Las Vegas Festival Grounds and an empty parking lot for the All Net Arena. 

Not quite the razzle-dazzle one might expect. 

Marc reveals what was promised and what was delivered.

He writes: ‘According to the Fontainebleau website, the Bleau rooms only come with a mountain view. We requested a Strip view and ended up with a little bit of both.

‘Technically, the Las Vegas Festival Grounds and empty lot for All Net Arena are on the Vegas Strip. Likewise, I can see the mountains to the west.’

Marc wasn’t too fazed, though: ‘I don’t spend much time looking out the windows, so this isn’t a big deal for me. The Gold rooms have views of the pools, mountains, and/or Vegas Strip if you’re looking for the best view.’ 

Marc is more fulsome in his praise for the hotel’s food and drink options. With 16 full-service restaurants and seven more ‘casual’ eateries in the Promenade (36 bars and restaurants in total) he couldn’t visit them all in his 48-hour stay, but was delighted with those he did.

He declares a slice of pepperoni pizza ($9/£7) from Miami Slice ‘delicious… the small pepperonis were ample and crispy’. At the other end of the financial spectrum, he was also impressed with the NY Strip Steak ($80/£63) he ate at Don’s Prime Steakhouse, which he says was a ‘perfect medium rare plus’.

He adored his visit to ‘Nowhere’ bar, a bustling spot where a live jazz band played old standards and the drinks were reasonably priced, while a room service breakfast of bacon and eggs was delivered speedily and proved delicious ($40/£31).

Taking to the complex’s vast casino floor (Fontainebleau has 1,300 slot machines and 128 gambling tables) Marc notes that while the staff were friendly the minimum stake for games seemed to fluctuate with little rhyme or reason.

He notes: ‘Table minimums seemed to change often. I was at one Pai Gow Poker table where the minimum went from $15 to $25.’

Much was written about the design of the Fontainebleau ahead of its opening. ‘Art, architecture, and design are key components of our Fontainebleau culture and guest experience,’ Brett Mufson, Fontainebleau Development president, said in a statement ahead of the opening. After his visit, reviewer Marc concludes the complex was ‘beautiful but there’s no soul’.

Putting aside his concerns about the property’s teething problems, this was his major issue with his stay – the Fontainebleau seems to lack a sense of identity.

He argues: ‘Fontainebleau is a massive property that doesn’t have much of a vibe yet. That will take time to develop.

‘I have mixed feelings about Fontainebleau after spending 48 hours at the property. It’s usually somewhat easy to see the vision of a casino after one walk-through. I still don’t have a vision for the future of this property.

‘Frankly, nobody does. There will be changes large and small over the next few years.’

‘Art, architecture, and design are key components of our Fontainebleau culture and guest experience,’ Brett Mufson, Fontainebleau Development president, said in a statement ahead of the opening. This sculpture is titled History of Suspended Time and stands at one of the entrances

According to Marc, the Fontainebleau’s size seems to work against it having a ‘vibe’. ‘The property is beautiful, but it also feels like an airport or mall at times… there are also wide-open spaces around the property that feel cold. It’s almost like the building has too much space,’ he writes

Part of the issue seems to be the Fontainebleau’s sheer scale.

Marc writes: ‘The property is beautiful, but it also feels like an airport or mall at times. The casino areas are cozy but there are also wide-open spaces around the property that feel cold. It’s almost like the building has too much space.’

Although he had fun, as a long-time gambler and Vegas expert he couldn’t easily see who the hotel was designed for.

He adds: ‘Unlike some of the newest casinos opening, I’m unsure who Fontainebleau’s customers will be moving forward. The Christmas crowd had way too many families and they’re never indicative of a hardcore casino customer base on the Vegas Strip.

‘The number one takeaway is to be patient if you visit Fontainebleau soon.’

Britney Spears returns to Vegas after she was slapped by security

Posted on by gabrieladowdle4

Britney Spears returned to Las Vegas over the holidays, five months after she was ‘slapped in the face’ by NBA star Victor Wembanyama’s security guard.

The Toxic hitmaker, 42, stayed in Sin City for a few days according to TMZ, though its unclear if that’s where she spent Christmas Day.

The pop superstar had a room at Resorts World and another at Aria according to the publication. 

Spears was also seen in a video posted to social media, as she walked around the casino floor at The Wynn with a beer in her hand and a few security guards close to her. 

The singer was at The Wynn to watch the show ‘Awakening’ and later had dinner at the hotel’s seafood restaurant, Lakeside.

Britney Spears returned to Las Vegas over the holidays, five months after she was ‘slapped in the face’ by NBA star Victor Wembanyama’s security guard; seen in an Instagram snap

While in Vegas she also took a tour of the new Fontainebleau property, checked out LIV club, and enjoyed a visit to their members-only club, Poodle Room. 

In the online clip Britney wore a long-sleeve sparkling silver dress and brown boots, with her blonde hair cascading down in light curls. 

Her return to the Entertainment Capital of the world came just a few months after a security guard slapped her when she tried to snap a photo with Wembanyama in July.

In a video from the incident Spears was seen approaching the NBA star as she arrived at Catch restaurant in the ARIA Hotel, Las Vegas, supported by her now-estranged husband Sam Asghari, 29 while Wembanyama, 19, was seen walking ahead with alleged attacker Damian Smith.

Britney ran up to Victor and exclaimed ‘sir, sir, sir!’ in a British accent before tapping him on the shoulder.

As she tapped the star on the left side, the guard, who did not turn around – was seen backhanding her – either hitting in the face or causing her hand to fly into her face, with the star crying out and her glasses knocked off the impact.

After the slap, an upset Britney was heard calling out in a British accent: ‘That’s America for you. F*** you all!’

The Las Vegas Police Department’s investigation into the incident found that Spears had actually been the one to hit herself in the face after the security guard protecting the French athlete pushed her hand off him.

Britney ran up to the basketball player and exclaimed ‘sir, sir, sir!’ in a British accent before tapping him on the shoulder, prompting the guard, who did not turn around, to backhand her; Wembanyama seen on January 4

Following the investigation no charges were filed against the security guard. 

Wembanyama addressed the alleged attack at a press conference. He appeared to dismiss the pop star’s version of events, arguing she tried to grab him from behind which forced his team into action.

However Britney has rejected Wembanyama’s claim, sharing a statement on Instagram that explained she simply ‘tapped him on the shoulder.’

Spears said: ‘I simply tapped him on the shoulder. His security then back handed me in the face without looking back, in front of a crowd. Nearly knocking me down and causing my glasses off my face.’

She said she was speaking out because she felt it was ‘important to share this story and to urge people in the public eye to to set an example and treat all people with respect.’ 

A source close to the singer previously told DailyMail.com Spears ‘wants an apology,’ and that the guard’s actions were dangerous and ‘disgusting’.

‘What if this was a little kid? What if it were a handicapped person that tapped him on the shoulder for an autograph? He would be arrested and sentenced to prison time,’ the source said.

‘The security guard had no idea what was behind him he just swung. No one was running. No one was screaming. There was no commotion. There has been no action taken against the bodyguard.’

The source said that the security guard acted with excessive force.

‘They are being a bully. All they need to do is say we are sorry, and this will all go away. Be a classy organization.

‘Instead, they are trying to spin this by saying her hand hit her own face when it didn’t. He smacked her the video shows this.’

At the time Spears had been enjoying some down time at the Catch restaurant in the ARIA Hotel around 8:30 p.m. with now estranged husband Sam Asghari and two other people

Wembanyama said during a press scrum at the NBA Summer League that Spears ‘grabbed me from behind’ which led his team to spring into action; seen in December

Meanwhile the singer claimed that she approached Wembanyama after recognizing him at the hotel and ‘simply tapped him on the shoulder!’ wanting to ‘congratulate him on his success’

The source said Spears was shocked that there had not been an apology from the NBA star’s team.

‘All she wants is an apology and she has not gotten. Suck it up and apologize. Don’t try and turn this around to make Britney at fault. 

‘That is disgusting… with everything she’s been through they are now going out on a limb to be like we are right, and this girl is wrong?’

Spears herself said she did not blame Wembanyama, but she felt she had been treated unfairly.

She wrote on Instagram that she did not want to claim she was a victim, but added: ‘I don’t feel like I have been treated as an equal person in this country.’

Wembanyama, a French basketball player, is considered one of the most promising new stars in the sport, and he was selected by the Spurs in the 2023 draft.

The 7ft 5in center was the first overall pick after spending the last few years playing professionally in France.
