The newest luxury resort-casino on the Strip will open its doors to the public just before midnight.
It boasts a grand porte-cochère, a lobby enrobed in marble and gilded motifs of bowtie inlays, a sprawling convention space, modern hotel rooms, and a whopping 36 bars and restaurants. The property is immense, sleek, and glamorous. In the last 16 years, the property has changed ownership, changed names, started and stopped development, and now - finally - is hours away from welcoming throngs of people who have tracked its progress for nearly two decades. The 67-story, 3,644-room Fontainebleau Las Vegas first broke ground back in 2007. Just before midnight on Wednesday, December 13, the Las Vegas Strip’s newest casino will finally open its doors.
