Fontainebleau Las Vegas

Fontainebleau took 17 years to complete, with many setbacks along the way. It was well worth the wait. Our first stay was for 4 nights in August 2025. Our room was on the 54th floor, looking toward the southeast. So we had a view of the Sphere and Encore as we looked toward our right out our window. The constantly-changing Sphere was mesmerizing to watch at all hours of the day and night. Our room was immaculately clean, decorated in white and shades of blue. There was a fridge drawer for guest use and a bunch of snacks and drinks for purchase, and a safe to lock up valuables. There were robes and slippers in the closet. The bathroom had double sinks and both a shower and a large bathtub. The toilet was separated from the rest of the bathroom by a frosted glass door. The room’s climate control worked well and we had very restful nights. The hallways were extremely wide and the whole vibe was one of comfort, crispness, and cleanliness. No smoke smell in any public or private areas. The lobby at Fontainebleau was amazing, with REAL vibrant red roses filling a number of huge urns and containers. We actually saw an employee in the early morning hours replacing any that were wilted. The artwork throughout the facility was huge and gorgeous. Do take the time to really walk the whole thing because around every corner is beauty- greenery, sculpture, photographs, and paintings. There were a number of grand escalators which were very tall and an adventure to ride. Fontainebleau has its share of designer retail, but the thing that is different is that it is located within the casino as opposed to in a street of shops with a mall-like feel. Similarly, the restaurants are along the perimeter of the casino. There’s a food court on the floor above the casino, but you really can’t call it a food court. It’s much higher-end. We ate two times at Washing Potato, which is on the casino level. Why two times at the same place? Because it was probably the best Pan Asian food I’ve ever eaten, in a truly unique environment. But that’s the subject of another review. There are several pools and they have a relaxed, chic vibe. I was impressed that they hired a company which uses natural methods to keep pigeons away, specifically, a large bird that pigeons fear, which was there with its handler, who was happy to do meet and greets. What a good idea, as opposed to using cruelty or chemicals! There are several fantastic resorts on the Strip, neighbors Wynn and Encore among them, but what truly sets the tone at Fontainebleau are its people. At every turn, there was a knowledgeable, friendly, helpful person available, and there were enough of them to make it seem that you were truly being looked after. I felt like this was the Vegas of 20 years ago in terms of service, presented in a fresh, gorgeous, clean way. This is a place for the young and hip party crowd, as well as the seasoned and relaxed leisure traveler. People make a big deal out of its location on the north end of the Strip. Yes, it’s not perfect, but it does seem that the epicenter of the Strip is starting to shift northward with the superior resorts of Wynn, Encore, Resorts World, and now Fontainebleau there, plus the Sphere located up Sands Avenue. We purchased a 3 day bus pass and rode the Deuce bus if we wanted to get further than our feet allowed. $20 per person for 3 days can potentially get you anywhere you want to go around the Valley. As in any other major city, keep your wits about you and be more diligent as the evening wears on. I had begun to get really discouraged watching all the videos coming out of Vegas about how bad it is now. Don’t believe all of them. Quality costs money. It’s a balancing act to be sure, but if you are willing to pay a bit more to have beauty, fine people, and clean furnishings around you, you will not be disappointed with this resort. My trip to Fontainebleau has restored my confidence that Vegas can be truly a world class destination. Congratulations, Fontainebleau, on an amazing resort! Read less

The WORST customer service at a hotel I've ever had. First of all every single interaction with guest services and check in has been awful. I'm traveling for business and the room rates are close to 700 dollars a night. Check in the lines were extremely long and every agent was rude. Because of the lines the agent told me she gave me late checkout. I called to check on that later and told there was no notes on my account for late checkout. When I told her that was unacceptable that I was basically lied to, she told me there was nothing she could do. I've stayed in a lot of hotels in vegas and have never been treated like this. Overall the hotel is fake luxury. The crowd is gross the staff is rude and is not worth the price. Very dissatisfied Read less

Fontainbleau was a beautiful visit. This hotel is very spacious; however, if you do not have good mobility, it may not be good for you. The pool was great, not packed with people. We could easily find a chair; however, service out there wasn't the best. All the food we had was amazing! If you're looking for a honeymoon, anniversary getaway, this is perfect. You can choose to have a view of the sphere, which is worth every penny! Read less
