Fontainebleau Las Vegas Hotel & Casino To Open After 23 Years

It could be made into a book or movie but after 23 years the Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel & casino will open in December this year, with the company now accepting bookings for the grand opening.

At a cost of $3.7 billion the development is a story in itself and how it ever got completed. The 67 floor resort which will be the tallest structure in Las Vegas, it will have 36 restaurants and bars and seven swimming pools along with 3,644 hotel rooms and a casino.

But the story of how it ever got built is quite amazing, back in 2000 Real estate mogul Jeffrey Soffer acquired the land to build a casino resort but in 2008 following the financial crisis Soffer had to sell the entire project.

But following financial issues two other firms that once bought the land came and went and in 2021 Soffer managed to acquire the development which was 70% completed at a fraction of the actual cost.

Now it is slated to open on 13 December Soffer who was interviewed by Bloomberg on the new resort said, ‘It’s one of the great, crazy stories in real estate. There’s always one crazy one in your career. This is definitely it.’

Fontainebleau Development President Brett Mufson said: ‘The opening of Fontainebleau Las Vegas marks a significant milestone in our company’s legacy, as we look to create an era-defining moment in Las Vegas history,’
