Wynn Las Vegas and Fontainebleau Las Vegas have traded barbs over allegations that Fontainebleau has tried to steal executive talent from Wynn.
UNLV’s College of Fine Arts Hall of Fame Gala will take place next Tuesday at Fontainebleau’s Bleaulive Theater.
Existing and future Fontainebleau employees — called members by the resort — will get access to child care, fertility, gym and wellness programs.
Fontainebleau’s new leader will have to go through a licensing process with state regulators.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the 67-story, blue-glass hotel-casino tower, launches Wednesday on the northern Strip.
Here’s what to expect when the Fontainebleau resort-casino opens on Wednesday.
Boasting 3,000-plus rooms, the Fontainebleau is the largest hotel, as measured by room count, now under construction in the U.S. The second-biggest is a 1,600-room project near San Diego, according to industry tracker Lodging Econometrics.
Developer Steve Witkoff has renamed the former Fontainebleau: The Drew Las Vegas. We can’t tell you who Drew is — yet. But here’s what we know about the project: • 4,000 rooms • Will debut the Edition brand in Las Vegas and feature the Strip’s first JW Marriott • 500,000 square feet of convention and meeting space • The 60-plus story tower, mothballed since the recession, is scheduled to open in late 2020 • Purchase price: $600 million • Former Cosmopolitan CEO John Unwin will oversee The Drew’s launch and operations
It’s been more than three months since the Fontainebleau sold for $600 million. But there’s still no word from the buyers on what they’ll do with the mothballed tower on the Las Vegas Strip. Records show they’re calling their effort “Project Blue” and that a contractor was hired to finish construction. But other details remain unknown. (Eli Segall/Las Vegas Review-Journal)
