The hype
Guests are blown away by the room quality and housekeeping but frustrated by the 'dead' casino atmosphere and isolation.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas
$200-450/ night
Book this if You want that new-car smell luxury and hate the center-Strip chaos, or you're in town for a convention.
Why People Love It
- Everything is brand new and spotless (a rarity in Vegas)
- The crowd is less 'bachelorette party' and more 'wealthy professional'
- Access to the Arts District is actually easier than from the center Strip
Quick Take: A stunning, vertically-integrated luxury resort that feels like it was airlifted from Miami and dropped on the wrong end of the Strip.
Reviewed by @chasefortravel: I checked into the Fontainebleau and was blown away by the design. My suite felt like a modern sanctuary above the Strip. Waking up to the Sphere right outside my window was surreal, and I spent hours just reading in the lounge area. It’s the upgrade you deserve.
