67 stories of blue glass and bold ambition. Thirty-six restaurants, Lapis Spa, and the city's most theatrical pool complex.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in December 2023 — eighteen years and roughly four billion dollars after construction first broke ground on the site of the old El Rancho. The result is the tallest occupied structure in Las Vegas: a 67-story curved tower clad in tinted blue glass that anchors the north end of the Strip and dominates the skyline from any approach. Owner Jeffrey Soffer's intention is plainly stated in every design choice: this is meant to be the most ambitious hotel-and-resort programme the city has produced since Wynn opened in 2005, and it is operating on that scale.
The room count is 3,644, beginning at 488 square feet for the entry-level Glimmer Room and stretching to multi-bedroom Fleur de Lis Suites at 4,000+ square feet for the top of the inventory. The interior design is a collaboration between Soffer's in-house team and a roster of named designers — Tara Bernerd handled select suite categories — and the language is unapologetically maximalist: brass, mirror, lacquer, custom carpet woven with the property's signature bowtie motif, and bespoke headboards that stretch the width of the wall. The lobby's glass mosaic by Hamilton Aguiar is one of the largest contemporary art installations in Las Vegas.
The dining programme is the property's most credible claim to seriousness. Across thirty-six venues — nine signature, seven casual, seven on the Promenade, plus nine bars — Fontainebleau has assembled a lineup that no Strip property of recent vintage has matched at opening. Don's Prime is a stone-clad steakhouse with a hand-cranked martini cart. La Fontaine is the showpiece French brasserie. KYU brings Miami's wood-fired Asian formula. Mother Wolf delivers Evan Funke's Roman pasta operation. Casa Playa, Komodo, Papi Steak — every restaurant brand of the past five years has a banner here.
The Lapis Spa & Wellness facility, at 55,000 square feet, was named World's Best Casino Hotel Spa at the World Spa Awards in 2024 and again in 2025, and includes 22 treatment rooms, a hydrothermal circuit, and one of the few cryo-chambers on the Strip. The Oasis Pool Deck spans six acres on the property's south face and includes seven separate pools, the signature LIV Beach club, and a programme of curated bottle service that keeps the deck full from late spring through October. The Conference Centre at 550,000 square feet is the largest privately operated conference facility in Las Vegas — a distinction that explains the property's consistent occupancy during major trade shows.
For groups of six to twelve, Fontainebleau is the most cohesively programmed bachelor/bachelorette property currently operating in Las Vegas. LIV Beach by day, the LIV Nightclub on the casino floor by night, and a steakhouse-then-Mother-Wolf dinner sequence handle a three-day itinerary without a single off-property excursion required. The Fleur de Lis Suites at 4,000 square feet sleep large groups in the same accommodation, and the property's group sales team will package cabana, table, and dinner reservations as a single coordinated booking.

The 550,000-square-foot Conference Centre, paired with thirty-six dining venues and 3,644 rooms, makes Fontainebleau the most operationally complete convention hotel in Las Vegas. The property's executive-floor concierge programme handles same-day bookings through a dedicated channel; the suites in the higher tower categories include desk space and lounge configurations suitable for client-facing meetings. The Strip is a five-minute drive in either direction, the Convention Center is across the street, and the LVCVA monorail station is a five-minute walk. See all business hotels →
