Fontainebleau Las Vegas opens, catering to the luxury market
The Strip welcomed the $3.7 billion Fontainebleau Las Vegas, its newest luxury brand, Wednesday.
With much pomp and fanfare and Justin Timberlake scheduled to perform, the Fontainebleau celebrated Las Vegas’s comeback story of the century. Shortly after the 67-story resort was topped off in 2008, Fontainebleau became a victim of the Great Recession, then a bankruptcy in 2009. It came full circle back to its original owners, Fontainebleau Development, the group behind the historic Fontainebleau Miami Beach. After a morning ceremony, it was scheduled to open to the public by midnight Wednesday.
