LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Fontainebleau Las Vegas will finally open its doors to the Las Vegas Valley on Wednesday, Dec. 13.
Watch the ribbon-cutting ceremony:
The 67-story luxury resort and casino will open its doors just before midnight on the southern end of Las Vegas Boulevard. This opening comes after several delays in construction and a small fire.
The tower is the tallest occupiable building in Nevada and includes 3,644 rooms and suites, a 14,000-square-foot fitness center, a 55,000-square-foot spa, a 96,500-square-foot luxury boutique retail district, and a six-acre pool district.
Upon opening, guests will be able to explore the 150,000-square-foot Fontainebleau Casino, which includes a collection of original bars, lounges, a day and nightclub, and the Fontainebleau sportsbook.
