The newest major luxury resort on the Strip — sleek, design-forward, and built at massive scale with top-tier dining, nightlife, and one of the most polished new hotel experiences in Las Vegas.
Why We Chose It
Fontainebleau Las Vegas is the most significant new luxury opening on the Strip in over a decade — a $3.7 billion resort that finally completed one of Las Vegas’s longest-running development stories when it opened in 2023. The hotel delivers a fully modern, high-gloss version of classic Vegas luxury: over 3,600 rooms and suites, expansive casino space, and a deeply integrated mix of restaurants, nightlife, retail, and wellness. Rooms are large and sharply designed with an Art Deco influence — clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a more restrained, contemporary feel than older Strip properties. What sets Fontainebleau apart is its sheer scale and completeness: more than 20 restaurants, 12 bars, and six pools create a self-contained ecosystem where you rarely need to leave the property. The nightlife scene — anchored by LIV — positions it as one of the city’s primary social hubs. The trade-off is location: it sits on the north end of the Strip, which feels quieter and slightly removed from central Vegas. But for many travelers, that separation enhances the experience rather than limiting it. This is best for travelers who want a new, polished, all-in-one luxury resort with strong design and energy.
