Fontainebleau Las Vegas

This is an absolutely wonderful property- it's on the same level as Wynn/Encore but, it's less crowded, cleaner, and more affordable. The shopping can improve with more boutiques but, I found it to be wonderful nonetheless. Motherwolf was a revelation- possibly the best Italian food I have ever had in Las Vegas. The pool was fantastic- I hold it in the same class as any in Vegas but, it was cleaner- service was better and it was an overall fantastic experience.

When I got there, I asked for an upgrade to a suite they gave it to me complementary they asked for my credit card for incidentals later I found out they charge me the upgrade fee for the room. There are a bunch of liars or Customer Service I would not recommend this hotel at all.

So I strolled into the Fontainebleau one morning, and this was my first visit to Las Vegas. I was on a mission to collect as many $1 chips from as many different casinos as I could get my hands on. I had walked about 3 miles already this morning. I think it was somewhere around 9:30am when I walked in. Immediately I was taken back, this casino stood out FAR nicer than the other 30 or so places I had been too (including the Cosmo my close #2 fav). Lots of blues, silver and grays. Very 'cool' feeling as temps were going to be up around 105F for a high this day, that already made it feel super welcoming. On top of that I stroll over to a blackjack table for my $1 chip, and the pitboss comes over to me, Latrice, and she is super hospitable. She explained every floor, and accommodations on the property in extreme detail. I told her I was hungry, and she pointed out a couple of coffee shops on the second level. I told her I was more interested in a nice sit down 'bacon and eggs' kind of breakfast. She told me that there is a restaurant called Vida in the back part of the casino that made a great breakfast, and she was 100% correct. You get what you pay for in Las Vegas. It was a $40 breakfast consisting on 3x eggs, 2x pancakes, 3x sausage links, and a hashbrown patty that almost looked like a crabcake. The hashbrown patty alone is a reason to go back to this restaurant. The food was amazing. The only reason for the 4/5 stars is my experience at this hotel is the location. While the immediate location is fine, as is a stroll south, going north is ill advised after sundown as the neighborhood between here, and the Strat begins to deteriorate. I did make the walk in the late morning/early afternoon after breakfast. It was fine for me. I would not make this walk at night alone, in a group, maybe. Again the shout out to Latrice, as I was just a guy wearing shorts, and a t shirt looking for a $1 chip, and she acted towards me like I was the most important person to walk into the casino that morning.

We loved staying here! It was absolutely beautiful and so high end. The casino is amazing. We actually won! I love how it is at the end of the strip not in the middle of the craziness but easy to jump on the Duece bus and go onto the strip and visit the other casinos. The pool was perfect after a day of walking. Plenty of lounge chairs available in and out of the pool and bar service was great! We also loved the food court to get bagels or pizza for quick bites! Would def recommend!

Amazing hotel. It is off strip but couldn’t fault it. We stayed in a King Gold Room with Best Strip view (6945) facing the strip and the Sphere. Very clean and comfortable. Hotel is just something else.
