Fontainebleau Las Vegas 2024 Update

After sitting dormant and abandoned along the North end of the Las Vegas Strip, the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, has finally opened to the public. I'm flying out to Vegas to take a look at what has happened to this infamous abandoned building and provide a 2024 update!

Honestly, i am genuinely shocked that a project like this, delayed and abandoned so many times by so many owners over nearly 2 decades, ACTUALLY got completed. You almost NEVER hear of this happening, and the projects typically stay abandoned and rot after so many years of failed attempts and deterioration. Impressive

This is one of those channels where my head thinks "This is such great content I wish anyone else cared about abandoned material" then I see 1.43 million subscribers and realize I'm not alone. Congrats. Job very well done.

I just returned from a 4 night stay at Fontainebleau LV, and that resort is gorgeous! The staff were wonderful to deal with, and dined at several great restaurants around the resort. I highly recommend Mother Wolf and Miami Slice as my favourite restaurants.

This is a rare occasion where an abandoned structure actually gets a happy ending! 😮

I love that you do full update videos.

I stayed there earlier this month. I really liked the room and the view. The food was great at 4 different restaurants I tried. The conference center did what a conference center is supposed to do. The Bleu Bar had great service and cocktails.

I’ve been to Vegas for YEARS. As a vistor/tourist, I can say the lumbering blue giant eyesore finally is open after nearly 20 years of developmental hell. Viva Las Vegas. 🎉

it's like a crossover episode between BSF & BSF Travel! I love it!

As someone who works at The Fontainebleau, it’s a pretty cool place

I was a kid back in 2010 when it had an incomplete glass cladding. This building is so huge and the tallest one. It wasn't its time back then to operate, now after setbacks, this blue themed resort is actually unique with spacious rooms than Palazzo.

The Fontainebleau being incomplete always bugged me as a kid every time I would visit Vegas. Now that I’m 24years young I’m definitely going to visit it this year.

I remember the first time I laid my eyes on an abandoned and creepy building right across the Travelodge my family and I were staying in during our road trip from Denver to LA in July of 2008.

After years of being annoyed and kinda disgusted at the amount of waste that building was becoming, I am now working there. It's kind of crazy, who would've thought.

Holy shit! I grew in Vegas and I remember this building just being an eyesore at the end of the strip every time I would go pick up my mom from work. I can’t believe it’s actually finished and open. Thanks for the video!

They're airing Fontainebleau commercials on ESPN+ right now. Glad to see this project got un-abandoned!

I worked construction in FB for over a year and a half.

It was a nightmare for everyone involved with deadlines that were barely met. They were still working on the top floors when they opened.

The logo on that building was originally created to show case itself of what will soon to be the “new fountain blue.” I was told at my job (where me and one other person cut those pieces out) that it was going to be installed to advertise its grand opening on new years when TV’s around the world would panel on that end of the strip. It was made out of Vinyl with no lamination believe it or not. Surprised they were able to remove it without the windows falling or ripping off little by little pieces due to the extreme weather

I was just in Vegas and right up close to it and was pretty impressed and happy to see it finally finished

The 67th floor "rooftop bar area" is going to be a private club, the Poodle Room. Foundation Room at the top of Mandalay Bay similarly started as a private club and has since abandoned that concept. Fontainebleau's clientele, the few that there are, might be the types to buy into a private club, but I just can't imagine enough to be sustainable.

Last I read in local LV news was they are basically charging mid-strip prices for a building by the prime real estate of Circus Circus, Sahara, and Festival Grounds.

When i lived in vegas from 2017-2019 this building was a standing corpse. Good to see its finally opened...
