There’s been a lot of talk lately about Las Vegas slowing down. Lower crowds, lower energy, maybe even lower standards. However, Fontainebleau Las Vegas is one of the newest and most polished luxury hotels on the Strip, and I was curious whether it would live up to the hype. After staying here during EDC Week, I’d say it’s best for travelers who want a modern hotel experience and a more elevated Vegas stay.

Opened in December 2023, this Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel review shares insight into my stay for what you need to know. From the price I paid during peak season, to dining and room details.

The Bleau King Room

At 67 stories, the 3,644-room Fontainebleau doesn’t hold back, even with its entry-level rooms. I booked my stay during EDC week, one of the busiest times in Vegas, and the room rate was only $170 a night! That’s unheard of for a new luxury hotel! Especially when I paid $470 per night for my stay at ARIA Resorts & Casino just down the Strip. Hell, I paid over $400 per night (including taxes and fees) at Horseshoe Las Vegas in 2023, and that place was a nightmare!

While ARIA is more centrally located and a common choice for EDC crowds, had I realized how luxe Fontainebleau would be at a fraction of the price, I would’ve booked my entire trip here. I stayed in a Bleau King Guest Room, and the room was seriously impressive. It had a deep shower room with incredible water pressure, robes so plush I would’ve snuck it home if I had a check-in suitcase, and smart design touches like AC vents positioned away from the bed. The room didn’t have a view since I was on the third floor, but everything else made up for it.

Dining at Mother Wolf

With 29 unique food and beverage venues on property, Fontainebleau offers endless dining options. But if you’re like me and only have time for one meal, consider this one. The on-site dining experience at Mother Wolf was easily one of the highlights. Created by Chef Evan Funke, the space pays tribute to ancient Rome through architecture and cuisine. Italian food is my favorite cuisine, and the vibe is dramatic and elegant, but the food is purely comforting. Pricey, but definitely comfort food.

A must-order dish for carb-lovers is the Sfincione, a fluffy focaccia topped with sea salt, wild oregano, and extra virgin olive oil. It’s simple but perfect. The pastas and thin pizzas live up to Funke’s reputation, but the Sfincione is next-level. Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel review tip: book a reservation early since reservations can fill up fast!

Why Fontainebleau Las Vegas Hotel Feels Different

With over 70 years of legacy tied to the brand, this Las Vegas revival brings bold architecture, over 3,000 rooms, spa and wellness offerings, high-end dining, and nightlife into one towering property. From the signature scent in the lobby to the ultra-polished mirrors placed just right throughout the rooms, every detail is designed to make you feel delighted with your stay. My Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel review conclusion is that this hotel doesn’t try to mimic the Vegas you already know; it’s redefining what Vegas luxury looks like!

Would I Stay at Fontainebleau Las Vegas Again?

Well, duh! Fontainebleau Las Vegas gave me far more than I expected, especially at such a reasonable rate during one of Vegas’s busiest weekends. It’s already on the radar for celebs and high-rollers, but I love how it’s new, fresh, elevated, and not completely overrun with crowds… yet. Since I only stayed for one night, there’s so much I didn’t even get to experience, like the expansive six-acre Oasis Pool, which boasts four bars, two restaurants, a casino, and LIV, their day and night club. I only had time to walk through the pool area, but it looked like the perfect place to spend the day and get some sun. There was even someone from Fish and Wildlife walking around with a hawk (or falcon) to entertain guests. Why that’s a thing, I’m not sure.

I didn’t get a chance to experience Lapis Spa & Wellness, which won the 2024 World Spa Awards for World’s Best Casino Hotel Spa and Nevada’s Best Hotel Spa. That’s top of my list for next time! So if you’re planning a trip and wondering where to stay, let my Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel review be your sign.
