Fontainebleau Las Vegas Finally Opens After 16 Years of Construction Delays, Bringing Massive New Luxury Resort with Famed Miami Nightclubs to the Strip

The Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel took 16 years to build after initially breaking ground in 2007, stalled by the 2008 recession before finally opening in 2023.

Jeff Soffer, who first acquired the land in 2000, reacquired the property in 2021 to finish construction on the 3,644-room resort.

Miami hospitality entrepreneur David Grutman will bring his successful venues LIV nightclub, LIV Beach dayclub, and restaurants Komodo and Papi Steak to Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

The nightclubs and restaurants will be supersized compared to the Miami locations, designed by David Rockwell for all guests to have prime views of the DJ and stage.

Soffer aims for Fontainebleau Las Vegas to provide a luxury experience and "the best time in the world" when it opens ahead of the iconic Fontainebleau Miami Beach's 70th anniversary in 2024.
