Meeting the Expectations
the culinary industry . Many of our F & B partners have established relationships with Fontainebleau but are coming to Las Vegas for the first time .
“ Evan Funke , Masa Ito , David Grutman , David ‘ Papi ’ Einhorn , and Alan Yau — it is an incredibly diverse collection of chefs and restaurateurs that demonstrates our commitment to unforgettable and one-of-a-kind dining . Our beverage program is helmed by Juyoung Kang , who has led some of the best bar teams in the city . Her attention to detail , vast wealth of knowledge and endless creativity have helped define each bar with a signature style , from reimagined classics to unique one-of-a-kind cocktail experiences .
“ Kevin Reilly , our director of wine and spirits , has also brought his years of experience as a master sommelier to Fontainebleau Las Vegas , crafting our wine and spirits program to compete with the best in the city .”
In Miami , the Fontainebleau spa is recognized as the best in that city . Tricano believes the same will happen in Las Vegas .
“ We are building upon our legacy , and guests will see that in the design and amenities offered at Lapis Spa & Wellness ,” he says . “ Designed by Lissoni & Partners , the spa embodies our commitment to well-being , blending ancient rejuvenation methods with modern healing technologies to create a transformative and enduring experience . Lapis Spa & Wellness is unique in that the atmosphere is designed to adapt to the natural circadian rhythm and biological clock of our guests so they can best achieve their individual goals . We do this through all-encompassing and immersive sensory elements , from aromatherapy to lighting , starting off with a calm atmosphere in the morning and transitioning into a more vibrant energy through the afternoon .
“ In addition , we are introducing a 14,000-square-foot fitness center . Debuting within our offerings is a 96,500-square-foot retail district , a six-acre pool district , a 150,000-square-foot casino , nightlife and entertainment experiences , among others .
“ Fontainebleau Las Vegas will feature 128 table games and 1,300 slots throughout our casino floor and high-limit spaces . Table games can also be found in Solo , our aspirational gaming bar that brings glamour to roulette and blackjack with sophisticated design and top-tier mixology .”
Room and suites are expected , but unlike many Las Vegas hotels which contain “ hotels inside of hotels ”— like the Four Seasons at Mandalay Bay , the Nobu Hotel at Caesars , multiple brands at Resorts World — all the rooms and suites at the Fontainebleau will be self-contained .
“ Fontainebleau Las Vegas offers 3,644 beautifully designed rooms and suites , and recently we unveiled our Fleur de Lis collection ,” says Tricano . “ These suites are the ultimate expression of Fontainebleau elegance and hospitality on five floors at the top of our resort tower . David Collins Studio designed Fleur de Lis , and the collection ranges from 1,000 square feet to the pinnacle of luxury — the 10,000-square-foot penthouse . Fleur de Lis is a sixstar experience tailored to the individual preferences of every guest , with personally curated touchpoints and amenities throughout .”
