LAS VEGAS has never been short on spectacle but with the arrival of Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a new era of luxury has taken root. The 67-storey property effortlessly blends old Hollywood elegance with modern-day indulgence, channelling the spirit of its legendary Miami sibling while carving out a bold identity all its own.

From the moment guests enter the grand lobby, the atmosphere feels curated rather than constructed. The hotel’s 3,644 rooms and suites are swathed in oceanic blues, muted silver tones and hints of coral, each one exuding sophistication.
In terms of accommodation, the Fleur de Lis Suites stand apart. A favourite for those seeking privacy and polish, it offers expansive living spaces and dedicated butler service. Even the in-room comforts beckon a refined sensibility, with high-thread-count linens and custom-scented bath amenities tucked neatly beside plush towels.

Dining at Fontainebleau is a tour in itself, with the only problem you’ll face is having to decide where to try. Among the countless offerings in the hotel, our favourite choice has to be Chyna Club. Located on the first floor, the restaurant serves contemporary Cantonese cuisine in a jewel-toned setting that strikes the right balance between drama and intimacy. The Peking duck is a standout, paired beautifully with cocktails that play as much on presentation as flavour.
After dinner, we couldn’t help but venture into Azul to try its signature mezcal and tequila cocktails. Inspired by mezcalerias of Mexico, the lounge surrounds you with desert sunset hues and moody lighting, setting the scene for a seductive nightcap.

Though Las Vegas is never lacking in entertainment, the true surprise of the Fontainebleau experience may be how little one feels compelled to leave the building. That said, a handful of moments are worth the detour. The Vegas Views Tour with Maverick Helicopters delivers one of those rare, cinematic experiences that lingers. Soaring above the neon-drenched Strip as the sun slips behind the desert mountains, the city transforms into a glittering circuit board.
If it’s a memorable show you are looking for, watching ‘O’ by Cirque du Soleil felt like diving into a dream. The show performed at the Bellagio is an incredible blend of stunning water acrobatics, graceful performances and visuals that leave you completely spellbound. After the show, take a short stroll to LPM Restaurant & Bar at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, where its artfully curated Mediterranean menu blends European charm with Vegas Glamour.

Even when plans shift, as they often do in Vegas, the comfort of this property makes spontaneity feel like a luxury. Between its six-acre pristine pool district, luxury fitness centre, Lapis Spa & Wellness, a curated mix of retail and dining and an in-house casino, Fontainebleau offers both escape and immersion.
With its blend of heritage, design and restraint, Fontainebleau Las Vegas isn’t just the prominent address on the Strip, it’s a redefinition of it.
