[@whimsicalhamster88]

Oh man, that fact about how they had to renovate 1,800 rooms that no one had ever stayed in! I am going to visit in a couple of weeks and I’ll have to check this place out. It’s hilarious to me that a room here is around $300 while Durango wants $500+.

[@otrebla8944]

Durango only has 200 rooms. Fontainebleau has 3,000+. It makes sense.

[@fayemoss7282]

Durango is deranged oh😅

[@christiemarieviewz]

Durango clearly has a certain type of customer they want. They'll soon learn again like they have w all hotels . Lol.

[@HipHopCantSaveMe]

Durango Station is incredible

[@youngpower24]

So many reviews of this property miss serious opportunities to showcase not only the relationship between the Vegas property and the Miami property, but also the rich history that is the brand, Fontainebleau. Bravo Dale and Paula you did it! Cheers to you both.

[@bobbowie9350]

im sure they were paid

[@dioro93257]

Beautiful place but I would skip the $18 arugula salad for just the entree. Thanks for you the review.

[@ThisGirlAgain]

Thank you for the brief history of the Fontainebleau. My dad loves older Vegas and when I tried telling him about the new resort and where it was located, he couldn’t visualize it. Until I told him it’s where the El Rancho used to be, he said, “Oh! Across from Circus Circus!” 😊

[@jillv4006]

Very classy. Why didn’t Dale get to eat with you Paula? Happy New Year 🎊 to the most gracious couple in Vegas! 🥂 🍾

[@carlosclnsin667]

Happy to see you guys continue to do videos about Las Vegas and about any other thing , May god bless you guys and keep the good work 🙏🏼

[@emilyrussell4699]

Really swanky! Love the decor!

[@wvusciguy]

Great story telling with the screen captures of receipts. Paula’s subtle reviews about noise, plating size and ambiance spoke volumes. It shows one is paying for looking at / from the real estate. I’d still swing by to see the Citroen.

[@cristinauy8230]

Thank you for a job well done Paula and Dale! Happy new year!

[@jeffreycharles5035]

Always love when you show the hotels that were on these locations in the past! Very cool

[@freddannilsson7387]

Wow 😄😄

[@davidberryman9688]

Just when I think you guys cannot outdo yourselves you prove me wrong once again. That was a fantastic production with awesome videography, sharp editing and superb narration. Your journey throughout the hotel outlined the fine characteristics of the place. Paula, the look on your face when you went to dig into that salad was priceless. Thanks so much for a very entertaining video, you truly have the knack for presenting the fine facets of an establishment and your efforts are very much appreciated. Looking forward to your next masterpiece.

[@pixvuhobbyzone2814]

your salad is so fluffy...great video again DP

[@aplleyva]

Yes, I have to say your review, coverage, footage of the property is the best I've seen. Thanks for the video, Looking forward to spending time at The Fountain Blue

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Thank you so much - comments like yours mean a lot. 😊

[@renechang2406]

This place is awesome. So elegant yet modern simultaneously. They really did an outstanding job and so did you guys showcasing it.

[@GamblinGranny]

Great review Dale and Paula. We can’t wait to review it in March when we are out there. Looks beautiful 🎉

[@mp8shnt]

Your video editing is amazing!

[@NomadicBrian]

I like this place. Review well done.

[@hollandhillbilly2775]

I did not see Dale anywhere? Did Paula have to stay there alone✔️

[@debbie4982]

Paula, you made me want to jump into that bowl of pasta at Motherwolf. It’s my absolute favorite dish and you’re right, Sinatra’s dish is very similar. I will definitely try it when I’m there.❤ Wishing you, Dale and your family all the blessings for a beautiful new year!

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

Yeah, that pasta dish looks so tasty and delicious. 🤤🤤🤤

[@malindawray8769]

Beautiful happy new years

[@mrpeel3239]

Interesting that the designers made most of the iconic, Miami-syle curves on the inside. Not since Bellagio has there been a Vegas hotel at this high taste level You both really nailed this introductory review!! Ps loved the vintage Citroën too!

[@vermicide_riffs]

Amazing tour. I have to say I love seeing Dale’s Cowboy hat on the table in the hotel room. Signature touch. 🙌🤠

[@stephen3627]

I believe that was just a prop Dale wasn’t there.

[@busterbud]

Great look at the latest on The Strip. Keep the content coming!

[@Coco-up7bl]

I love your voice overs with the classy music in the background. Looking forward to visiting Fountainbleau in the spring. 😁

[@discostu5426]

you guys rock! Love your videos.

[@luvtravel2927]

Ty so much Mr. Dale for all the information you give. This is the 3rd blog of seen of this space and yours and Paula’s was so interesting ty

[@yvettekelley2155]

Thank you for the great tour wishing you both all the best in 2024!!! Viva Las Vegas!

[@Allison-jj1vq]

The clothes steamer is a great idea. I hate dragging the ironing board out on vacation. Practical extras make me happy. I hope you both have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2024. ❤

[@marleneroberts2257]

Great video! HAPPY 2024!🎉

[@bobm7499]

You guys just hit it out of the park every time. Of course, you had pics of the older casinos that used to be here. What I love about what you do. Most bloggers covering this opening have no idea of the history behind the property. Thanks again for what you do and the way you do it.

[@sallypeterson5642]

A terrific review you two!

[@clairepierson15]

ty for this tour happy new year looking foward to more videos in 2024

Awesome review , Thank you !

[@user-tq1th1ey3w]

I don't think any hotel in LV will ever have the story that Fontaine Bleu has. Good video as always.

[@kimnamsoon63]

Great video! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!

[@BagsByCABYarnTravels]

Lovely. Thank you Paula and Dale! Happy New Year. CAB😍

[@lynndimauro6403]

Happy New Year to you and Paula. Thank you for bringing all the news of Las Vegas along with the views of hotels and the strip to those of us who live elsewhere.

Another beautiful hotel/casino to check out next trip! Happy New Year Dale and Paula! All the best to you both❤

[@jackmeeellleee4896]

Looks like a good value. And that salad was thrilling.

[@maxsipmeier5366]

[@jimbucci3474]

Thanks for the wonderful tour of the Fontainbleau Dale and Paula 😃

[@caseysartain6775]

Love the room review. Good job guys. Hope to see y’all in March.

[@VoteAdnanShahab]

Happy New Year, Paula and Dale! My first thought on Fontainebleau is that it was more of a "soft opening" than a Grand Opening. As you mentioned, many of the restaurants and retail are not open yet, and they are clearly still working out some kinks. Two of the restaurants that I visited were missing ingredients and could not prepare certain items from their menu that I wanted to order. Also, from my experience, there seems to be some sort of traffic flow issues in the parking garage that emerges periodically. This is just a guess on my part, but I think the traffic heading out to Elvis Presley sometimes gets backed up, thus blocking up the entire parking garage. When I got stuck trying to leave, it took me 25 minutes to get from the fourth floor down to the first floor. But as soon as the traffic split off heading to Elvis Presley one way and toward Las Vegas Strip the other way, the traffic cleared up immediately in the Las Vegas Blvd direction, and I was promptly able to get onto the Strip. Undeniably, the property looks very nice. So far, it feels a bit too sterile for my liking. I am very interested to see the place develop its own personality, especially after all of the retail fills out, live shows start coming in, and more conventioneer business is captured. One other thought is that I feel the pool deck, while looking wonderful, might be too small considering the number of rooms at Fontainebleau. Once pool season begins, I am interested in checking it out, but I am worried that there simply isn't enough pool space or lounge chairs for a resort with over 3,600 rooms.

[@christiemarieviewz]

See, now this is the type of real review I needed. Lol .

[@JaredBlack7]

They have 7 pools she only showed a few from her room view

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

​@@JaredBlack7 The pool at Fontainebleau is going to open until Spring 2024.

[@lindafrias1291]

Happy New Year...❤🎉🥂🥂

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

The room looks pretty decent, but that is a huge price. AWESOME VIEW! The pools look nice. The casino floor looks very nice. I like curvature! 😅 Beautiful chandelier and bar. Woodinville Bourbon, nice touch. Fever Tree makes great stuff. I love their Ginger Beer, and I will use it to make a Kentucky Mule. I guess the next best thing to bringing Dale with you, is bringing Dale's Hat! I cannot wait to check this place out. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford staying there, but it does look like a tremendous looking place. Ox tail ragu....nice. Very cool time-lapse. Happy New Year!

[@GhettoGirlTravels]

Great job 👏🏾 as always!!!!

[@marie-thereseguimond7841]

It's really beautiful! Happy New Year to you both. Love this video🧓💯👋👋🍾🥂

Glenlivet!! Great choice. As we say in Scotland. Cannae beat it!!

[@ladybuginc.4189]

Great job. The Fountain Blue should use this video to advertise their casino!!! Great editing!!!

[@XZOL445]

Happy 2024 McKenzie's! Thanks for putting together videos all year long. Loved each and every one of them!

[@K2_Kim]

Happy New Year Dale and Paula 🎉 thanks for the good video. Especially enjoyed the Fontainebleau history, and hotel tour.

Happy new year McKenzies! The more I see of Fontainebleau, the more I’m excited to visit. Hopefully the kinks are worked out before my April trip though.

[@genesis2w]

Loveeeee this video!!!!.... I enjoy all your videos about Vegas. Hope you both have an amazing New Year 2024. Can't wait to see what the next year may bring 😊 greetings from NC

[@the_benjamin_effect]

Happy new year! Great video. I guess you already new there wasn’t anything else Paula wanted to tell the nice people...

[@lindamemo5224]

It reminds me of a really oppulant Marriott or Hilton it’s pretty but it doesn’t blow me away. Just another expensive hotel on the strip. When I think Vegas I think CASINO then gorgeous resort hotel with awesome pools.

[@kathleenmanley9733]

Wowwie Zowwie! Lovely and well done as uaual. Love you guys.

[@madaboutvegas2622]

We really want to check out this new property!!!!! Looks like a really nice property 😊

[@angelomelillo4012]

Thank you. We will be in town across the street in a few weeks. It is on our list to visit. Rigatoni looked good. Though I cant remember ever having to pay extra for a large Ice cube......

happy new year paula and dale from the uk x

[@vegaslady3732]

Nice vlog ( as usual), and the hotel/casino/food hall are all visually stunning. I'll check out the casino, but can't imagine staying in the hotel for 1 reason: I detest "open" showers!! So many new & remodeled hotels are using them that its driving me to vacation in other cities. Floors flood - falls likely! Who needs the broken bones?? 🤪😱🤬

[@sandraharvey7042]

Wow your video is tops so well thought out and presented. Such a talent you have, far surpassing the other Vegas you tubers!!! Happy New Year🎉

[@jacobrosen1988]

Happy New Year, you two! Hope your holiday season was fun and exciting. Loved this vlog--even though it's out of my league, I may consider it on a future trip (well, maybe a meal). Your filming makes it look very enticing. Sorry that Paula had to film this staycation stag--I hope everything's okay with Dale.

[@brendabaldwin5857]

Once again, another superb video! Love the history you provide with your productions and how you showcase everything so nicely - particularly things such as the gardens, flowers and when you do room tours, you showcase everything in the room nice and slow so we can actually see the room. Well done again!!

[@marydriskell2106]

Wow what a gorgeous place!! Thanks so much for the tour. Happy New Year to you two!! Be safe, be happy and be healthy. 🍷🍸🥃❤️

[@genejohnson3391]

I know things have gotten more expensive, but the average person seems to be getting priced out of vegas.

[@annhenriques3520]

Honestly, that’s not true. All it takes is some research, in the summer months and mid-December it’s easy to find reasonable room rates, even with those terrible resort fees. Sign up for players club cards, as even at the lowest level you will get offers for free room nights. Restaurant prices have gone up the most, but most of my meals are at breakfast places and cheaper places like Greenberg’s Deli, Crack Shack, or multiple places in Planet Hollywood. I find Las Vegas, excluding gambling, is a far cheaper vacation spot compared to cities like Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Boston, Honolulu or Denver.

[@jamesmorwood6373]

There are plenty of cheaper places to stay, they just aren’t going to be the newest place with some of the nicest rooms on the strip

[@monicasanders810]

Great video and what a perfect staycation. It’s a beautiful property and it’s too pretty and classy to even be a casino if that makes sense. I love an arugula salad, but that was a terrible salad with just arugula and nothing else. And $4 for a large ice cube?? 😮
