After staying at Venetian/Pallazzo for years…nothing else compares. The great thing is that Fountainbleau matches status. So after matching they give you $250 food and $200 spa credit right off the bat!

[@jonathanfactor6688]

Great video thanks

[@kennixox262]

So gald to see it finally finished. Was so tired like the rest of us in Las Vegas seeing the unfinished hulk standing there for over a decade. One small issue I see with the room. The illuminated buttons next to the bed. They should be amber so that at night it won't blind the guests who are sleeping. My preference is a very dark room. Like the Wynn which had it from the start, the amber nightlight under the bathroom sink is a good feature. Like the style of the place and the bow tie theme which came from the Miami location in which they have that theme on the lobby floor. Hope the place does not get ratty over time.

[@bobmiller6974]

Good job Chris, I like your work, very informative, you seem to take a lot of vacations so I trust your vision, thanks.

That is one nice hotel! That is probably the nicest fitness center I have ever seen! I'm surprised that some of the power outlets did not work even with the hotel being brand new though.

I visited this place last week it is beautiful. The food court could be better, hopefully more eateries will come later. The crazy thing is, the rooms are way cheaper than the new locals casino/hotel Durango waaaaay off strip. Thanx for the thorough review.

[@YellowProductions]

Probably because they have 3,600 rooms here.. and the Durango has less than 200.. so way more rooms to fill

You paying for anything in the mini bar tho lol expensive

[@falloutfan6649]

I’ll definitely stay here some day. It’s a little expensive but if I can get a price a little lower than that first night price you paid I just might stay there on my next trip. Quick question did you ever walk from there to the nearest monorail station and if so how far was it? I often use the monorail when I want to get to the north end of the strip fast

[@YellowProductions]

The nearest Monorail station is at Sahara... so relatively close. But no... I didn't walk it.

[@zzzzondi]

Your 4 Topher review was based on a non-peak week in Vegas. Would your review change if you paid peak rates?

[@YellowProductions]

My review is indeed based on the price I paid..

[@bostonelevatorsaviation]

How many floors is this property? This seems like a good place for us to stay if we ever made a trip to Vegas.

[@elinagibbons-plowright197]

I've never been to vegas! Do I go with a remodelled king room at The Bellagio or a Junior suite at fountainebleau?

[@elinagibbons-plowright197]

getting married so want something special and spacious

[@YellowProductions]

The rooms at the Bellagio are pretty small... between the two I'd pick the Junior suite at fountainebleau. But over those two I'd pick a room at the Venetian/Palazzo (the smallest is 650 sq feet) or at the Wynn

[@elinagibbons-plowright197]

@@YellowProductions Thank you so much for getting back to me! There's so much to choose from that I am finding it overwhelming. I actually have the one bedroom suite at the Venetian booked for the first few nights of my trip - but the price becomes astronomical on the Monday and Tuesday, so I need to move hotels. This room will be for my wedding night so I want it to be special. My concern with the Bellagio was the small room size - especially as will be moving from The Venetian. Would Fountainebleau or The Wynn be your favourite Suites? Thoughts on The Conrad or The NoMad?

[@tynic7573]

Find something in your budget. Compare prices of rooms that fit your budget. Anywhere you guys stay, will be special. 😅 Spend the extra money on attractions and food. You guys party and have fun together, sleep when you get home 😘

[@YellowProductions]

Hah.. yeah. No big sign on the outside

[@Igotstaknowit]

They should have opened with a buffet to challenge Wynn and Bacchanal. A food court isn't going to pull a lot of people from those resorts.

Could you realistically walk to the Peppermill from the Fountainbleau?

[@YellowProductions]

Yeah... 10-15 minute walk

[@Thecaliforniaelevatorchannel]

at 16:10 your actually wrong here. In the entryway of the room right next to the entry door there is a panel with 6 buttons, top 2 say drapes open and sheers open, one row down says drapes stop, sheers stop, and bottom row is drapes close, sheers close. I don't know if you noticed that though. Also when going with that i know its a inconvenience, treasure island offers free parking in their parking lot behind the hotel which will get you on the strip.

[@YellowProductions]

Yeah... it's not by the bed though... which is where I want to use it :)

Hi Chris. Wonderful review of the Fountainebleau. The room is very nice and spacious. Nice that they have a shower and a bath tub. Would be great to soak myself after a long day of exploring. The wall to ceiling window is a nice touch. The fitness center is huge. Just like going to a regular gym. Great place to work out. The price was reasonable considering the time of year you stayed. Thanks for sharing and take care.

Yeah... it's a great soaking tub!

[@shooter1973]

I think there's better value around the center of the Strip.

[@joemama-tn7zl]

Anybody who knows Las Vegas understands that this location is in the ghetto. You will spend more money on Uber to get to anything fun. Although the location is getting better in my humble opinion you’re better off staying near Aria Wynn Cosmopolitan Venetian Palazzo Paris Bellagio. Most people partying in Vegas never spend much time in the room. The Strat is very close to the Fontaine and it’s like flying spirt airlines if you know you know.

[@ReynaldoAbasr]

Dont they have Parachutes if there is an INferno.

[@paulstein916]

Thanks for a great review. It looks like a very hotel and I really liked the room. I wish it had a bigger variety of eating places in different price points. I wish more hotels had free self parking. They have all gotten carried away with charging for parking, even at suburban hotels. Between the parking fees and resort fees, it can add $100 to a daily room rate. Is the FB part of any hotel rewards program?

[@YellowProductions]

No... FB is not part of any hotel rewards program... they have their own casino rewards program

Not gonna lie when you showed off the mirror I expected you to have yellow socks 😂😂😂

[@YellowProductions]

Hah! Good yellow socks are hard to find!

[@userismes]

It looks okay. I think it is a bit lackluster compared to some of the other 5 star resorts on the strip. It looks fairly bland and lacks the theming that I would expect from a vegas resort.

[@YellowProductions]

Agreee

[@tynic7573]

That's the point it's coming from Miami. It's not like every other casino. Every hotel is different and unique theme. The yhip design in the outside and the cruise vibe inside is it's own theme. 😊 The inside with the deco art is beautiful and different from any other hotel. The 7 pools will bring people out in March.

[@poggi747]

Just got back from a 4 night stay at the Fontainebleau. My opinion, it's a beautiful hotel, away from the strip. We however spent a small fortune on Uber and cabs while we were there. Rooms were very nice I just wish they would have had a mini espresso or coffee machine. We were on the 50th floor so going downstairs to Chez Bon Bon and spending almost $40 for two muffins and 2 coffees were a rip off. Will I stay there again...no. I would rather spend little more and be in a more convenient location that has more amenities in the room. I don't feel this is a family friendly hotel. It's more for the convention crowd being the convention center is very close by.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks for your report. Agreed the food is expensive and the location is remote

[@claytonberg721]

We were in vegas at the same time. Too bad I didn't see you.

[@YellowProductions]

Neat

[@CesarMartinez-oo5uo]

Thanks for the video! Finally, I had the chance to see the inside of a room. As for the plug, I've noticed some hotels have a switch (mostly in the entrance of the room) that is actually the switch that turns on the power to the outlets. I stayed at a villa in Vegas and noticed some outlets didn't work. It turns out that there's a random switch that has to stay on if you want power to all of the outlets. Why do they have it like this? Not sure. Probably to save money on electricity?

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Cesar

[@reedberry]

I dunno. Was this hotel really worth waiting 15 years for? It sat unfinished on the strip so long, they should have just named it The Never Ending Story. And from the outside, I don't think it has any real eye appeal. There are much more stylish hotels, like Resorts World or The Wynn, that look more inviting. Personally, however, I don't stay on the strip in Vegas. I prefer off-strip hotels and AirBNB rentals because it's safer and less expensive, plus there's less traffic and some great local eateries off the strip. Another awesome video, Chris. Thanks. All the best to you and your family in 2024. Travel safely!

[@YellowProductions]

23 years in construction actually 😀

[@reedberry]

@@YellowProductions I thought construction started around 2007/2008 but, regardless, it was a fascinating story of how the property changed hands a few times and seemed like it would never actually open. I'll check it out on my next visit, for sure.

[@MurderMostFowl]

Wonder how awkward the walk is to the monorail station.

[@veekay3158]

It should be fine. Just walk East along Elvis Presley Blvd and cross the street to Westgate and follow the path.

[@MH_6160]

less than a mile…

[@danielwhitford7575]

Actually I find the location one of the appealing aspects of this property. Away from the noise, crowd, and guy smoking next to me at the slots, Center Strip! Easy Uber to the mess of the Center Boulevard if need be. FB got it right, catering to those wanting a more Resort feeling rather than a "Vegasy casino". It was published the pool opens in Spring. Minus a "con"?

[@YellowProductions]

Doesn't matter if it was published... No pool... it's still a con. :)

[@pizzaearthpancakesandother2549]

I give this review 8.604 Tophers! Yaaaaaayyyy....

[@YellowProductions]

[@markcummings3146]

Thanks as always Chris! As I said on your initial tour, location will likely be the biggest challenge this hotel faces. Other than convention traffic what reason do people have to stay there other than it's very nice? No poker room, nothing to do around it, limited entertainment (as yet) just will be a problem just like Resorts world found out. Feel there needs to be a bridge or attraction between Fashion Show Mall and Resorts World for the north end of hte strip to thrive again.

[@YellowProductions]

Indeed.. not much of a draw here other than nice rooms

[@tynic7573]

The pools and the night club and the day club club will bring people in March. Some people will like it some wont. I honestly said the same tho they need something else to keep people coming back.

I booked the rooms before the hotel had even opened...

[@richardmercer2337]

When I went to Vegas, I went to see all the Cirque du Soleil shows, so "center strip" was ideal -- I could easily walk to all of them. The Fontainbleau is apparently at the north end of the strip, so you would have a significant walk (1-2 miles) to shows/locations at the south end. Nothing to worry about if you're in good condition, but if not you may have to take a cab to some of them. FWIW the hotel looks great!!

[@MH_6160]

1-2 miles is quiet the hike when it is 110 degrees, even 90…. however Uber, city bus or cab…. Not a problem. Or walk less than a mile to Westgate and get on the monorail…

[@edvaira6891]

@@MH_6160Keep something in mind if you’re doing the monorail option-EVERY station is at least a ten minute walk from the Strip!!

Fountainbleau needs to connect to the Airport and Bullet Train directly- then you would rate it 5 teddy tophers

[@YellowProductions]

Indeed :)

[@beaveronabike]

Location, location, location. This joint has none of those. At a minimum, there should be an inside walkway to get you close to the Convention Center or Westgate monorail station (new CC space is still under construction - should make it a bit easier once that's complete). Some reliable, frequent, and complimentary shuttles would soften the blow, but I don't bring a car to Vegas & this place kinda traps you. That makes it a hard no for me.

[@Jack-gq7kn]

I liked my stays at FB Miami, but they may be making this too exclusive to be comfortable for me. I’m more interested in comfort and food quality than exclusivity.

[@jtube411]

Basic room imo, but thanks for the review

[@tynic7573]

The features tho. This bed it's self is worth it. The room should be the least place you'll be in Vegas. The room is just to hold your things and for you to rest up little before going back out LoL.

The room size, layout and functions look very similar to Conrad's across the street... so maybe in this sense I would prefer Conrad as the price is usually much lower.
