For the newest resort coming to the Las Vegas Strip, it's been a long and strange journey...
Fontainbleau Las Vegas sat completely dormant and roughly 70% complete for almost 15 years. It's been through ownership changes, multiple bankruptcies, and lawsuits. It's faced recessions, financial issues, questions about its structural integrity, and even a global pandemic.
But after all that, here we are...powering ahead towards the grand opening of what's shaping up to be one of the biggest & most luxurious resorts on the Vegas Strip.
For this episode, I'm joined by Eli Segall, Investigative Business Reporter and former Real Estate Reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal to talk about the past, present, and future of the Fontainebleau. We went in depth on the history of the property - including the original ownership & concept for the property - and discussed the potential impact the new resort may have on revitalizing the north part of the Las Vegas Strip.
