A US$2.9 billion, 3,889-room, 68-story unfinished hotel/condominium/casino development near the north end of the Las Vegas Strip on the 24.5-acre (9.9 ha) site previously occupied by the El Rancho Hotel and Casino and the Algiers Hotel in Winchester, Nevada. It was intended to be a sister property to the well-known 1950s-era Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel. The building is currently the second tallest structure in the Las Vegas Valley.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas was announced in May 2005, with initial plans to begin construction by March 2006, and to have the resort opened by 2008. Construction began in February 2007, but was stopped in 2009, when the project went into bankruptcy. The project, upon completion, was expected to include: a 95,000 sq ft (8,800 m2) casino, a 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m2) spa, 3,300-seat performing arts theater, 2,871 hotel rooms, 1,018 condominium units, 180,000 sq ft (17,000 m2) of retail space, 400,000 sq ft (37,000 m2) of indoor and outdoor conference space, nightclubs, and 24 restaurants and lounges. The building was designed by Carlos Zapata Studio with Bergman Walls Associates as the architect of record.
With the economic recession of 2008, the casino went into bankruptcy and never opened. |
