Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the 67-story luxury resort and casino brought to life
by Fontainebleau Development, has opened its doors to the world. The arrival of
the resort’s first guests on December 13 followed a star-studded private opening
celebration with a surprise headlining performance by 10-time GRAMMY® winner
Justin Timberlake. The opening of Fontainebleau Las Vegas signals a new era of
luxury hospitality on the Strip, and a testament to the iconic, nearly 70-year
Fontainebleau legacy of sophisticated glamour, unparalleled service, and
innovative design.

“The Fontainebleau era in Las Vegas begins now,” says Fontainebleau Development
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Soffer. “This magnificent resort is
a testament to our 70-year commitment to excellence, a catalyst that will change
the way the world views luxury hospitality and design on the Strip.”

The grand opening festivities began at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday with a “Bleau
Carpet” arrival attended by numerous celebrities, dignitaries, and VIPs
including Cher, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Lenny Kravitz, Jessica Biel,
Axel Rose, Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis, Las Vegas Golden Knights owner
Bill Foley, Sylvester Stallone, John Summit, Tommy Hilfiger, and several local
casino executives who showed their support. These invited guests became the
first to sample Fontainebleau Las Vegas’ signature restaurant and bar
collection, including Fontainebleau originals Don’s Prime, Bleau Bar, Nowhere,
Azul, and Collins as well as Groot Hospitality’s Papi Steak and Komodo, Chef
Evan Funke’s Mother Wolf, celebrated Asian-inspired hotspot KYU, among others.

In true Fontainebleau style, the evening was filled with unexpected first-class
entertainment, including a surprise performance by country music icon Keith
Urban at Bleau Bar, the centerpiece of the 150,000-square-foot Fontainebleau Las
Vegas casino. The 15-time Academy of Country Music Awards winner serenaded
guests before the crowd made its way into the 3,800-seat Bleaulive Theater.
There, guests were entertained by legendary singer Paul Anka, who serenaded
Soffer with an original rendition of “My Way” dedicated to celebrating the
nearly 70-year legacy of Fontainebleau coming to Las Vegas. Topping off the
evening was an electrifying private performance by award-winning singer, and pop
culture icon, Justin Timberlake, taking the stage to sing and dance his
repertoire of globally acclaimed hits, including, “Sexy/Back,” “Suit & Tie,” and
“Cry Me A River.” Timberlake took a moment mid-performance to celebrate Soffer’s
birthday, encouraging the crowd to join him in singing “Happy Birthday” to the
Fontainebleau Development Chairman and CEO.

Following the once-in-a-lifetime performance, Timberlake was joined by football
icon Tom Brady, Soffer, Fontainebleau Development President Brett Mufson, and
others in Fontainebleau Las Vegas’ high limit salon to make history by rolling
the first dice, signifying the official opening to the public. As the first
guests made their way through the doors, they immersed themselves in the
resort’s captivating atmosphere, and began crafting the Day One memories that
will last a lifetime.

Doors opened to the public shortly before midnight, when invited guests
dispersed to several private after parties including LIV Las Vegas, where
world-renowned DJ Peggy Gou entertained the crowd.

Fontainebleau Las Vegas resides on nearly 25 acres in a premier location
adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center District West Hall. The resort,
acquired in 2021 by Fontainebleau Development in partnership with Koch Real
Estate Investments, is solely operated by Fontainebleau Development. More
