Towering over the north Strip, Fontainebleau Las Vegas has not only been in the works for a long time, it’s by far the biggest hotel being built in the nation.
But as a reminder of the intense competition here, several other casino-resorts on Las Vegas Boulevard can house more guests.
Boasting 3,000-plus rooms, the Fontainebleau is the largest hotel, as measured by room count, now under construction in the U.S. The second-biggest is a 1,600-room project near San Diego, according to industry tracker Lodging Econometrics.
Fontainebleau is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter this year and, as ranked by room totals, it will be the ninth-largest hotel in Las Vegas, according to figures from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
