A rooftop fire at the unfinished Fontainebleau Las Vegas will not delay its December opening, resort officials said Monday.
Police and fire crews responded to a fire ignited in construction debris on the roof of the north Strip property on Saturday afternoon. The company called the incident “minor” and said it didn’t expect changes to its current timeline to open the resort by the end of the year.
“The incident will not impact or delay the opening of Fontainebleau Las Vegas in December 2023,” resort operators said in a statement. “Construction, hiring, and operations are moving forward on schedule.”
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, the Clark County Fire Department said Monday.
