We know now why Fontainebleau executives opted to open the 67-story, blue-tinted north Strip resort on Wednesday.
Following a 30-minute ribbon-cutting ceremony, a crowd of family and friends in attendance sang “Happy Birthday” to Fontainebleau Development CEO Jeffrey Soffer who was joined on a stage by 18 contributors to the resort’s opening in the Urs Fischer Gallery for the property’s first big event.
Hundreds of invited guests gathered for the event and cheered comments made by Soffer’s development team and invited dignitaries. Other guests already staying at the property, some rolling their luggage from the parking garage, could also be seen on Wednesday morning.
On the Las Vegas skyline for more than a decade, Fontainebleau finally opens its doors to the public for the first time late Wednesday night. VIP guests and A-listers will start arriving in the evening for an invitation-only grand opening party.
