Big Bleau is debuting big flavor. Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the 67-story, blue-glass hotel-casino tower, launches Wednesday on the northern Strip. Twenty-one of the 36 bars and restaurants, previously announced, are set to open for launch week. The remaining 15 will begin operating over the next several months.
Thirty-six food and drink options is a big number, even for a $3.7 billion project, even on the Strip.
“We are not missing anything. We are really covering every cuisine and every dining opportunity,” said Anthony Olheiser, senior vice president of food and beverage for the Fontainebleau.
Given the attention engendered by the property’s turbulent 18-year journey to opening, going big with food and beverage (and everything else) feels like the right move.
