Fontainebleau Las Vegas was built to become one of the most luxurious resorts on the Strip. A 67-story tower, 3,644 rooms, massive convention space, high-end restaurants, and a final cost of $3.7 billion.

But after taking nearly two decades to open, the resort quickly became one of the most controversial projects in modern Las Vegas.

From empty casino floors and weak foot traffic to reported daily losses, executive departures, pricing backlash, and the viral $24 nachos scandal, Fontainebleau’s problems reveal something bigger than one expensive hotel struggling to find guests.

This video breaks down how a billion-dollar dream turned into a warning sign for the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. Was the building too ambitious, the location too risky, or did the business model fail before the doors even opened?

Watch until the end, because Fontainebleau may not be the only Vegas mega-project facing this problem.
