The Fontainebleau Las Vegas cost $3.7 billion and took 20 years to build—surviving bankruptcy, a pandemic, and multiple owners. But since opening in December 2023, this 67-story luxury megaresort has struggled with empty casino floors, 49% occupancy rates, viral pricing scandals (#NachoGate), executive turnover, staff layoffs, and an anti-money laundering investigation. This documentary explores how Nevada's tallest building became stranded on the neglected north end of the Las Vegas Strip, where minimal foot traffic, no monorail connection, and premium pricing have created a perfect storm of operational challenges. From the 2007 construction accidents to the 2009 bankruptcy to the troubled 2023 opening, we trace the full history of Vegas's most cursed casino project and ask: can a resort this beautiful survive in a location this bad? Featuring guest reviews, financial analysis, and expert commentary on whether Fontainebleau Las Vegas can break the cycle—or become the Strip's newest cautionary tale.
