Really can't understand these bad reviews. Its like social media and reviews have an agenda against…read morethis property. Its clearly one of the best properties on the strip. Yes, its further down from the chaotic center, but is that a bad thing? For this traveler thats sick of crowds, its a blessing. You can literally walk to Bagelmania, and that famous Mex al pastor taco place, Fountainebleu is right across, wonderful walking areas with an attached mall (ok the stores are whack as fuck but hopefully will be better), their street food court is so innovative and cool, always find some good things to eat here (the fried chicken was my fave, and somewhere had this hong-kong stlye pan wok'd noodles it was very good too.) Never crowded. Great colors and casino layout. The pool is very nice and easily in my top 5 in Las Vegas. The rooms are very modern and clean. Great bar called the Gatsby. Nice Mex Restaurant right when mall area starts near the back of the casino past the Gatsby bar, and a by-the-slice pizza place thats also very good. Wally's restaurant is somewhere I hope to try one day. LOTS of food options, even a buffet type, and an Eggslut-typa breakfast place, forgot the name. Great looking sportsbook and the western-like sportsbar next to it upon entrance both on the left. Theres also a steakhouse in a very bizarre location upper level and waaay to the left, isolated. Lots of places want to try in the future. If anything, it is a massive place when you venture out into the mall part (the convention and private event areas walk and walk and walk, too much empty room here, thats really the only flaw.) I have my top 5 places to stay in Las Vegas: 1) Durango, (this will never change) 2) Fountainebleu 3) Resorts World (a very close 3rd to FB) 4)Wynn (if you can afford without cramming 8 people in one room) 5) Aria If you want a shit show, stay at MGM, Bellagio, Caesars Paris, Flamingo, Planet Hollywood etc.) If you want simplicity and luxury feel without the massive crowds, come here. Resort has Crockford, Hilton, and Conrad for the rich. A regular room at Hilton did us just fine and it was beautiful, lobby smells great.

We're BILT members. My husband vaguely remembered we had VIP access. I asked at the concierge and…read morethey assured me we did not have it. But we looked it up later and we did. So it's kinda weird the concierge is not completely knowledgeable, but maybe it's unfair for me to expect them to know my own details. It's not like there are other BILT members out there or anything. I think we missed out on some "freebies" and feeling VIP or whatever. Regardless, Cherry, who checked us in, did a very good job at recommending places and explaining everything for our stay with our perks; and there was a lot of explaining. When I looked back, there was a line of 20 people. I watched some Youtube reviews on Fontainebleu and there was a perfume smell...to help mask the cigarette smell. The roses were real, which was nice. Some parts of the hotel were already falling apart/broken. I was hoping for the smell of fresh air...which is why I stayed in a Las Vegas casino. I liked the hallway to our room...it got more narrow towards the end. The room itself was O.K. One room had a tray for your keys and the other didn't. The view from one room was of a dirt patch. The upgraded room had the view of the A/C units. Can they at least decorate the roof top with artwork or something? My favorite part of the hotel room was the bathtub. I basically took multiple baths a day. I went to MGM and got scented bubble bath salts. There are a lot of restaurants that are mostly $$$-$$$$. Miami Slice was good - we kept our leftovers in the fridge and it actually tasted good cold. Chez Bon Bon was my go-to place for interesting crafted coffees (lots of lavender choices for a lavender-lover) and a box of pastries with nice presentation for gifts. The workers were also very friendly. La Cote was also pretty good - I loved the watermelon salad and our server, Joey, gave lots of good suggestions and made interesting conversation. The pools at Fontainebleu were rated highly by Youtubers. I can't say they are my favorite. We went at the end of August and the heat was so intense. I think the glass windows of the hotel reflect back down onto the pool area. The pools aren't deep, which I guess is good for kids, but this isn't really the family-oriented hotel. So on Saturday afternoon, the pool area was full of people standing in the pool with the water at waist level. I guess this is what people like to do at pools - stand in it. Who swims these days? The pool is so shallow and they have 4 life guards sitting there. Watching you stand. The workers at the hotel were all mostly friendly when you approach them. But a lot of the staff kind of just do their own thing. It's been a while since I've been to Vegas, but it's kind of a stark contrast after mostly going to normal hotels for the last few decades. Getting transport to Fontainebleu was convenient. We were able to get a Zuke's. We also walked to the Bellagio from Fontainebleu at midnight when it was cooler. FYI Zuke's stops around 11-12am. Also right across the street is Tacos El Gordo which was featured on a Netflix Taco documentary. It had super long lines around 10pm. The fresh tortillas were very good and it was chaotic, but a good experience. There's also another one by the airport that might be less busy. I don't think my stay at Fontainebleu was so amazing. I think the pools at Ceasar's was better. MGM looked like more fun (and family-friendly) and less ritzy. This hotel looked like it's catering more to the clubbing age group, which I'm not in. However, Fontainebleu did seem to have less smoke smell than MGM or Ceasar's. If you have a lot of money to splurge and spending money makes you feel good, this is the place to go. If you're more of a deal-hunter who likes to get a good bang-for-your-buck, then maybe come if you have some offers or coupons from third parties.

The Fontainebleau Las Vegas was first imagined in 2005, with the goal of bringing the iconic Miami…read moreBeach brand to the Las Vegas Strip. Construction began in 2007, but faced setbacks including the Great Recession and later the COVID-19 pandemic. Knowing its history, I was eager to experience a guest stay. Booking & Check-in:: I booked my room through a travel aggregation website. Upon arrival, the front desk quickly found my reservation. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free. The clerk was both friendly and helpful. The main lobby is cavernous, with decor that's simple yet elegant. It creates an impression. Room Quality:: The Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in 2023; but the room's furniture was well-kept, and free from excessive wear that might hint at heavy use. The carpet looked fresh, with no stains or tears in sight. Regarding the bed, the sheets were crisp and bright white. The mattress, pillows and duvet were comfortable. Bathrooms often show the most wear and tear, but this one was pristine. It was spacious. The layout was well-arranged. The towels looked like new, with a heavy pile and a crisp, bright white color. Sometimes when I travel, I like a room that's comfortable, but not so luxurious it makes me want to stay in all day. Other times, I want a inviting space to relax in, and the rooms here fit that bill perfectly. I found the décor, color palette, and furnishings appealing. I also think many hotel rooms lack sufficient lighting, but here there's plenty of it, along with the option to adjust it to your liking. Common Space:: Although I didn't use them myself, I was surprised to learn while walking the grounds that there are seven swimming pools on the premises. I did, however, enjoy some of the gaming options on site, as well as several of the restaurants.

I went to M for a concert and was greatly disappointed in the whole experience…read more I understand that M is not entirely responsible for every aspect of the concert experience but there are a few things worth mentioning. I'll start with the parking and the way traffic was directed. For this specific concert it was very confusing, and the lack of signage did not help. Getting out of the parking garage was the most difficult and it took about 30 minutes. Also, when the concert was announced online, there was no mention that it would be held at the pool. So this concert was held by the pool in 107° weather and it was not fun at all. I could be wrong about this, but the band only played 1 hour 20 minutes and I think it's because it was so darn hot. And I was not happy about this at all. If I was overheating being in the audience, I can't even imagine how much hotter it was up on stage with the lights, smoke, leather pants... lol. So in the future, if there is a concert held at the M I would make sure to research and make sure that it's not at the pool in summer. So basically, I paid $175 per ticket to go see a band at the pool totally not worth it especially since they only played less than two hours. For those who wanna know I saw Stone Temple Pilots and unfortunately it was not worth my time or money. After this experience, not only will I probably never go to the M resort to see a concert, but I also will never again go and see Stone Temple Pilots. If you're gonna pay almost $200 per ticket and spend three hours of your time preparing and driving there you gotta at least give me two hours of your time for it to be worth what you're charging. The other thing I want to mention is the security guards and customer service staff weren't very efficient in crowd control. People were just gathering right in front of us who paid $175 for their tickets and it took about 30 minutes to get all these clowns out of the way so the rest of us could enjoy the concert. In my personal opinion this might've been one of the worst concerts I've ever been to and it really left a bad taste in my mouth concerning STP. Sadly I believe STP died the day the original front man died. RIP Scott Weiland. You are greatly missed.

It seems as though their renovations have been completed. If you stayed here when it was the Mandarin Oriental, you will remember you had to go to the 3rd floor to check-in. WA kept that process until the most recent reno. You now checkin upon entry, like most places, however, you still go to the 3rd floor to access the guest room elevators and restaurant. I really love all the new touches and also enjoy the touches they kept from the previous franchise. The check-in staff was above and beyond friendly and looked for ways to make sure you would best enjoy your stay. After a long drive and plane ride, it's nice to chat with people who are genuinely engaged in getting to know about your stay. We had made reservations for spa treatments for after we are arrived and we thoroughly enjoyed that time. I would go as far as to say the WA spa is one of the best spas on the strip. Fabulous. The WA is a wonderful strip hotel in a great space and a lot of convenience in and around.

It's nice and quiet and not overly crowded. The staff is fantastic and attentive. They remember your name. The Zen Kitchen offered great breakfast and lunch options. We ate there twice. The pool is not loud or crowded. There's a nice bar and pool-side restaurant that serves food till about 5:00. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. They offer a complimentary car service for ride within 3 miles (but no airport transportation). We used to go to the Wynn for a show. I would definitely stay here again the next time we're in Vegas.

First stay at The Venetian -- and definitely not our last…read more This was our first time staying at The Venetian, and overall, we had a really great experience. We were in Las Vegas for a concert at the Sphere, and one of the main reasons we chose to stay here was the convenience. Being able to walk through the resort and get around without relying on Ubers was a huge plus, especially on a busy concert night. Check-in was smooth, the staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming, and our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We were also upgraded, which was a very nice surprise. The highlight had to be the view of the Sphere from our room -- absolutely perfect for the concert we were attending. The Venetian is an experience in itself. The resort is massive, beautifully designed, and there's plenty to explore without even having to leave the property. For us, the ability to walk around, grab something to eat or drink, explore the resort, and head to the Sphere without worrying about transportation made the stay that much more enjoyable. We typically stay at MGM properties when we're in Vegas, so trying The Venetian was a change of pace for us. Based on this first experience, I'm glad we gave it a shot. Friendly staff, clean rooms, unexpected upgrade, an incredible Sphere view, and an extremely convenient location for a concert. We'll definitely be back. The Venetian has officially earned another Vegas stay from us.

The best part is it is walking distance to the Sphere, so if you're going to a show at the Sphere, staying here is ideal as it's conveniently located to it. Only con was the price of the parking during your stay.

So many things can be said about this property. For me, it's "crowded excellence"…read more There is a lot to love about this place. The beds are some of the best I think I have ever been in. The pillows are soft, the mattress feels like a cloud and the products are really nice and plush. It's no wonder so many people want to stay here. Service overall was good. Our front desk agent Gerard was a highlight. Really friendly and helpful in understanding our benefits we got with our room. Also gave us some recommendations for place to go and try as well. However, we had issues in service among other places in the property, notably the bell desk. We did have about a 2 hour delay before our room was ready so we dropped our stuff with the bell desk. The setup is weird, there is an inside person and people outside. It seems like everything goes through the outside people, we could only drop our stuff with them and pick our stuff up at checkout, we have no idea what the inside guy did except to direct us outside. Also, by the time our room was ready, we couldn't even pick up the stuff at the bell desk, only delivered to the room. It said it would take 15 minutes but we had to call and because it was "so busy" we had to wait almost an hour for it. The massive sprawling casino has a lot of games to play and a lot of different venues for everyone. Minimums are high for table games (as expected) but there is still something for everyone to play. Cocktail service was slow at times, but Sandra was friendly and quick as well as made some delicious cocktails. Overall, it really is a nice property with some great stuff. But it does feel like it doesn't know how to properly control crowds and leaving you like you were truly at a 5 star resort.

Service was fairly friendly and the room was nice. The property has a lot of amenities for both fine dining and more affordable options with the infamous Block 16 for food area. I will say it's a good place to stay if you want to be in all the action of the strip and it also a chique lively atmosphere. But if want a more laid back experience you may want to stay more on the north/south end of the strip or something like Vdara.

Unsafe balconies beware…read more Per security direct quote: "this happens at least once every three months". My experience at this hotel was extremely concerning because of a serious safety issue with the balcony door. I stepped onto the balcony, and when the door closed behind me, it locked, leaving me trapped outside. It was approximately 110°F. Fortunately, I had my phone with me and was able to call for help. Had I not had my phone, this could have become a dangerous situation very quickly. When I reported the issue to the manager, rather than showing concern, she was condescending and made me feel as though I had somehow caused the problem. I specifically told her that I did not believe another guest should be placed in that room until the balcony door was repaired because it was unsafe. I had paid extra for a room with a balcony, yet I could not safely use it for the remainder of my stay. Because I was traveling for work and had a very demanding schedule, changing rooms at the last minute was also extremely difficult. I just chose not to use the balcony anymorez What bothered me even more was being told that if I filed a formal safety report, they would not be able to refund the additional amount I had paid for the balcony. That placed me in an unacceptable ethical position: either report a legitimate safety hazard so another guest would not be placed at risk, or remain silent in order to receive a refund. Of course, I chose to report the safety issue. After considerable discussion, I was eventually refunded approximately $130 related to the balcony charge. However, the way the situation was handled--particularly the manager's dismissive and condescending attitude--was unacceptable. I would not stay at this hotel again. Even if my work required travel to the same area, I would choose another property.

Every once in awhile Durango... we've been to GVR several times and while it's not far as the bird flies, the others are closer and offer enough to keep our wallets empty and our stomach full for the most part. So with that said, we enjoyed returning today. One thing I guess that takes a bit getting used to is actually getting to the casino from St. Rose Pkwy. It's not instinctive and it always seems like we're driving through a business park (and we are) to get to the casino. Today we chose to park in the lot by the main entrance . Upon entering we espied the lucky penny and pizza rock two places we've enjoyed dining before. Parking in the garage has us entering from the other side of you will. So impressions, the casino wasn't crowded (probably will be tomorrow at game time. It was clean, not smoky and many new machines from what I'm told (I'm a poker player and don't keep track of the latest slots). Plenty of cocktail servers and apparently quick service.
