The long-awaited Fontainebleau resort and casino has joined the Las Vegas Strip.

Fontainebleau is the largest occupied building in all of Nevada, standing at 67 stories.

The resort has an ideal location on the Strip, just a block away from the Las Vegas Convention Center.

This resort has been a long time coming. 

Jeffrey Soffer, chairman and chief executive officer of Fontainebleau Development, first began construction in 2007.

Since then, many owners came and went leading up to the final completion and opening in 2023.

Funding was lost and the project was halted in 2009, when it had reached 70% completion, according to the Associated Press.

"Bringing Fontainebleau Las Vegas to life has been an extraordinary journey," said Soffer, per the Associated Press. 

"Opening a resort of this size and scope is a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

This resort was a $3.7 billion project, one of the most expensive on the Strip. 

It's second only to Resorts World, which was a $4.3 billion endeavor.
