This is amazing Chris, wow didnt expect a video inside the rooms too, its really impress although i do agree with you, its opened at a bad spot, you can only walk to circus circus etc, but inside looks amazing, i think this wil definatly be my place to stay when im in vegas next, you are awesome
It's amazing that the carpet in your room is what the original carpet was when the property was built. The hotel rooms were basically done from the second to the 28th floors
That is one nice hotel! That is probably the nicest fitness center I have ever seen! I'm surprised that some of the power outlets did not work even with the hotel being brand new though.
Hi Chris! Thank you so much for the tour! Loved it. I think the FB is gorgeous but seems to cater to the exclusive affluent crowd. Although I will probably go see it in person when I am there in a few months, I will not stay as it is too far off of the main strip where I enjoy walking around to everything. Happy New Year! CAB😍
After staying at Venetian/Pallazzo for years…nothing else compares. The great thing is that Fountainbleau matches status. So after matching they give you $250 food and $200 spa credit right off the bat!
Four Tophers is pretty good. 🐼 Thanks for the review Chris! Your pros and cons are helpful. I would stay for a couple nights. 😊 Looking forward to your other videos from this trip!
I visited this place last week it is beautiful. The food court could be better, hopefully more eateries will come later. The crazy thing is, the rooms are way cheaper than the new locals casino/hotel Durango waaaaay off strip. Thanx for the thorough review.
hi, thanks for another great video. i cant wait to stay at fountain! we are staying 2 nights first week of june. were also staying at the beautiful sahara too that week. wifey and i walk everywhere!! yes, the other casinos are a bit of a walk to get to but really if you can walk its really not that bad!!! we love the north strip now. its awesome. cheers
So gald to see it finally finished. Was so tired like the rest of us in Las Vegas seeing the unfinished hulk standing there for over a decade. One small issue I see with the room. The illuminated buttons next to the bed. They should be amber so that at night it won't blind the guests who are sleeping. My preference is a very dark room. Like the Wynn which had it from the start, the amber nightlight under the bathroom sink is a good feature. Like the style of the place and the bow tie theme which came from the Miami location in which they have that theme on the lobby floor. Hope the place does not get ratty over time.

It looks okay. I think it is a bit lackluster compared to some of the other 5 star resorts on the strip. It looks fairly bland and lacks the theming that I would expect from a vegas resort.
That's the point it's coming from Miami. It's not like every other casino. Every hotel is different and unique theme. The yhip design in the outside and the cruise vibe inside is it's own theme. 😊 The inside with the deco art is beautiful and different from any other hotel. The 7 pools will bring people out in March.
Hi Chris ! Is this hotel within walking distance of the Las Vegas Convention Center? Vegas first timer here and will be staying primarily for the Convention event.
Hi Chris. Wonderful review of the Fountainebleau. The room is very nice and spacious. Nice that they have a shower and a bath tub. Would be great to soak myself after a long day of exploring. The wall to ceiling window is a nice touch. The fitness center is huge. Just like going to a regular gym. Great place to work out. The price was reasonable considering the time of year you stayed. Thanks for sharing and take care.
I’ll definitely stay here some day. It’s a little expensive but if I can get a price a little lower than that first night price you paid I just might stay there on my next trip. Quick question did you ever walk from there to the nearest monorail station and if so how far was it? I often use the monorail when I want to get to the north end of the strip fast
Thanks for a great review. It looks like a very hotel and I really liked the room. I wish it had a bigger variety of eating places in different price points. I wish more hotels had free self parking. They have all gotten carried away with charging for parking, even at suburban hotels. Between the parking fees and resort fees, it can add $100 to a daily room rate. Is the FB part of any hotel rewards program?
The hotel looks amazing, or is that your camera work?😁 That's the one we drove by not knowing what it was. Maybe they haven't gotten to the big signage on the building yet.
Anybody who knows Las Vegas understands that this location is in the ghetto. You will spend more money on Uber to get to anything fun. Although the location is getting better in my humble opinion you’re better off staying near Aria Wynn Cosmopolitan Venetian Palazzo Paris Bellagio. Most people partying in Vegas never spend much time in the room. The Strat is very close to the Fontaine and it’s like flying spirt airlines if you know you know.
The rooms at the Bellagio are pretty small... between the two I'd pick the Junior suite at fountainebleau. But over those two I'd pick a room at the Venetian/Palazzo (the smallest is 650 sq feet) or at the Wynn
@@YellowProductions Thank you so much for getting back to me! There's so much to choose from that I am finding it overwhelming. I actually have the one bedroom suite at the Venetian booked for the first few nights of my trip - but the price becomes astronomical on the Monday and Tuesday, so I need to move hotels. This room will be for my wedding night so I want it to be special. My concern with the Bellagio was the small room size - especially as will be moving from The Venetian. Would Fountainebleau or The Wynn be your favourite Suites? Thoughts on The Conrad or The NoMad?
Find something in your budget. Compare prices of rooms that fit your budget. Anywhere you guys stay, will be special. 😅 Spend the extra money on attractions and food. You guys party and have fun together, sleep when you get home 😘
Actually I find the location one of the appealing aspects of this property. Away from the noise, crowd, and guy smoking next to me at the slots, Center Strip! Easy Uber to the mess of the Center Boulevard if need be. FB got it right, catering to those wanting a more Resort feeling rather than a "Vegasy casino". It was published the pool opens in Spring. Minus a "con"?
god this place is amazing i said it before and ill say it again having a fridge for yourself at this point is amazing it had the minibar if you want it everything just looks so good lol
Thanks for the video! Finally, I had the chance to see the inside of a room. As for the plug, I've noticed some hotels have a switch (mostly in the entrance of the room) that is actually the switch that turns on the power to the outlets. I stayed at a villa in Vegas and noticed some outlets didn't work. It turns out that there's a random switch that has to stay on if you want power to all of the outlets. Why do they have it like this? Not sure. Probably to save money on electricity?
Just got back from a 4 night stay at the Fontainebleau. My opinion, it's a beautiful hotel, away from the strip. We however spent a small fortune on Uber and cabs while we were there. Rooms were very nice I just wish they would have had a mini espresso or coffee machine. We were on the 50th floor so going downstairs to Chez Bon Bon and spending almost $40 for two muffins and 2 coffees were a rip off. Will I stay there again...no. I would rather spend little more and be in a more convenient location that has more amenities in the room. I don't feel this is a family friendly hotel. It's more for the convention crowd being the convention center is very close by.
The room size, layout and functions look very similar to Conrad's across the street... so maybe in this sense I would prefer Conrad as the price is usually much lower.
@@YellowProductions Thank you. Most of the other self parking is a far distance from the hotel, but this looks like its in the hotel building?? Also do you have a top 5 resorts in Vegas video?
I liked my stays at FB Miami, but they may be making this too exclusive to be comfortable for me. I’m more interested in comfort and food quality than exclusivity.
Thanks as always Chris! As I said on your initial tour, location will likely be the biggest challenge this hotel faces. Other than convention traffic what reason do people have to stay there other than it's very nice? No poker room, nothing to do around it, limited entertainment (as yet) just will be a problem just like Resorts world found out. Feel there needs to be a bridge or attraction between Fashion Show Mall and Resorts World for the north end of hte strip to thrive again.
The pools and the night club and the day club club will bring people in March. Some people will like it some wont. I honestly said the same tho they need something else to keep people coming back.
I dunno. Was this hotel really worth waiting 15 years for? It sat unfinished on the strip so long, they should have just named it The Never Ending Story. And from the outside, I don't think it has any real eye appeal. There are much more stylish hotels, like Resorts World or The Wynn, that look more inviting. Personally, however, I don't stay on the strip in Vegas. I prefer off-strip hotels and AirBNB rentals because it's safer and less expensive, plus there's less traffic and some great local eateries off the strip. Another awesome video, Chris. Thanks. All the best to you and your family in 2024. Travel safely!
@@YellowProductions I thought construction started around 2007/2008 but, regardless, it was a fascinating story of how the property changed hands a few times and seemed like it would never actually open. I'll check it out on my next visit, for sure.
I would liked to have heard a more about the casino and its gaming options. Also, I would like to hear more about the nightlife options, such as the LIV Nightclub
Hi Ken -- did you watch the tour I did of the rest of the property? This one here is focused on the hotel experience -- this tour is focused on the casino and restaurants, etc: th-cam.com/video/0MM1-R9CsTc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for letting me know, the second video covered more of the stores, restaurants and exterior of the hotel. I guess LIV Nightclub is not something you would want to cover as a family man@@YellowProductions
When I went to Vegas, I went to see all the Cirque du Soleil shows, so "center strip" was ideal -- I could easily walk to all of them. The Fontainbleau is apparently at the north end of the strip, so you would have a significant walk (1-2 miles) to shows/locations at the south end. Nothing to worry about if you're in good condition, but if not you may have to take a cab to some of them. FWIW the hotel looks great!!
1-2 miles is quiet the hike when it is 110 degrees, even 90…. however Uber, city bus or cab…. Not a problem. Or walk less than a mile to Westgate and get on the monorail…
I would take the Deuce bus! We didnt have to wait for it and it has several stops on the strip. Only 8 bucks for a 24 hour pass...and it goes downtown too
Location, location, location. This joint has none of those. At a minimum, there should be an inside walkway to get you close to the Convention Center or Westgate monorail station (new CC space is still under construction - should make it a bit easier once that's complete). Some reliable, frequent, and complimentary shuttles would soften the blow, but I don't bring a car to Vegas & this place kinda traps you. That makes it a hard no for me.
While I get the Blue is for the Fountainbleu, but the real question is is there a yellow room , or should we YP fans have to do a petition for a n included yellow room, just a thought 🤔😊
at 16:10 your actually wrong here. In the entryway of the room right next to the entry door there is a panel with 6 buttons, top 2 say drapes open and sheers open, one row down says drapes stop, sheers stop, and bottom row is drapes close, sheers close. I don't know if you noticed that though. Also when going with that i know its a inconvenience, treasure island offers free parking in their parking lot behind the hotel which will get you on the strip.

Chris dosen"t get enough kudos for how flippin funny he is 😂😂😂
Aww 😀
I don't think he's trying to be funny. He's just got a pleasant demeanor.
I think you’re the first TH-cam that has stayed at the new hotel! Anyways love your overall content including the ones in the OC! 🎉
Thanks so much Jeff!
This is amazing Chris, wow didnt expect a video inside the rooms too, its really impress although i do agree with you, its opened at a bad spot, you can only walk to circus circus etc, but inside looks amazing, i think this wil definatly be my place to stay when im in vegas next, you are awesome
Good job Chris- that’s a lot of useful detail packed In 19 mins. 👍
All the info someone wants when deciding where to stay in LV.
Thanks so much Bro!
The hotel looked great! I wouldn’t mind a two day stay for $514.00 considering how nice it is. 👍
First time coming across your videos, Very Nice, well made, Thanks Buddy!
Welcome to Yellow Productions!
It's amazing that the carpet in your room is what the original carpet was when the property was built. The hotel rooms were basically done from the second to the 28th floors
That might be the best hotel gym in the entire Vegas strip!! Nice!
I think so!
Hope you and your family have a wonderful year ahead. Thx for all the great content. Looking forward to 2024 content🎉
Thanks Carole!
Good job Chris, I like your work, very informative, you seem to take a lot of vacations so I trust your vision, thanks.
Thanks Bob!
Great review! How would this compare to places like Venetian, Encore, Resorts World?
Sounds like an idea for a future video :). I also stayed at Wynn and Venetian on this trip so updated reviews on those are incoming
That is one nice hotel! That is probably the nicest fitness center I have ever seen! I'm surprised that some of the power outlets did not work even with the hotel being brand new though.
Yeah... I'm guessing they just never tested them to make sure they work
Hi Chris! Thank you so much for the tour! Loved it. I think the FB is gorgeous but seems to cater to the exclusive affluent crowd.

Danke das du uns das neue Hotel mit Vorteil und Nachteil vorgestellt hast
I like the more grown up look of the place. I prefer beauty over gimmicks. Thanks for showing the gym!
My pleasure! 😀
Very impressive review. I am more inclined to stay herre knowing the good & flaws. Nice information with a tour. Solid work. Thx
Thanks Joe!
I'm booked and ready. Thanks for all the detail. Enjoy
Sweet! Hope you enjoy it!
How did you like it @pberry1924
I visited this place last week it is beautiful. The food court could be better, hopefully more eateries will come later. The crazy thing is, the rooms are way cheaper than the new locals casino/hotel Durango waaaaay off strip. Thanx for the thorough review.
Probably because they have 3,600 rooms here.. and the Durango has less than 200.. so way more rooms to fill
Hi Chris. Thank you for the review. The room is nice and big. Overall beautiful 👍 😊
Thanks cw!
Thank you very much for Video. Experience and Professional 👍🏆🥇🏆😊
hi, thanks for another great video. i cant wait to stay at fountain! we are staying 2 nights first week of june. were also staying at the beautiful sahara too that week. wifey and i walk everywhere!! yes, the other casinos are a bit of a walk to get to but really if you can walk its really not that bad!!! we love the north strip now. its awesome. cheers

Merry Christmas Journey!
That place is big and beautiful. I gotta stay there next time when I come
How many floors is this property? This seems like a good place for us to stay if we ever made a trip to Vegas.
I like the idea of checking your card before getting into the elevator. They did that at the Mirage my first time there.
They should have opened with a buffet to challenge Wynn and Bacchanal. A food court isn't going to pull a lot of people from those resorts.
Indeed. A killer buffer would have been a great draw
What a great detail review
Not a bad looking room, so nice they are not using community dispensers for the amenities.
Agreed on the bathroom amenities!

Looks like a lovely hotel! Chris did you get a chance to visit the other new hotel, Durango? Personally, I liked the vibe there more, but both great.
I did! Tour of that coming soon! Agreed!

Had to spend more time editing this one 😀
Great Review
Hi Chris ! Is this hotel within walking distance of the Las Vegas Convention Center? Vegas first timer here and will be staying primarily for the Convention event.
Yes.. pretty close
Love your reviews! :)
Thanks Melissa!
Hi Chris. Wonderful review of the Fountainebleau. The room is very nice and spacious. Nice that they have a shower and a bath tub. Would be great to soak myself after a long day of exploring. The wall to ceiling window is a nice touch. The fitness center is huge. Just like going to a regular gym. Great place to work out. The price was reasonable considering the time of year you stayed. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Yeah... it's a great soaking tub!
Great Video. Thanks 😊

Quick question did you ever walk from there to the nearest monorail station and if so how far was it? I often use the monorail when I want to get to the north end of the strip fast
The nearest Monorail station is at Sahara... so relatively close. But no... I didn't walk it.
Do they have a cafe like the Grand Lux at the Venetian?
I think there's better value around the center of the Strip.
Your 4 Topher review was based on a non-peak week in Vegas. Would your review change if you paid peak rates?
My review is indeed based on the price I paid..
Could you realistically walk to the Peppermill from the Fountainbleau?
Yeah... 10-15 minute walk
Great video.
Great review. Quite lovely. Only gripe no coffee maker in room.
Thanks Carole.. yeah. Seems to be a trend in Vegas room.
Thanks for a great review. It looks like a very hotel and I really liked the room. I wish it had a bigger variety of eating places in different price points. I wish more hotels had free self parking.

No... FB is not part of any hotel rewards program... they have their own casino rewards program
Does he get paid by fountainbleu to do this?

Hah.. yeah. No big sign on the outside
Anybody who knows Las Vegas understands that this location is in the ghetto. You will spend more money on Uber to get to anything fun.

Fountainbleau needs to connect to the Airport and Bullet Train directly- then you would rate it 5 teddy tophers
Indeed :)
Wonder how awkward the walk is to the monorail station.
It should be fine. Just walk East along Elvis Presley Blvd and cross the street to Westgate and follow the path.
less than a mile…

At a minimum, there should be an inside walkway to get you close to the Convention Center or Westgate monorail station (new CC space is still under construction - should make it a bit easier once that's complete). Some reliable, frequent, and complimentary shuttles would soften the blow, but I don't bring a car to Vegas & this place kinda traps you. That makes it a hard no for me.
I don’t like the clash between those grey walls and blue. The grey also makes it feel dated, I prefer white walls
Sahara isn't too far to walk to
Yeah. But it's not real close either
While I get the Blue is for the Fountainbleu, but the real question is is there a yellow room , or should we YP fans have to do a petition for a n included yellow room, just a thought 🤔😊
We definitely need more yellow rooms! :)
I give this review 8.604 Tophers! Yaaaaaayyyy....
Sweet!
Did not like room, looks small to me. But that is the best hotel gym I’ve ever seen
And that's coming from the gym doctor! 😀
Fontaine
Per the hotel they pronounce it just like a water "Fountain"
at 16:10 your actually wrong here. In the entryway of the room right next to the entry door there is a panel with 6 buttons, top 2 say drapes open and sheers open, one row down says drapes stop, sheers stop, and bottom row is drapes close, sheers close. I don't know if you noticed that though. Also when going with that i know its a inconvenience, treasure island offers free parking in their parking lot behind the hotel which will get you on the strip.
Yeah... it's not by the bed though... which is where I want to use it :)
I never knew UNWRAPPED did hotel reviews
Hmmmm chocolate on the bed🤔
IS THAT BOWTIE A Collectible?
FONTAINE or FOUNTAIN? Why does everyone say it wrong? I know it means "Fountain" but it's pronounced different.
The hotel themselves pronounce it "Fountain" -- I asked them. That's why everyone pronounces it that way
FB...do something unique, so for, i have no interest in this Hotel/Casino
Like all of Vegas. Overpriced and overhyped.

I think it’s the perfect bachelor party hotel simply because of the bow ties lol
Some of your cons were your personal preferences but I agree with most of your review
Indeed. My reviews are definitely from my point of view 😀
