Hotels - Fontainebleau

Fontainebleau.

FB.

Much like myself, present in Las Vegas pre 2010, then gone until 2023, then back - and now here. 

I actually interviewed for a job here during their pre-opening in 2023. I didn't get the job, so it sounds like they're doing fine without me.

But man, I love this giant office building, I mean casino!

It's glitz, it's glam, it's high-end, smells great (inside), well-lit, lovely casino floor, great dining options, best pool in Las Vegas, one of the best hotel rooms in Vegas, etc. one of my favorite spots in Vegas.

Like they say, good things come to those who wait, and man did we wait (for them to build this thing) - but now that it's here, it's become an integral part of the Las Vegas experience, and I'm definitely glad it's here.

Favorite Memory: Four 8's and Near Make 'Em All

The first time I ever played craps here - when I first rolled the dice, it was four consecutive 8's in a row. 

IDK how common that is, but I haven't seen it that often!

Most I ever saw was 5 consecutive 5's in a row at the D (roller was a short Mexican dude with forearm tattoos and a flat brim hat from California) - but I've only ever seen that happen once. And I've seen a lot of dice!

In a different session I bet $25 on the Make "Em All (I literally never do that), roller was this tall older white guy with a "wife or daughter" - tall thin brunette that was like 25 years younger than him... and the guy rolled everything except the 2.

Would have been $3,750 if it would have hit. 

I guess that's how they built the place though right?

We want our cooooowwwwws back!

That's a bonus.

Is this the machine bank I'll win Megabucks on some day?

Stayed tuned for an indeterminate amount of time to find out!

Squid-e-game.

Swiss Cheese. The hot new style in Architecture, apparently.

Favorite Memory: Santa Maria Novella

800 year old perfume shop.

If I ever get rich I'd buy lots of smells from here.

But to do that I'd have to stop spending my money at the casino, lol.

Favorite Memory: Spooky Link Major

Won the Major on this machine, during that Bumble contest I talked about in the "Tabs" section of this website....

I think I've only ever won like 2-3 Majors, and this was one of them.

I knew FB was one of my favorite places!

I liked this game (big fan of Halloween themed slots), so I took a few pictures up front, and then we won!

Ancient cultures believed in the power of mystic totems and enchanted artifacts, in modern days, it's the power of craps chips.

Extra spooky.

Major was like $868, I think we also won an additional $100 separate from the Major too. 

It was a good machine for us!

Have you ever won this Orb on Dragon Link?

Yeah, me neither.

Favorite Memory: Best Hotel Room in Vegas

I love the rooms here, high-end, nice fixtures, huge bathtubs, great toiletries (smells like a "sexy forest" as my wife says), and the pool is easily my favorite in Vegas.

Retro-modern anyone?

She loves house-phones.

When I think of Fontainebleau, I think of water.

This kind of huge bathtub is a rare find in Vegas. In the Mojave Desert.

And have I mentioned the pool yet? Ok few more room pics then we'll get to that!

Hey I've been up there before!

What was that song called, Heaven is a Place on Earth?

Official pool photo from FB's website, isn't she a dish?

I'll take "Restaurants She's Mad in Front Of" for 100 Alex.

Back in the Air Conditioning for some light-gaming.

I'll take "Slot Machines She's Mad in Front Of" for 100 Alex.

I mean the ancient totem worked at the Spooky Link... ya never know!

Our old dog LOVED squirrels.

Like, you don't understand, we lived in the Midwest, and she. loved. squirrels.

I had awesome luck on this game (and the bank of machines where this game was, to the right side when facing the Cashier cage, with the table games behind), think I bonused on like 6 games in the area within just a few minutes.

#hot slots

Sometimes wives have to do their nails at a slot machine. That's just the way things work with these types of things.

We did revisit this machine on a later date, and did a little bit more winning.

They don't have it anymore, so I'm glad I took a picture of it!

A pretty decent slice, actually!

Literally every single customer asked them for Parmesan - and I know this because we sat at the counter and watched every person get their pizza.

The Parmesan is already sprinkled on the pizza, just FYI, every customer there ever. 

Save you the trouble!

What is it called, hair of the dog that bit you? 

Whenever you win on a slot machine - you should always give the casino a chance to get some of their money back. 

Aren't you?

Something something mystic totems, ancient artifacts, etc.

In a world where all the bonuses just give you 8 more spins (when you don't win on any spins anyway) - choice bonuses rule!

There goes that Spooky again.

That's a bonus.
