Located on nearly 25 acres adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall, Fontainebleau Las Vegas was first conceived by Fontainebleau Development Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Soffer in 2005. The project stopped construction in 2008 during the Global Financial Crisis. After a few changes of ownership, Soffer acquired back the property in 2021 in partnership with Koch Real Estate Investments.
