Newest mega-resort, LIV Beach + LIV Nightclub, Miami DNA on the Strip.
"The December 2023 Fontainebleau opening, the working contemporary Strip anchor of the 2020s."
Why this rank, Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in December 2023 on the north Strip, the working most-significant Las Vegas opening of the 2020s and the first Fontainebleau-branded hotel outside Miami Beach. The property is the long-delayed completion of the Fontainebleau tower (construction began in 2007, the property was completed by Jeffrey Soffer's Fontainebleau Development after the previous developers' bankruptcy). 3,644 rooms and suites; the Royal Suite at 5,200 sq ft, the Presidential Suite, and the multi-bedroom Bowtie Suite are the property's signature accommodations. The dining roster includes LIV Vegas (the LIV-Miami nightclub Vegas outpost), Don's Prime by Don Brewer, Mother Wolf by Evan Funke, Komodo (the Asian-fusion), and the working casual venues. The Strip-north position is alongside Resorts World (Crockfords) and produces the working north-Strip 2020s-opening cluster. Best for the central-Strip Vegas stay at the working contemporary 2023-opening anchor.

"Newest mega-resort, LIV Beach + LIV Nightclub, Miami DNA on the Strip."
Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened in December 2023 after a 16-year construction saga (the property was 80% built in 2008 when the financial crisis stopped construction, and was finally completed in 2023 under new ownership). Three thousand six hundred and forty-four rooms across a single 67-storey tower, the largest single-tower hotel in the world. The asset is the venue affiliation: LIV Las Vegas (the Strip-extension of LIV Miami, the highest-grossing Miami-Beach club) and LIV Beach (the dayclub) are the in-house centerpieces, and the David Grutman group's club operating standard is the same as the Miami original. The Fontainebleau Suite (the multi-room flagship) and the Two-Bedroom Premier Suite (1,200 sqft, the working group-of-six option) are the bachelor-room product. Fontainebleau is the right pick for the bachelor weekend that wants the Miami-Beach club vibe on the Strip, the LIV-Miami DJ programme is replicated on the Strip, the suite product is brand-new, and the property has not yet hit the institutional-fatigue point that older Strip properties show. The North Strip geographic position is the trade-off; the Wynn-Encore-Resorts-World cluster is walkable, the Center Strip is a 15-minute walk.
Fontainebleau Suite (the multi-room flagship) or Two-Bedroom Premier Suite (1,200 sqft, the working group-of-six option).
Book LIV Las Vegas for Saturday at 11pm, the David Grutman group's host-arranged table is the working centerpiece. LIV Beach Friday afternoon for the dayclub. The North Strip walk to Resorts World (Zouk) and Encore (XS) is 8-12 minutes.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Las Vegas for a Bachelor Party list. It scored an aggregate 9.5/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on a bachelor party-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Las Vegas neighbourhood, see North Strip and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces, the ones that earn this rank, are typically the first to sell out.
