Ownership and development has changed several times since the project was announced in May 2005. It is a sister property to Fontainebleau Miami Beach, and sits on the 24.5-acre (9.9 ha) site previously occupied by the El Rancho Hotel and Casino and the Algiers Hotel. What I loved about this venue was the sound quality was just as good as any of the indoor venues I’ve been to.The Fontainebleau Las Vegas is a resort and casino under construction on the Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada. The seats were all to the left of the stage, still excellent views and felt quite close. I hate standing for long periods so I am sure that the seats were ultimately the way to go. We had reserved seats which I always get, but the standing room was right in the center of the stage so I kept thinking I wish we would have bought general admission tickets. This may be dependent on the actual event so you will want to check the current schedule.

The venue offers premium seating and general admission, which is standing room only. There are plenty of restrooms and several bars and lines didn’t seem to be much of a problem. If you are staying here you can cool off in the pool during the concert!! The venue is at the far end of the resort pool. However, the concerts are in the evening and once the sun goes down it’s manageable. We happened to see a Lifehouse concert in the summer and it was hot.

Let’s say you are planning a trip to Vegas and you want to see a show or concert. But it’s worth it, it is a beautiful casino with plenty of restaurants and gaming. It will probably take you 15-20 minutes on Las Vegas Blvd to get there, less if you take the freeway. It has a few of my favorite places on the strip! Yep, a casino that is 11 miles away from Mandalay Bay (the southernmost of the big casinos) has some of my favorite places. Living in Vegas has its perks, one of them is that The M Resort and Casino is a quick drive from our house.
