Of the guests who meandered the casino floor and public areas Thursday morning - the first full day the $3.7 billion north Strip property was open to the public - many seemed most surprised with how vast Fontainebleau is and they were all intently capturing it all on video as they walked through. You can only see them by looking up, the same way Strip pedestrians must peer skyward to see the 67th floor of Nevada’s tallest habitable building. Others admired the art pieces, including the 46-foot “Lovers #3” sculpture by Urs Fischer. Some were gazing up at the 42-foot ceilings.
Many of the thousands who made their way to Fontainebleau to take in the ambience of the first Strip megaresort to open in 2½ years found themselves looking up a lot - or at their smartphone screens.
