    I stayed and played at Fontainebleau for two nights last month (December 2023) -- Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It is now just over three weeks later, and I received my first Fontainebleau gaming offer via email today. As of yesterday, I only had the "public" non-gaming room discount offer for Fontainebleau Rewards members ("License for Extraordinary" -- 30% off on Bleau or Gold rooms) on my account. However, I now have a total of three offers on my account. The additional non-gaming (I think) offer -- "Unlock Opulence" -- is "Enjoy member-exclusive rates from $140 per night with $125 Resort Credit. Two-night minimum stay is required." Good through the end of April 2024, and must book by the end of February 2024.

    I must point out that the email looked eerily similar to the ones that Wynn sends out in terms of the layout. Once again, FB has (maybe had at this point) a decent number of people from Wynn working in their casino operations and casino marketing, so not too much of a surprise.

    One cannot book this gaming offer online. One must call in to book it. Two-night minimum stay to receive the throw-ins.

    During my stay, almost all of my play was on tables and I generated just under $1k of theo over two gaming days. I'd say somewhere around $475 ADT. Thus, I am not surprised that I got no free play of any kind (just like Wynn does) and that the offer does not comp rooms on weekend nights. The lowest I'm seeing Bleau King rooms (base level) at the "Fontainebleau Rate" (the stock room price without any discounts) on weeknights is $250. If FB is indeed so much like Wynn with their operations, it would be fair to count the casino rate as 50% off retail, so $125. (Probably around $150-175 for the better Bleau rooms and any of the Gold rooms.) Weekend nights are definitely going for quite a premium and it is fair to say that my play doesn't rate getting weekend nights comped. When you add in the value of the resort credit, the comp value of the offer on average per day roughly lines up with my ADT if comp value is in the typical range of 30-35% of theo.

    I think this is a fair offer for me based on the action I gave them. Had I done a three-night stay with similar ADT, the resort credit might have been a bit higher. Had I played machines more than tables, I might have free play included as well.

    The offer email from FB had a link to terms and conditions. However, someone forgot to actually put a URL into the link.

    My current Wynn offer is better (and includes most weekend nights comped), but my ADT with Wynn is significantly higher. My current quarterly Venetian offer is somewhat comparable, as it includes free slot/VP play but a smaller food-and-non-alcoholic-beverage credit.

    My current Cosmo gaming offers get a slight overall edge over FB from similar recent ADT because Cosmo's offer comps me on weekend nights. However, FB has a more refreshed room product and offers a decent resort credit (whereas the only throw-in on my Cosmo offer is $25 free play).

    Just about anyone beats my current Caesars offer, though I am a few months away from hitting the 18-month mark of no action with Caesars anywhere. With MGM, it's a photo finish if I leave out the free play MGM provides and only look at the highest-tier MGM properties. MGM does comp me at least something at the top properties on weekends, though. (Actually, everywhere else I have mentioned comps me at least some room type on just about every weekend.)

    Still, I am going to be choosing FB for a gaming-offer stay at some point in 2024. I'm fairly certain it will not be my likely March/April trip.

    Interesting.

    I just got the $125 RC one, with nights at $140/2nt stay + $45/nt resort fee.

    I called and it includes weekends in March.

    1. I registered for the pre-enrollment rewards card a couple of months ago.

    2. I’ve never stepped foot in the property, yet.

    3. With my slot play, I’d be very interested to see FP offers.

    4. Before ever going there, I will contact a host with tier/offers and W/L.

    Seems like many (if not all) who signed up for their rewards program prior to opening received the same email offer.

    I have been on property twice, and ate there, but have yet to play.

    I will call today and look to book 2 nights off the initial offer. Worst case, I can say I gave then a chance, and go back home (Wynncore) or my backups (Resorts World, Palazzo).

    I received the same offer. I also signed up before they opened.
    I did a small amount of slot play there on January 1st. I earned a total of 5,258 tier credits.

    I assume that my play is either:
    not enough to make a difference OR my play isn't being reflected in my offers yet.

    I’m 99% sure you will get something, even if it’s a cheaper casino rate or BOGO.

    I signed up when I went there in person (first week of opening) for two nights. Got the $140 room rates with $125 RC offer.

    Quick update, I now am also getting an offer for 4 comp nights and $200 slot play. It showed up today in the offer section. Pretty happy with that to be honest.

    Well well well, I just rec'd a "License to Play" offer. Up to 4 nights with $100 dining credit per night, and $1,000 slot FP. Offer valid one-time.

    I also got the "Unlock Opulence" $140 room with $125 resort credit. It appears to be an offer available to all members, similar to MGM's 30% off and $75 dining credit offers.

    I did not receive an email for both offers, checked spam folders too.

    I just got an offer too in addition to the others offers everyone seems to have. Only stayed 1 night in December and got like 4k tier credits from gaming. (my hotel spend got added later)

    Enjoy up to four complimentary nights in a Gold King room based on availability.

    Receive $500 Slot Free Credit and $200 Resort Credit when you stay at least three nights.


    Kinda weird that I got more RC than others who got more FP. I think this is why maybe I have a higher night minimum.

    They do need to get being able to book online working in future though...

    The most recent gaming offer "License to Play" starts tomorrow. Maybe we'll be able to book online tomorrow?

    Yea I was referring to the comped/gaming offer, not the discounted offer everyone gets. I guess we'll see if you're right about that, hopefully so.

    I earned 170 tier credits playing video poker for about an hour at the sportsbook bar during CES and received a $200 slot play + 4 nights midweek offer today. I have no idea what that is in terms of coin-in, but I know it was $300 in dollars-in.

    :eek: This is better than some of my MGM offers! Suck it MGM! I look forward to staying there now.
    This offer is based on only two hours of slot play. I don't remember my coin-in but I went there with $1000 and left there $800 up. I earned 5,258 tier credits and spent zero.zero dollars on food and beverage while we were there.
