The Largest Resort on the Las Vegas Strip that NO ONE can Visit
Hey everyone! In this video, we are going to be talking about the largest resort on the Las Vegas Strip that NO ONE can visit, The Fontainebleau. Otherwise known as The Drew, this 63 story casino resort is an Urban Explorers paradise! This Abandoned Place was left to rot after the 2007-2008 subprime mortgage crisis. In this video, we are going to be discussing what happened to this immaculate resort, and why it failed to open after being 70 percent complete.
Very few Urbex Enthusiasts have been able to get video of the inside of this resort. Unfortunately, I am not one of the few who have been able to see the inside of the resort. Fortunately for you though, in this video I have put videos of people exploring this abandoned place! This Abandoned Resort is absolutely amazing on the inside, so make sure to watch THIS video to see what the inside looks like!
If you enjoy this type of videos be sure to let me know down in the comments below! Also, if you have any suggestions for future videos let me know! I will most likely end up making a video on it! If you enjoy Urbex/Urban Exploration Videos, or videos of people exploring abandoned places, be sure to subscribe down below! I film both exploring abandoned places videos, as well as these Urban Exploration Documentary Videos!

Caesar’s Palace, Bellagio, Venetian, New York New York, etc. Sure, some of them may be cheesy, but gosh, now in 2018, if they were to make a cultural or geographically themed resort, it could be done SO WELL. Yet they keep building things like Aria and Mandarin. Again, beautiful no doubt, but they just aren’t special. You can find modern all-glass buildings in every city. Anyone else agree?

@julie.1081 6 лет назад

Parker - I'm going to take a wild guess that you're quite a bit younger than me (I'm 57). I wish you could have seen the old places in their hay day! Like you said, Caesar's Palace, The Desert Inn, Dunes, Sands, The Aladdin, The Landmark & even downtown! Back then, people actually knew each other & treated each other with respect. We'd get off shift at 2-3am & still go out & have a great night, finishing it off with a cheap steak & eggs breakfast. And it was a great steak too! Or, going to the Continental for crab legs or steak & lobster for $9.99. And that was only if you weren't comped! The last time I was in Vegas, it practically broke my heart going down the strip. All the class, nuance & "flavor" of Vegas has been stripped away. The Flamingo even tore down the old bungalows that were part of the original hotel. You would have LOVED the history & feel of the place. My family stayed in them on one trip. They all swore the place was haunted! I'm sure there are videos about them on YT or somewhere online. Check them out. You'll wish they were still there. Secret escape routes & all!

@@julie.1081 There was a rumor that they were considering taking out the fountains to put a shopping mall up since the fountains don't make money. Mgm quickly dismissed it as a rumor however, you have to remember these are the same companies that charge a resort fee and now charge for parking. The charging for parking was also a rumor at first - look what happened. The stopping free drinks was also a rumor and look at whats happening so it wouldn't surprise me that this rumor was purposely out out there as to lesson the blow when they decide that they could make more money off a shopping center where the fountains currently sit.

@hadhamalnam 4 года назад

Man it's crazy to me that that the North strip is considered far from the airport when your airport is literally right next to the strip, I mean how much closer can it get. In most cities airports are miles away from downtown because they need to avoid the high density residential areas and areas with skyscrapers and they look for low land value costs which only happens far away from downtown. Like do people just take a flight all the way to another city just to limit themselves to stay near the airport?

@lvthud 6 лет назад

If I may offer up a little info....The owners of the then Echelon Place (the Boyd group) are very risk adverse, as with the The Fontainebleau, when the economy hit the toilet in 2007 lenders ran for the hills, Boyd rather than forging ahead with Echelon stopped everything, they went into survival mode and weathered the economic slump, coming out of it a lot stronger. The received a "nice" offer for the land from Resort World which they took, part of that money has been invested in other non strip Las Vegas properties and also out of state.....

@joshuauriarte452 6 лет назад

As a local It didnt contenu due to the recession. And boyd Gaming didn't want to hold the property anymore since it had lost 3M worth its value. Not just that they've been struggling for years hence the union stick at a lot of there casinos. Also The Echelon was supposed to be a leased spot my Boyd gaming. Resort world is still under construction and is using the original Echelon skeleton.. Which what ive seen as a local it will be done soon. There push is for the summer of 2020. But it may seem sooner. And for the Drew COnstruction is slow due to having to fix beams and so many other issues due to decaying and not being inclosed. There is also A lot of trash there which needs to be cleaned up and so much more. I went there and climbed to the top and its looks like a empty building with no dry wall and decor. I have seen the New plans for the Drew and its the same as the Fountain Blue. Also Marriott owns the property and will be there Flagship building for the US.

@joshuauriarte452 6 лет назад

Nono Nana it was only handed off once. And that was the Marriott International that bought it. They bought it for something like 20m not much. And that's the 5m for the land and the other 15m for the building its self. If I remember correctly they bought it from the owners of the thunderbird hotel and casino. They bought it for like 1-3m or somthing like that. Th2n that's when the 1.4b project came out. But then was sold off for the 20m. It's going threw a big refurbishment process right now. Taking away all of the graffiette and trash refusing the beams that needs to be done and so on. There bringing in cranes to and it's supposed to be finished by 2020 at most 2021. A lot of locals were happy to see that it got bought out. It's a beautiful building.

@lvthud 6 лет назад

I have no idea where you are getting your info, but it is wrong, Marriott put in $50m to buy a part of the Fontainebleau from Steve Witkoff, basically a way for them to buy a management contract for the hotel. As the video here says, Icahn bought the place for $150m, held on to it for 7 years, sold it for $600m...Not a bad return on investment. As for Boyd, trust me on this, I know a heck of a lot more about the inner workings of Boyd than you do. In 2013 when Boyd sold the site to Genting they had cash flow of $2.9B, do you really think a piece of land losing $3m is going to even cause a blink of an eye.....Especially considering it cost $43m back in 2004.....
