Las Vegas is getting a shiny, towering new hotel when the highly anticipated Fontainebleau Las Vegas — a project years in the making — finally opens its doors Dec. 13. And with it comes an all-new loyalty program for people looking to play or stay at the new 67-floor resort on the north end of the Strip.
Called Fontainebleau Rewards, the inclusive, tiered program allows members to "earn exclusive benefits and a passport to limitless luxury during every visit," according to Fontainebleau, through gameplay in the casino as well as on money spent throughout the rest of the property.
"Fontainebleau Rewards is truly one-of-a-kind in that every member has an opportunity to curate their own Fontainebleau experience and unlock special loyalty benefits," Mark Tricano, president of Fontainebleau Las Vegas, exclusively told TPG. "Not only do they have the power of expanded choice, but they've been granted an exclusive passport into the limitless luxury that awaits inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas."

The new loyalty program has four different levels. Travelers who sign up are instantly granted Bleau status, which comes with perks like members-only room rates, personalized offers and invitations, and access to BleauLive entertainment presales. From there, members who work their way up the elite status ladder can earn even more benefits.
Once you've earned 7,500 tier credits in a calendar year, you'll reach Silver status in the program. This confers a variety of perks, including:
