2022? – The Drew Las Vegas

Formerly known as Fontainebleau, The Drew Las Vegas was just revealed as the new name for the blue tinted tower which will be the first JW Marriott hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. Set to open in 2020, now postponed to possibly 2022, The Drew Las Vegas towers more than 60 stories and will feature 4,000 rooms, a casino, and half a million square feet for event and convention space.

The Vegas property has undergone a long road of failed plans and bankrupted projects. The Fontainebleau was designed as a multi-billion-dollar resort however the 2008 recession quickly halted the project.

The tower was purchased in 2010 but was left almost entirely untouched before being sold in fall of 2018. Current plans include a bridge that will connect The Drew to the nearby Las Vegas Convention Center.
