Cliff Atkinson, a well-known hospitality leader, has been named president of Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a luxury hotel in the world-famous gambling capital, due to open in 2023.

 

Cliff Atkinson has already taken the helm of Fontainebleau Las Vegas and is building his in-house team to implement the strategy outlined by Fontainebleau Development as the resort is set to debut in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

When we sought to identify a visionary leader for our next-generation luxury resort, Cliff’s knowledge, hands-on approach and experience, combined with the perspective gained from nearly 30 years in the hospitality industry, made him an unequivocal choice for Fontainebleau Las Vegas,” said Jeffrey Soffer, president, CEO and chief executive officer of Fontainebleau Development. “With Cliff at the helm of our team, we move forward with even greater confidence in our vision for the future of the Fontainebleau brand and Las Vegas“.

Atkinson’s experience includes senior vice president of hotel strategy for MGM Resorts International, and general manager roles for the Mandarin Oriental hotel group in Las Vegas and San Francisco, as well as the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City. In 2014, Atkinson was named “Hotelier of the Year” by the Nevada Hotel and Lodging Association.

 

Much of Cliff’s success is due to his ability to build human capital and corporate culture through a combination of business acumen, empathy, confidence and natural charisma,” adds Brett Mufson, president of Fontainebleau Development. “His genuine qualities and accomplishments align perfectly with the Fontainebleau brand, our culture and our commitment to providing first-class service and memorable experiences to our guests.

 

 

What the Fontainebleau brand has achieved in its 50-year history is unparalleled in this industry, and now I have the opportunity to merge the team’s vision with my experience in luxury, lifestyle and service as we seek to reshape the hospitality and gaming experience on the Strip,” Atkinson says. “The Fontainebleau Las Vegas is, without question, the beacon of change for the future of Las Vegas.

 

Opening in 2023

 

Fontainebleau Las Vegas will be a 67-story vertically integrated luxury hotel, gaming, entertainment and meeting destination scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2023. Located at 2777 S. Las Vegas Blvd. adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center expansion, the hotel will feature more than 3,700 uniquely designed hotel rooms, more than 550,000 square feet of convention space, as well as a collection of restaurants and shops, swimming pools, nightlife spaces and high-end spa and wellness offerings.

 

Given its proximity to the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Fontainebleau will focus on that aspect, but it will also have its own casino, making it an attraction in its own right.
