The casino is somewhat sterile in that they don’t offer any decent video poker games with reasonable pay tables; nor do they offer any 3:2 blackjack games with reasonable minimums. We likely shouldn’t expect those conditions from a sparkling new luxury Strip resort in Vegas.

There’s been some movement from the casino in recent months, however. Someone or some group upstairs in management realized that early on post-opening, there wasn’t much demand and few gamblers in their casino. We visited in Feb 2024 and gambled for two half days with a low to moderate amount of coin-in. Their casino marketing sent us a 4-night comped room offer with $300 free play attached; we booked and stayed on that offer during the first week of May 2024. In addition, they instituted a tier match upgrade promo that has now been extended through September 2024. They’ve at least drummed up some small incentives through these described offers in order to draw some foot traffic/ customer base.

This place is immaculate and the service we obtained during our May comped stay was excellent; one can’t really visit this place and not be impressed by the surroundings..it’s a foofy, luxurious, and expensive new resort. Even those types of locales need butts in seats to compete; we’ll see how they progress after removal of what appears to be a problem source.

We visited FB initially in Feb. 2024. We gambled there with a low / moderate amount of coin-in for roughly two half-days at the time. At a later point they sent us a 4-night comped room + free play offer; we booked it and stayed there in early May 2024. Additionally, the company began a tier match program that they recently extended until Sept. 2024. There is evidence that the casino management is at least making some moves to attract foot traffic / get butts in seats, perhaps realizing that no matter how immaculate or luxuriously presented a resort might be you still gotta have customers.

Our stay there was without flaw with excellent service while surrounded by luxury at every turn. The casino itself is somewhat sterile in that there are limited video poker ( with poor pay tables) and 3:2 blackjack minimums are exorbitant. Despite the tradeoffs, our stay there was enjoyable due to the comped room offer. We’d stay there again if those comped rooms show up again. In some ways, they’re now at least attempting to incentivize gamblers as described. We’ll see..wish them well.

Lets face it…… Everything on Las Vegas Boulevard north of Circus Circus is struggling. The foot traffic is limited at best. Very close to naked city and lower end motels etc. I don’t believe anyone or anything will help this end of the strip.

This was pretty predictable. Dave Grutman has zero experience in real world outside of his Miami bubble. Same goes for the other people on this casino. Ego clowns

Joe is 100% correct – the place is huge and visually captivating, and very, very void of people. The feeling I got was that the FB was a modern-day interpretation of the elegant European gaming salons of the 1950’s, as described by Ian Fleming in the James Bond novels. Only the most upper of the upper-crust were granted admittance, and everyone was in formal evening wear. That may still be possible in Monaco, but won’t cut it on the northern end of the Strip. FWIW, I thought the discontinued “paperclip” was sleek and stylish.

At least it’ll be a little more interesting what they have now

Here’s the problem with FB, everything. It may be salvageable, but the clock is ticking and accountants are ready to jump out windows. Unfortunately I don’t think the arrogant know it all boss is going to concede he’s wrong about everything. eventually you’ll read about how he went down with the ship and how the cold hearted new owners will not be reading any eulogy. perhaps even the mention of FB is punishable by firing(squad).

But I get the impression that it is specifically built for the convention crowd. Once they have established themselves as the spot for mega conventions maybe things will change. Yea, their advertising is nonsensical to regular people.
