Fontainebleau Las Vegas Tier Match Extended!
If you are following the April/May edition of the Las Vegas version of the Status Match Merry Go Round™ you know that the Wynn match ends May 31st and the Fontainebleau match was slated to end June 2nd.
The Fontainebleau match has just been extended to September 2nd, 2024!
However, the status will still expire Dec 31, 2024
Now, if you go June 1 on, there’s no more Wynn Match.
To get Gold status, you’ll need Hard Rock ICON as this is the only status from the Merry Go Round series that matches to Gold.
If you have Caesars Diamond only, that will only get you Silver.
If you have MGM Gold, that is also only Silver, but you should be able to match that to Resorts World Monarch status and then match that to Fontainebleau Gold.
Want to see if you might have another card that gets you Gold? Check the matrix here.
Main Fontainebleau Gold Benefits
You’ll get a $150 dining credit and a $150 spa credit. Both are valid though 2024 and each must be used in one shot – meaning when you ask to use your $150 dining credit, your meal before tax and tip must be $150 or more to use it all.
At the spa, you do not have to be a hotel guest (you did originally but that is no longer a requirement) but note that the credit will not be applied towards the mandatory 20% service charge. This is good to know when selecting your service as only the base cost counts.
In both cases, the tip is yours so assuming 20%, you’re in for a minimum of $30 in each spot. That certainly shouldn’t bother anyone but I like to let you know anyway.
If you stay at Fontainebleau, you will get the $45+tax resort fee waived, get a 2pm late checkout, and get a Suite upgrade as high as a Noble suite based on availability.
I did happen to stay there and enjoyed a Royal Suite upgrade. The room was over 900 square feet and I absolutely loved it.
Fontainebleau Silver
Aside from a $100 dining credit (hey, it’s not nothing!) the Silver benefits aren’t much.
