Fontainebleau Las Vegas has reportedly terminated the employment of up to “60” table games dealers, according to local news sources. However, the $3.7 billion resort on the Strip has chosen not to reveal the precise number of positions affected, as noted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

In an official statement, Fontainebleau indicated it is modifying its recruitment approach to align with business demands, describing this adjustment as a standard practice in all sectors. The resort assured stakeholders that it continues to employ around 6,250 individuals and collaborates with several vendors and partners.

The layoffs occur in the context of a wider downturn in demand for casinos in Las Vegas. Several properties along the Strip, including Resorts World, The Venetian, and various establishments operated by MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment, have recently reduced their operations or reorganized their workforce in response to changes in visitor patterns and consumer spending behaviors.

Gaming revenues on the Strip have seen a year-over-year decline for three consecutive months (from February to April), with an overall decline of 3% through ten months of the state’s fiscal year.

Since its opening in December 2023, Fontainebleau has faced challenges including executive resignations and an investigation into possible anti-money laundering infractions. The resort has reportedly struggled to create a comprehensive player database necessary to support one of the largest gaming operations on the Strip.

Last week, Fontainebleau President Maurice Wooden was issued a two-year gaming license despite ongoing investigations concerning the resort’s credit practices potentially violating federal regulations.
