The problem is the resort is losing $400,000 a day.<\/p>\n<p>Paying exorbitant fees for DJs was a thing at one time, but turned a corner in Las Vegas with the implosion of Kaos at Palms. Not literally, but close.<\/p>\n<p>The revenue generated from DJ residencies has to exceed the cost to make sense. At Kaos, it didn\u2019t pencil out. The pain was so acute, Kaos closed, lawsuits ensued and Station Casinos threw in the towel by selling Palms to the San Manuel tribe.<\/p>\n<p>As Fontainebleau has struggled to get its footing, it\u2019s been up and down for LIV Nightclub and LIV Beach. The resort inherited the design of the nightclub and dayclub (resort construction began in 2007, when dayclubs weren\u2019t even a thing), and some have suggested capacity is playing a part in the challenges facing the resort and nightlife partner, David Grutman and his Groot Hospitality.<\/p>\n<p>Recent bookings at LIV (pronounced \u201cliv,\u201d like Tyler, not \u201clive\u201d) have drawn a crowd that doesn\u2019t always mesh with the \u201ccharisma and class that define the Fontainebleau brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Footage from the Asshat Convention at Fontainebleau. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fnfcGCqnDw\">pic.twitter.com\/fnfcGCqnDw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Vital Vegas (@VitalVegas) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VitalVegas\/status\/1800294245703844322?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 10, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shame on asshat cowards who charisma someone in the head when they\u2019re on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Fontainebleau didn\u2019t share a dollar amount for the Guetta residency, but give us a minute. We\u2019re sure everything will be fine. In spite of the fact David Guetta may not have heard Fontainebleau could be given the boot by its financial backer Koch Real Estate sometime next year when interest payments to financial institutions are due.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, though, things are looking up at Fontainebleau, especially with a well-regarded president, Maurice Wooden (license approval pending), and Fontainebleau\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/fontainebleau-reportedly-removes-obstacle-to-success-peter-arnell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quiet break-up<\/a> with Peter Arnell, the former Chief Brand and Design Officer for Fontainebleau Development.<\/p>\n<p>Arnell has been a major source of internal friction at Fontainebleau, and you\u2019ll remember him from his involvement with \u201cthe <a href=\"https:\/\/cremedemint.com\/blog\/industry\/the-worst-rebrand-in-history-how-to-avoid-tropicanas-famous-failure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">worst rebrand in history<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We continue to root for Fontainebleau, but paying ungodly amounts to superstar DJs seems like an era that\u2019s come and gone. A lot of what\u2019s happening at Fontainebleau seems to lack currency, literally and figuratively.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Anka and Justin Timberlake opened the place, all due respect to Paul Anka. Paul Anka called us the other day. He\u2019s one of the coolest celebrities we\u2019ve ever interacted with, but mentioned if we shared what he said, we\u2019d be whacked. We might be paraphrasing, but we have no reason to disbelieve him.<\/p>\n<p>They paid Justin Timberlake $6 million.<\/p>\n<p>As with high-priced beat-droppers, Timberlake\u2019s fee seems out of whack with the return on investment. Especially when you consider the fact Timberlake stayed at Wynn on Fontainebleau\u2019s opening night. The glorious drama.<\/p>\n<p>The same might be said about R.O.I. for the $3.7 billion Fontainebleau itself. It has a big nut, and the nut\u2019s only going to get bigger in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Which, as you\u2019re no doubt aware, is what she said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/fontainebleau-snags-bigtime-dj-david-guetta\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] By Scott Roeben, on June 18 2024 Fontainebleau has acquired the services of superstar DJ David Guetta for a two-year residency starting in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":233552,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233551"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
