Where is Fontainebleau on the List of Largest Vegas Hotels?

Fontainebleau when it opens will have 3,700 or so rooms, right? Where does that place it on the list of the largest hotels in Las Vegas?

Our list is slightually different from the one put out by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. According to the LVCVA's count, Fontainebleau's approximate room count, 3,700 when it opens in December, will show up at number nine.

But they count the Venetian and Palazzo, Wynn and Encore, Mandalay Bay/Delano/Four Seasons, MGM Grand/Signature, etc. as separate properties. We don't. We see them as one, not two or three.

Here's our list:

1. Venetian-Palazzo: 7,089

2. MGM Grand/Signature/Mansion: 6,871

3. Wynn/Encore: 4,751

4. Mandalay Bay/Delano/Four Seasons: 4,726

5. Luxor: 4,411

6. Caesars Palace/Nobu: 4,142

7. Aria: 4,044

8. Excalibur: 3,981

9. Bellagio: 3,933

10. Circus Circus: 3,773

11. Fontainebleau: 3,700

So there you have it. Fontainebleau is big, no doubt about it, with well more than twice the number or rooms of its sister hotel in Miami Beach at 1,504. But in the Hotel Capital of the World, it doesn't even make the top 10.

That's the proper way to count it

I also consider the Golden Commode (160 rooms), the Silver Urinal (77 rooms) and the Litterbox downtown (8 1/2 rooms, unless it floods) to be the same property. The same player's club card (Flush Rewards) can be used at all three properties.

WHERE DO YOU FIND THE WORD slightually?  How is it used.? Aside, Kevin is the Purple Bidet (212 rooms) part of the Flush Rewards program?

slightually

I saw that word for the first and only time in a museum in Eureka, Nevada, reading about the early days of the old mining town. In a yellowed 1880s' newspaper story hanging on the wall, a court reporter wrote the following: "... a certain female slightually pottical went on a rampage" and was fined by the judge who "perorated his remarks with an invitation to pungle up $40." I never adopted pottical (drunk), pungle (pay), or perorate (speak at length), but I was tickled by slightually, imagining the court reporter to be slightually pottical himself, and I use it from to time for my amusement -- and today, apparently, for at least one of yours.

Only 3500 rooms but they are slightually located.
Sunday and Monday are their lowest rates.  I don't think for the purpose of this question, that LVA's top four answers should be lumped together...

Excalibur room count

I had a strange problem with my sink in the Excalibur.  The maintenance worker, as a joke, said I had beat the odds, at it was a 4,200 to 1 shot that I would have the problem, as the Excalibur had 4,200 rooms.  Did he have the wrong room count?

CLIFFORD Sep-02-2023

LVA CORRECT

According to Wickipedia, 3981 rooms.  A lot of rooms isn't it!

Not if he was including the holding cells.

Slightually....

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

                                          --Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass, 1872
