A little over a month ago, the Fontainebleau Las Vegas filed for bankruptcy. Now, the $3 billion Vegas casino, hotel and condominium project announced it will cancel a number of meetings and conventions planned there for the first half of 2010.
The cancellations will affect events scheduled from January 1 to June 29. Among those with events planned were the Consumer Electronics Association and the International Council of Shopping Centers.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority has said it will work to accommodate any meetings scheduled for the beginning of next year at Fontainebleau. The fate of meetings set to be held in the latter half of 2010 remains unclear.
"We fully expect Fontainebleau Las Vegas to be completed so that it can accommodate meetings and conventions. The timing of that opening will depend in large part on the timing of renewed financing," Fontainebleau said in a statement on the matter.
According to the Las Vegas Sun, developers say work on the 3,900-room resort, which was previously set to open in October, is about 70 percent complete.
