fountain blue las vegas hotel casino

I noticed that  Fountain Blue Casino in Las Vegas recently updated their website for both the Las Vegas casino resort and the Miami Beach hotel.  There is some new information there (some specific and some not so specific) so it is definately worth checking out.  It looks like its going to be a real hotspot if the casino is anything like the Miami Hotel.  This past weekend the Miami Fountain Blue hotel kicked things off with a Victoria Secrets show and it was an A list of all the young Hollywood stars.

Fountain Blue casino in Miami and Las Vegas

It looks like the owner of the Fontainebleau casino in Las Vegas wouldnt mind getting a casino legalized for their newly renovated Fontainebleau hotel along Miami’s South Beach.

From the Miami Herald:

According to drafts of the petition language obtained by The Miami Herald, the committee is considering three amendments, two of which are designed to appeal to the existing parimutuel companies in Miami-Dade and Broward by asking voters to give them the same games as the Seminole Tribe and lower their tax rate.

A draft of the proposed casino amendment allows for Class III gambling, including craps, keno, roulette, blackjack and slot machines, to be played at any of these sites: existing parimutuels in Miami Dade or Broward, a Miami location that is ”bounded by Northeast 11th Street, Biscayne Boulevard, Northeast Sixth Street and North Miami Avenue,” and at a hotel in Miami Beach that has ”over 800 lodging rooms” when the amendment is passed.

The Fontainebleau, with roughly 1,200 rooms, is the only Miami Beach hotel that would qualify, according to the Miami-Dade tourism bureau.

To become law, the amendments would have to be approved by 60 percent of Florida voters statewide, and the tax-related amendment would need 66 percent approval. In the past, gambling amendments have had a tough time, even before the law was changed to require they reach the 60 percent threshold.

Remember, its Fontainebleau, not Fountain Blue casino!
