Before we get into Fontainebleau Rewards, let’s get you familiar with the only property where those rewards can be used. Fontainebleau Las Vegas is a 67-story, vertically integrated luxury resort on the north end of the Vegas Strip. After sitting dormant for over a decade, the big blue casino resort finally opened in Dec. 2023.
The massive property has 3,644 hotel rooms and suites, more than 30 restaurants, numerous bars and lounges, 150,000 square feet of gaming space, and more.
The huge casino floor has 1,300 slot machines and 127 table games. The main high-limit room is 18,000 square feet. The six private high-limit gaming rooms are legally open to the public. Additionally, there’s gaming space outside at the Oasis Pooldeck during the summer.
Fontainebleau is an independently operated casino. The rewards program is not connected to other casinos. However, plenty of opportunities exist to use comp rewards and tier benefits inside the casino.
Fontainebleau Rewards changes promotional offers frequently. Check the website to see what’s available when you read this. The casino has offered tier matching for new and old members as well as free play for new members since opening in 2023.
Earning Fontainebleau Rewards Credits And Points
Fontainebleau Rewards has three kinds of points and credits:
- Tier Credits: Players earn these credits from all spending at the property. Tier credits allow players to advance to a higher status with greater benefits in Fontainebleau Rewards.
- Bleau Points – Players collect these points from all spending at the property. These points can be used at eligible Fontainebleau outlets.
- Play Points – These points are only earned when playing machine games. They can be turned into slot play credits.
Guests earn each Tier Credit and Bleau Points at the same rate for most spending at Fontainebleau. Three (3) Tier Credit and Bleau Points are earned for every $1 of rated play on table games, video poker, and slot machines. Similarly, five (5) Tier Credit and Bleau Points are earned from $1 spent at the hotel and resort.
Rated play for Tier Credit and Bleau Points is determined by the average bet, game type, and the length of play for all games.
Table game players only receive Tier Credits. These games do not earn Bleau Points.
Play Points are earned differently. Slot players will earn one (1) Play Point for every $5 of Coin-In. Video poker players earn 1 Play Point for every $10 of Coin-In.
Using Fontainebleau Rewards Credits And Points
Guests can use Bleau and Play points for different experiences at Fontainebleau.
Bleau Points
These points can be used for hotel rooms, restaurants, bars and lounges, LIV nightclub, LIV Beach, Lapis Spa and Wellness, the Fitness Center, and Fontainebleau-owned retail outlets. There’s one caveat – purchases at Lapis Spa and Wellness, the Fitness Center, and retail must be charged to a hotel room. This redemption is only for hotel guests.
Play Points
These points are earned from gambling and can be used to gamble more. Play Points are earned from machine play and are redeemable on most of those machines. The points cannot be used on games with progressive jackpots or electronic table games.
Tier credits are only used to climb to different levels of Fontainebleau Rewards. Each tier has different benefits.
Fontainebleau Rewards Tier Levels
The tier structure of Fontainebleau Rewards is similar to the loyalty programs at most Vegas Strip casinos. There are four tier levels with progressively better benefits.
- Bleau – Entry level for all
- Silver – 7,500 Tier Credits
- Gold – 40,000 Tier Credits
- Royal – 90,000 Tier Credits
While most benefits change at higher levels every member will receive at least 5% in Bleau Points on spending throughout Fontainebleau. Players will earn 3% in Bleau Points on slot play.
All members receive personalized offers and member-only room rates. These may increase based on spending but even the smallest discount is money off full advertised prices.

Fontainebleau Rewards Sweet Spot
Unlike some Las Vegas loyalty programs, each Fontainebleau Rewards tier level offers a significant upgrade from the previous status. The jump from Bleau to Silver is fair. Between the dining credit, complimentary cup of coffee, and parking this tier offers perks with a dollar value.
The sheer number of better benefits when moving from Silver to Gold might be the sweet spot of Fontainebleau Rewards. This level has a larger dining credit, adds a spa credit, and offers complimentary resort fees and parking.
The dining and spa credits are $150 each and are available once a year. Resort fees are $51.02 per day. Self-parking is $20 per day and valet is $35-$40 depending on the day. The dollar value of these discounts can be hundreds of dollars per visit.
Important Dates
All casino rewards programs have reset and expiration dates for benefits, points, and status levels. This information is especially useful for those who don’t visit Las Vegas often and want to maximize their rewards perks.
Unused Bleau Points, Play Points, Dining credits, and Spa credits expire 13 months after their earned date. The points will be removed and cannot be used after this period.
Tier status changes on Jan. 1 and Tier Credits reset to zero. Tier status for the year is based on the previous year’s activity.
The Tier benefits above are valid from the date Tier Status is reached until the last day of December of the following year. It should be noted that tier benefits can change at any time.
