Jack’s Got Your Back
Las Vegas Fontainebleau Slip & Fall Accident Lawyers
But for a new property, “flawless” is often an illusion. New resorts frequently suffer from “operational growing pains,” such as understaffed cleaning crews, untested drainage systems in pool transition zones, and polished stone surfaces that have not yet been worn in to provide traction.
If you have been injured at the Fontainebleau, you are dealing with more than just a slip. You are up against a sophisticated development group that has poured billions into this project and has a risk management team dedicated to protecting that investment.
At Jack Bernstein Injury Lawyers, we have 40+ years of experience helping injury victims in Las Vegas. We understand that “new” does not always mean “safe.” We know how to investigate whether this new resort put aesthetics ahead of your safety, and we fight to ensure you are not treated as just a cost of doing business.

What to do immediately after a fall at Fontainebleau
Because Fontainebleau is a new property, its incident reporting protocols may differ from older, established casinos. Taking the right steps immediately is critical to protecting your claim.
Operational hazards: why falls happen at Fontainebleau
The Fontainebleau’s specific design choices and its status as a new property create unique risks. We focus on these “operational realities” to build your case.
Ultra-Luxury Polished Stone The resort features over 12,000 square meters of natural stone, including “Bianco Covelano” and “Bianco Carrara” marble in high-traffic areas like the lobby and casino entrances. While stunning, these brand-new, high-gloss surfaces often have a lower coefficient of friction than older, worn floors. A single spill or tracked-in moisture from the outdoors can turn these pristine floors into an ice-like surface.
Oasis Pool & LIV Beach Transitions The 6-acre Oasis Pool complex and LIV Beach dayclub generate massive water traffic. Guests moving from these wet zones to the indoor retail Promenade or casino floor create dangerous “transition zones.” If the resort’s drainage systems are not handling the volume, or if staff are not placing mats and “Wet Floor” signs aggressively enough, these areas become immediate slip hazards.
“New Property” Operational Gaps New resorts often face staffing and training challenges. Staff may be unfamiliar with the layout or the specific cleaning protocols for unique materials like the “Breccia Bohemien” stone used in dining areas. We investigate whether the resort had adequate staffing levels to monitor spills during peak hours or if “growing pains” led to a lapse in safety inspections.
What proves Fontainebleau was negligent?
Owning the property where you fell does not automatically make Fontainebleau liable. Under Nevada premises liability law, which comes from Nevada court decisions rather than a single statute, we must prove that the resort failed to use reasonable care and that the failure caused you a loss. In practice that means building out each of the following:
Types of compensation you may recover
A fall at a luxury resort can result in significant financial and personal losses. We fight to recover the full scope of your damages.
Economic damages
- Medical expenses: Coverage for emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and future medical needs.
- Lost wages: Reimbursement for income lost while you are unable to work.
- Travel disruption: If you are visiting from out of state, an injury can mean missed flights, extended hotel stays, and complex travel re-arrangements.
Non-economic damages
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress.
- Loss of enjoyment: Damages for the ruin of your vacation and inability to enjoy daily activities.
Common defenses: the “intoxication” strategy
Like other Las Vegas casinos, Fontainebleau may try to blame the victim by citing alcohol consumption, especially near nightlife venues like LIV. They may argue you fell because you were intoxicated.
However, Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule (NRS 41.141). Even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation as long as your negligence was not greater than the negligence of the defendant, or the combined negligence of the defendants you are suing, with any award reduced in proportion to your share of the fault. The resort has a duty to maintain safe walkways for all guests. If a wet floor caused your fall, the presence of alcohol does not automatically absolve them of liability, though the resort will argue it as part of your share of the fault.

(702) 633-3333 Free consultation · Available 24/7 Or send us the details onlineCan I sue Fontainebleau if I live in another state?
Yes. If the injury occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada law applies. You do not need to stay in Las Vegas to pursue your claim. We handle the investigation, filings, and court appearances locally. We can manage your case remotely via phone, email, and video calls, allowing you to recover at home.
Is the legal process different for a new hotel?
The laws are the same, but the evidence might be different. Newer properties often have state-of-the-art surveillance systems, which can be a huge advantage if secured quickly. However, they may also have less historical data on “problem areas.” We know how to leverage modern discovery techniques to get the digital evidence we need.
What if they offer me a “guest recovery” comp?
Be extremely cautious. “Guest recovery” offers, such as room upgrades or meal comps, are customer service tools. They are not legal settlements. Do not sign any waivers or release forms in exchange for these comps without legal review. You could unintentionally sign away your right to sue for your medical bills.
