Oh, snap. Yes, they did!<\/p>\n

Or whatever the kids are saying now. Do people still throw shade? Because that’s what Wynn Las Vegas did with a social media post. The subject? Justin Timberlake. The target? Fontainebleau Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

It was so mean-funny, we almost feel guilty sharing it. Almost.<\/p>\n

We made the arrow fancy, because Wynn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our story begins with triple threat Justin Timberlake being paid an ungodly amount of money (rumored<\/a> to be more than $6 million) for a private show at the opening of Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Dec. 13, 2023.<\/p>\n

His show got mixed reviews, but it’s Justin Timberlake, and party-goers got a free show, so nobody was too mad.<\/p>\n

After his show, Timberlake gathered with other VIPs for a photo op at the craps table. Photos made it appear Timberlake rolled the dice first at Fontainebleau, a longstanding tradition in casino circles, but it was actually Tom Brady. He rolled a nine.<\/p>\n

After the Fontainebleau opening extravaganza (we’re working on our story, there are 34,000 photos to sort through), Timberlake posted a photo in social media. It was very romantic, but a red flag immediately went up because the carpet didn’t match Fontainebleau’s drapes, if you get our drift.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Carrying shoes at the end of a night out is a very Las Vegas thing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our Twitter followers<\/a> are truly eagle-eyed Las Vegas fanatics, so they immediately recognized the carpeting as being from Wynn Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

That suspicion was confirmed by Wynn Las Vegas when the resort shared a similar Instagram photo bearing the caption, “Where everyone ends up.” Wynn even threw in a hashtag (all the kids are doing it): #OnlyatWynn.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Cue the aforementioned, “Oh, snap.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It appears that while Justin Timberlake was paid handsomely for his performance at Fontainebleau, the singer chose Wynn Las Vegas for his hotel accommodations.<\/p>\n

It’s possible Fontainebleau could use some aloe for those burns.<\/p>\n

Glorious drama, indeed. Even more drama required? It now appears Wynn’s post has been deleted. (See update below for more scoop.)<\/p>\n

The relationship between Wynn and Fontainebleau has been a smidge contentious for some time now. As we reported exclusively, Wynn threatened to sue<\/a> Fontainebleau for poaching employees. The matter was settled amicably, so while the lawsuit was drafted, it was never filed.<\/p>\n

Wynn also got prickly when Resorts World was about to open. Wynn felt Resorts World was looking a little too similar to Wynn Las Vegas, so legal action<\/a> ensued. We enjoyed that particular lawsuit because we were mentioned in it, and that means some judge had to look at our blog, which is hilarious.<\/p>\n

Tensions remain high between Wynn and Fontainebleau, and Fontainebleau certainly hopes to snag some players from Wynn Las Vegas as it enters an increasingly competitive market where visitation has flattened.<\/p>\n

If Wynn executives have visited Fontainebleau, they understand there may be reasons for concern, as Fontainebleau is spectacular. Wynn and Encore have held the top spot for high-end luxury hotel-casinos (as well as nightlife) in Las Vegas for some time now. That’s unlikely to change, but it doesn’t mean Fontainebleau isn’t going to upset the apple cart, a term we know hasn’t been used since 1978, but you get the picture.<\/p>\n

Wynn Las Vegas has a history of mixing sassy and classy, in other words going for the jugular while remaining above the fray.<\/p>\n

Back in August, a high roller at Resorts World convinced the resort to show messages<\/a> on its massive video screen disparaging a Wynn employee. We broke the story and asked Wynn for a comment. The response: “We will not dignify the behavior of the guest toward our employee nor Resort’s World’s actions with a comment.”<\/p>\n

That, friends, as Bruce Lee said, is the “art of fighting without fighting.”<\/p>\n

Hopefully, this juicy scoop will tide you over until we can slap together a story about the Fontainebleau grand opening. There’s a lot to share, and none of our photos or videos or words will even remotely approach the sexy majesty of this new Las Vegas casino resort.<\/p>\n

As always, lower your expectations.<\/p>\n

Update (12\/15\/23): A source inside Wynn Resorts says the company’s post was deleted at the request of Justin Timberlake’s people. Timberlake’s Instagram post<\/a> is still live as of this writing.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
