The Fontainebleau laid off dozens of table game dealers this week.

Mon, 9th Jun, 2025

The Fontainebleau Las Vegas laid off as many as 60 table game dealers. According to multiple reports, most were escorted off the property by security personnel. 

The news came up the day of the butchery by the X page Las Vegas Locally, which even acquired a screenshot of a memo summoning an employee to a mandatory meeting with a Table Games Department leader. 

This has caused a significant counterreaction on social media, with some portraying the process as humiliating and traumatic.

The layoffs followed an earlier report also by Las Vegas Locally, that most of its table game dealers would be demoted to part-time, adding that the affected workers were considering a class-action lawsuit citing discrimination and favoritism.
 
The Fontaine Blues

The Fontainebleau, which opened in December 2023, has faced challenges including underwhelming visitor numbers caused by its location on the anemic north end of the Strip, and competition from more established nearby luxury resorts such as Wynn Las Vegas and the Venetian.
 
In addition to a money-laundering investigation that list, it cannot have helped matters, since it could cost the casino tens of millions in legal fees and fines.
 
We will continue to evaluate our business needs and adjust our hiring strategy accordingly. It is a customary practice in every industry and Fontainebleau Las Vegas continues to have a positive impact in the approximate 6,250 current members it employs as well as the multiple vendors and partners associated with the resort.
