Lonely Planet review

How over the top is the Fontainbleau? Well, when Brian De Palma needed a place to sign off Scarface , he decided this would be a good place for Al Pacino to snort a mountain of coke and slaughter an army of Colombians. Ya gotta be grand to warrant that kind of cinematography, and this iconic 1954 leviathan, another brainchild of Lapidus, is certainly that.

Note the spectacular tromp l'oeil mural on the southern exterior, designed by Richard Hass and painted over an eight-week period by Edwin Abreu, the lagoonlike water park out back and the famous 'stairway to nowhere' in the massive lobby.
