Fontainebleau Las Vegas has been open for roughly a month, and it\u2019s already making an ominous habit of losing high-ranking executives.<\/p>\n

The new Strip venue confirmed Tuesday that Vice President of Revenue Management Angie Dobney is no longer with the resort. She becomes the fourth high-level staffer<\/a> to depart Fontainebleau since it opened, and the third to leave just this month.<\/p>\n

\n

The UNLV graduate\u2019s LinkedIn profile confirms that her last day with Fontainebleau Las Vegas was sometime this month. She joined the property in June 2022. Dobney is also the founder of Rise Up Revenue Optimization, which is listed on LinkedIn as her current role, which she\u2019s held since April 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Strategic consulting for hospitality and gaming customers. Business assessment services. Hotel opening services. Outsourcing revenue management, strategic marketing, distribution, and call center operations\u201d is how Rise Up is described on the professional networking site.<\/p>\n

Fontainebleau Las Vegas Attrition<\/h2>\n

Before joining Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Dobney held various technology-related roles at companies servicing the gaming industry and at casino operators. Her LinkedIn profile indicates she worked for Station Casinos<\/a> for 19 months and the old Hard Rock Las Vegas for more than six years.<\/p>\n

Calling attention to potential operational issues at the new Strip integrated resorts, Dobney joined now former Chief Operating Officer (COO) Colleen Birch and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Shane Smith in leaving the venue this month.<\/p>\n

\n

Before the departures of Birch and Smith, VP of Casino Operations Michael Clifford called it quits on December 30. Dobney was the longest-serving Fountainebleu staffer of that quartet, though that\u2019s not saying much because of the other three. Birch was the longest-tenured at about 14 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The departures of all four have been confirmed. But none of the executives have publicly commented why they left the casino hotel.<\/p>\n

Struggles Underscore Competition<\/h2>\n

The $3.7 billion Fontainebleau is the newest addition to the Las Vegas Strip, and its executive upheaval underscores the intensity of competition in the U.S. gaming hub. While the property is in its infancy and the jury is still out on its long-term success, it thus far has struggled to attract the high-end clientele owners were hoping for.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s essential because the venue\u2019s hotel rooms typically run around $250 per night<\/a> at the low end. Its restaurants, which have received rave reviews, are pricy, and table game minimums start at $25 a hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some visitors have commented that Fontainebleau appears to be attempting to attract avid bettors but isn\u2019t doing enough because pay tables on slots are low, and rewards and comps for play are supposedly skimpy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
