The Fontainebleau is receiving new life and a new name.

The property's new owner announced work will soon resume on what is now known as The Drew Las Vegas.

It's the latest project to announce some progress after a quiet decade on the north end of the Strip. For nearly a decade, the Fontainebleau has been frozen in time. Now, the project is being resurrected under a new timetable.

The Fontainebleau will soon fly the Marriott flag.

Work will soon resume on the second tallest building in the state, second only to the Stratosphere.

"I'm excited to come out when it's done and see what everything is," said Todd Kinley, visiting from Ohio.

The outdoor mall is located near Sunset Road and Las Vegas Boulevard.

The project is still in the early stages of planning. While it appears that Town Square has the space to build two small hotels, one major hurdle must be cleared before moving forward with the proposal.

The owners of Town Square, TH Real Estate and Fairbourne Partners, want to build two boutique hotels on the northwest end of the property.

"I think it's a creative concept," said Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak.

The proposal was first presented to Sisolak about two months ago. The idea is to keep the hotels small. Combined, both hotels would have about 200 rooms.
