Fontainebleau Las Vegas found itself embroiled in #NachoGate2024 after a photo of a lackluster plate of nachos served at the casino’s sportsbook went viral.
The image depicted a meager six pieces of nachos accompanied by four small condiment dips, sparking widespread internet reaction and prompting local restaurants to share photos of their superior nacho platters.
In response to the social media uproar, Fontainebleau addressed the situation on X by posting an image of their revamped nachos and issuing an apology. They humorously referred to the dish as having gone through an “awkward phase” but asserted that it had now matured.
A casino representative provided a statement emphasizing the casino’s commitment to guest experience and announcing the reintroduction of the improved Adobo Chicken Nachos at The Tavern.
At Fontainebleau Las Vegas, guest experience is of the utmost importance. We heard the feedback, and we are proud to reintroduce the Adobo Chicken Nachos at The Tavern.
While social media users had fun with the update, the incident highlighted the challenges faced by diners amid rising costs and shrinking portion sizes, making it increasingly difficult to feel that dining out offers value for money.
