David Guetta leaving Wynn Las Vegas after more than 10 years for ‘incredible’ residency with Fontainebleau
David Guetta is more than “good” and “feelin’ alright” after signing a residency deal with Sin City’s newest luxury resort, Fontainebleau Las Vegas, and its Miami location as well, Page Six has exclusively learned.
The Grammy-winning DJ’s two-year contract is set to kick off in 2025 with both nighttime performances at Fontainebleau’s LIV and daytime experiences at LIV Beach.
“I’m so grateful to [Fontainebleau CEO] Jeff Soffer for giving me a stage to do what I love for the greatest fans in the world,” Guetta, 56, said via a press release Monday.
“I get excited every time I’m about to perform at LIV in Miami, and now I cannot wait to start a fresh chapter at LIV Las Vegas inside the Strip’s newest luxury resort. It is going to be incredible!”
The “When Love Takes Over” hitmaker’s new residency comes after he spent more than 10 years performing at Fontainebleau competitor Wynn Las Vegas.
In May 2022, on the 10th anniversary of his residency at that luxe hotel, Guetta told Forbes that it was “crazy” to see how much the music scene had expanded in Sin City since he started spinning there.
“It was crazy to see that most billboards were about deejays, because it was really not the case,” he added to the publication.
Page Six reached out to Guetta’s reps for comment on why the “Without You” musician decided to jump ship but did not immediately hear back.
The new contract peculiarly also comes as Fontainebleau and Wynn are embroiled in a lawsuit over alleged employee poaching.
Per the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Wynn’s attorneys claimed that they were trying to prevent Fontainebleau from disrupting existing contracts between its company and its top executives.
However, Fontainebleau attorney Todd Bice argued that Wynn was trying to use the court to intimidate employees and prevent them from seeking better opportunities.
As for Guetta, a source tells Page Six exclusively that the French DJ thought his Fontainebleau deal was desirable because it offered him an opportunity to reach audiences both in Las Vegas and Miami.
“His East coast fans can see him in Miami and his West coast can see him in Vegas,” the insider says. “It’s the perfect combo.”
Hospitality magnate David Grutman, who owns LIV and has a major presence at the Miami establishment as a South Florida native, also raved why the new partnership is an ideal match.
“LIV is known as the stage for the top DJs and performers,” Grutman, 49, explained. “David Guetta’s international reach elevates that stage to new heights.”
Soffer, 56, meanwhile, added, “David [Guetta] is a once-in-a-generation talent who embodies the charisma and class that defines the Fontainebleau brand.
“He’s a natural fit for the luxury lifestyle and vibrant energy of LIV and LIV Beach, and his presence underscores Fontainebleau’s status as a global entertainment destination featuring the artists that audiences want to see.”
He concluded, “If you’re not here, you’re missing an unparalleled experience, and we are so excited to
provide David this exclusive stage at our resorts.”
Fontainebleau Las Vegas opened its doors in December 2023 with a star-studded party attended by the likes of Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump and featured a performance by Justin Timberlake.
Since then, it has been at the forefront of all of Sin City’s hottest parties, including during Super Bowl 2024 weekend back in February.
We’re told Guetta’s official residency dates at both Fontainebleau Las Vegas and Fontainebleau Miami Beach will be announced soon.
