Fontainebleau Las Vegas employees will get access to child care, fertility, gym, and wellness programs, according to a news release.
Fontainebleau is working with child care platform Tootris for a range of options, including full- and part-time care and services during non-standard work hours, in an exclusive deal, the release states. The roughly 6,500 workers will also receive up to $2,700 annually in financial assistance for childcare expenses.
Employees will also have access to Carrot Fertility, a family and fertility planning platform that connects users with specialists in pregnancy, in vitro fertilization, adoption, menopause, and more. Additionally, the benefits extension includes discounted rates for fitness classes through Gympass and other well-being-oriented programming through LifeBalance, the resort said.

“Our members are our most valuable asset, and investing in their health and wellness is paramount to us. We believe that a happy and healthy workforce will enable our members to create the experiences that in turn will enliven and enrich our guests,” Kim Virtuoso, the resort’s SVP of People said.
“Whether we are talking about child care support, family building resources, physical fitness programs, mental health resources, or nutritional guidance and stress management techniques, these offerings are tailored to meet the diverse needs of our workforce, ensuring that they are able to maximize their talents and cultivate a vibrant and productive workplace,” she added.

Some Strip competitors similarly offer benefits that address work-life balance, such as on-site child care at The Venetian. But the inclusion of fertility treatment is novel and not covered by health insurance, Amanda Belarmino, a hospitality professor at UNLV, said.
“As inflation and the cost of living continues to rise, it becomes increasingly hard for there to be a stay-at-home parent or to afford child care,” Belarmino told Las Vegas Review-Journal in an email.
“Childcare benefits are becoming increasingly popular, and indeed they are necessary to be more competitive on the Strip where other operators offer similar benefits. Other potential benefits (to be competitive) could include helping with adoption costs as those who struggle to start a family often find themselves at a financial disadvantage.”
