Fontainebleau Las Vegas Bullied Into Overhauling Nachos After Photo Of Paltry $24 Order Goes Viral

There are plenty of bargains to be found in Las Vegas if you know what you’re doing. However, there are also plenty of ways to get ripped off, which seemed to be the case if you ordered nachos at the Fontainebleau before a picture of the pathetic order went viral.

In December, Las Vegas officially added a new resort to its lineup when the Fontainebleau (a brand that can trace its roots back to the iconic hotel located in Miami Beach) opened for business on the North Side of the Strip close to 20 years after the project was officially announced.

The hotel and casino boasts most of the amenities you’d expect to find in a gambling outpost in Sin City, including a sportsbook where patrons can chow down on food while keeping tabs on the bets they placed.

However, at least one menu item left a bit to be desired based on a photo that was shared by someone who said they waited an hour for what was reportedly a $24 order of nachos only to be presented with a plate that featured a grand total of six tortilla chips covered in cheese flanked by the traditional accouterments.

The picture quickly made the rounds online as a number of other establishments in Las Vegas piled on the Fontainebleau by showing off the decidedly more hearty helpings they offer at a lower price.

It apparently didn’t take the sportsbook very long to realize it needed to change its approach, as someone who stopped by the Fontainebleau to order nachos on Wednesday posted a video of the much more satisfying serving they received (which they said set them back a grand total of $22.76).

I think we can all agree online bullying is generally a bad thing, but this proves there are certain scenarios where it can actually be used for good.
