�Marta brings a tremendous amount of experience and creativity to the Fontainebleau executive team,� said Howard Karawan, Chief Operating Officer, Fontainebleau Resorts.  �I�m certain her expertise will be invaluable as we establish the Fontainebleau brand and introduce these two distinctive destination resorts.�

Lautin, a volunteer dog adoption counselor with The Florida Humane Society in Deerfield Beach, graduated from the University of Florida, where she studied advertising and fine art.

Early this year, Fontainebleau Resorts began construction of Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a spectacular 63-story, 3,812-room resort, condo-hotel, casino and entertainment destination on the Las Vegas Strip.  The forerunner of a new generation of world-class resorts, Fontainebleau Las Vegas will bring the Fontainebleau brand to Las Vegas in dramatic fashion, borrowing from Morris Lapidus, the innovative architect who designed the curvilinear Fontainebleau in Miami Beach more than a half-century ago.  Set to open in fall 2009, the 25-acre Fontainebleau Las Vegas will feature a 60,000-square-foot spa, 3,300-seat performing arts theater, several signature restaurants, trendsetting retail boutiques, more than 250,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting space and the world�s largest rooftop pool and club scene with incredible views directly down the Las Vegas Strip.  

A revamped and enlarged Fontainebleau Miami Beach will open in summer 2008.  On 16 acres of oceanfront, the Fontainebleau historically has been regarded as the crown jewel of Miami Beach resorts.  The �new� Fontainebleau will include more than 1,500 luxury guest rooms and suites, a 40,000-square-foot European-style spa, multiple marquee restaurants, a Las Vegas-style nightclub, ultra-lounge, lush poolscape and 150,000 square feet of meeting and convention space.  

Fontainebleau Resorts is led by Executive Chairman Jeffrey Soffer, President and Chief Executive Officer Glenn Schaeffer and Chief Operating Officer Howard Karawan.
