A Look At The Most Luxurious Casino Suites In The World
The standard luxury hotel room in a major casino resort is beautiful, but it represents only the absolute bottom tier of what the property offers.
These ultra-luxurious 'Villas' and 'Mansions' are completely hidden from the public; you cannot book them online, regardless of your credit limit.
The Most Expensive Casino Suite in the World
The undisputed king of extravagant casino accommodations is the Empathy Suite at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
Spanning an incredible 9,000 square feet, the villa includes a cantilevered glass swimming pool that hangs dangerously over the edge of the building.
The suite includes 24-hour dedicated butler service, a private behind-the-scenes art tour, and a chauffeured luxury car for the duration of the stayThe bar in the suite seats 13 people and is fully stocked with the rarest, most expensive liquors available in the entire cityEvery single piece of furniture and fabric was custom-designed by Hirst, featuring his iconic butterfly and pill motifs
The Hidden Mansions of the MGM Grand
If the Empathy Suite represents modern art, The Mansions at the MGM Grand represent classic, old-world European royalty.
In Macau, the epicenter of global high-stakes gambling, the luxury suites focus heavily on absolute privacy and Feng Shui.
