The 9 Most Expensive Las Vegas Suites on the Strip

When it comes to the suite life, Las Vegas does not disappoint. Check out these six unique spaces ranging from 1980s retro to ornate French elegance and everything in between. One thing is certain;

Palms Casino Resort, Empathy Suite

If “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” were a hotel suite, you just might come up with this one.

The space was previously known as the Hugh Hefner Suite until the $690 million hotel renovation project in 2017 when the space was redesigned by Damien Hirst. The $100,000 a night, high-roller Empathy Suite can be found on the 34^th floor of the Palms Fantasy Tower where it overlooks the Las Vegas Strip. Inside which the best spot to enjoy the view is possibly in the suite’s private pool, which doubles as a balcony.

Why have Damien Hirst design the suite? Owners of The Palms, the Fertitta brothers, had been long-time collectors of his work and wanted art integral to their hotel. The first piece of Hirst’s to debut at The Palms was “The Unknown,” a trio of formaldehyde filled tanks, each with one third of a shark in them hanging above The Unknown Center Bar.

The 9,000-square-foot Palms Empathy Suite is known to be the most expensive one in the world, not just Las Vegas. The design elements by Hirst are complimented by Bentel & Bentel architecture. It features two master bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private pool and more sharks. Yes, sharks.

The suite is made to accommodate four guests but welcomes over 50 for special events.

With a name like Empathy Suite you might imagine a different motif, but Hirst opted to explore death as the suite’s central theme. The sharks mentioned before are part of an installation called “Winner/Loser” and present two bull sharks suspended in a white tank filled with formaldehyde.

The fully-serviced glass bar, which seats 13, is actually another art installation called “Medical Waste” and it’s filled with 100 pounds of medical debris. Floating above the bar? The skeletal remains of a marlin and a taxidermy marlin.

You can find Hirst’s signature pharmacy art on the windows in one of the master bedrooms and a unique pill-laden wallpaper in a bathroom. There is exquisite stonework and glass installations that feature still butterflies throughout. These lifeless winged beings can be found on the floors, the upholstery, the tile work of the pool, and curtains.

Other incredible features include a salt room, gym and massage rooms. To top it off, you have access to the butler next door for your needs 24/7.

Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, Verona Sky Villa

The ornate Verona Sky Villa at the Westgate is the largest suite in the country at 15,400 square feet. The space includes three bedrooms, a garden, outdoor pool and unrivaled luxury. Defined by French elegance, you’ll feel as though you’ve traveled back in time.

Decorative touches include hand-painted 30-foot ceilings, frescos and fabric selections fit for royalty. Sculptures of horses, marble busts and a Bosendorfer grand piano flank the great rooms. And if that isn’t lavish enough for you, there are dozens of crystal chandeliers throughout.

Once you’ve taken in the exquisiteness of the interior, head outside to your private rooftop courtyard where you will find a barbecue, pool and koi pond. The rate to enjoy this massive property once featured on “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” is a massive $40,000 per night.

Guests are welcome to unwind on the 4,700 square foot outdoor terrace complete with a barbecue pit, whirlpool and private Zen Garden.

El Cortez Hotel & Casino, Jackie Gaughan Suite

A stay just off the strip in Downtown Las Vegas doesn’t mean you need to do away with luxury. Book your stay at the off-beat Jackie Gaughan Suite on the 15^th floor of the El Cortez, a property respectfully listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Noted to be the “Finest stay on Fremont” the Jackie Gaughan Suite is 100% vintage Vegas. Starting at $1,000 per night you can enjoy the 2,800 square foot, 1980s outfitted residence.

Who was Jackie Gaughan? Over the course of his life Gaughan owned eight casinos and was considered a Las Vegas Gambling pioneer. He regularly gave back to the Las Vegas community and was named the Clark County Humanitarian of the year in 1987. He gave away free meals and even paid for the funeral expenses for players and employees whose families were in need.

Suite features include a pink color palette, “romper” room, two master bedrooms, four balconies and a wet bar. Fairly recently the space was featured in Ellie’s Goulding’s music video, “On My Mind.”
