Check out these nine unique rooms in Vegas ranging from 1980s retro to ornate French elegance and everything in between. If you’re looking for the most expensive room in Vegas, you’ve found them.
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 34th 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.
FUN FACT: 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.

FAQs
Can suites and villas be reserved for private events?
A majority of the properties are available, for a price, to book for special events. However, each hotel has its own rules and you should check with them directly for specific rules and regulations. For instance, the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas does not permit large parties in their suites and if you plan to host an event at the Nobu Penthouse you will also be required to occupy connecting rooms.
Do these rooms actually get booked?
Yes and no. Since many of the properties have restrictions on who can actually reserve a room the audience is limited. Even with suites and villas open to the public there is availability. The Jackie Gaughan Suite, as an example, is only booked about once per month.
Are these properties exempt from the exorbitant hotel fees that have become the norm in Las Vegas?
Simply put, no. These are the most decadent rooms in Vegas.
