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.

Exploring these hidden penthouses reveals a level of hospitality and excess that defies all logical comprehension.

The Empathy Suite at the Palms, Las Vegas

The undisputed king of extravagant casino accommodations is the Empathy Suite at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

While wealthy tourists occasionally rent it for massive parties, the suite is primarily reserved as a free 'comp' for casino players with a $1 million credit line.

• 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 stay
• The bar in the suite seats 13 people and is fully stocked with the rarest, most expensive liquors available in the entire city
• Every single piece of furniture and fabric was custom-designed by Hirst, featuring his iconic butterfly and pill motifs
