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.

Inside the $100,000-a-Night Empathy Suite

Designed entirely by the famous contemporary artist Damien Hirst, this two-story sky villa is a massive, livable art installation.

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 a private, glass-enclosed massage room overlooking the glittering lights of the Las Vegas Strip
• Security for these top-tier suites is absolute; entire floors are locked off, requiring specialized elevator keys and private guards
• The sheer scale of the suite is designed to psychologically overwhelm the guest, reinforcing the massive wealth and power of the casino brand

Macau's Ultra-Exclusive High Roller Villas

If the Empathy Suite represents modern art, The Mansions at the MGM Grand represent classic, old-world European royalty.

The Paiza Mansions at the Venetian Macao are massive, multi-bedroom estates featuring private massage rooms and dedicated, in-suite baccarat tables.

These ultra-luxurious suites are a fascinating testament to the incredible amount of money generated by the high-stakes gambling industry.
