    It just seems more artsy than anything to me. Given the opportunity to stay in any suite in Vegas, I'd take the NOBU Villa or a Wynn Villa over it. I'd be shocked is anyone actually has paid $125k/nt to stay in that suite.

    This is the most unappealing suite I have ever seen.

    Stickers on the windows, polkadots on the pillars. That is the tackiest decor I have ever seen. Pathetic.

    I can only imagine they will come to their senses and strip that room within a year.

    I remember when this was called the Playboy Suite! It had the bunny at the bottom of the pool and cost around $35,000 per night on average. I get that you have to adjust for inflation from like 10 years ago, but sheesh! A hundred large?!?

    That prescription pill "artwork" everywhere is tasteless and appalling. Not cool at all.

    I'm sure the six figure price tag exists solely so they can get all the press that comes with a six figure price tag. Nobody will ever pay it, nor do they expect them to. Even the most rarified luxury villas elsewhere in town run less than half that amount, and (to the extent that those villas ever see cash customers) they'll quietly reduce it for genuine inquiries while continuing to quote the headline-grabbing number in the press as long as they can credibly do so.

    Giant dead sharks and biohazardous waste don't make me feel like I'm on vacation. That whole business with empathy for the world and the person you are sleeping with? While betting $100k per hand? I feel a great big "whatever' accompanied by a world class eyeroll coming on.

    Nothing about the design spells luxurious or exquisite. There’s a marked line between artistry and tackiness.
    Empathy? No.

    Nah, but I've stayed at the sympathy suite at the El Cortez. Pack of Camels and a 5th of MD 2020 greets you on a bed with more bugs than the Russian embassy.
