The most expensive hotel room in the world will set you back a cool $150,000 for the two-night minimum stay — but after a tour by real estate agent and YouTuber Enes Yilmazer, online critics are declaring it’s not worth it.
The Empathy Suite, which encompasses the top two levels of the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, was designed by UK avant-garde artist Damien Hirst.
His artwork alone in the 9,156-square-foot penthouse has been valued between $36 million and $39 million. In the tour, posted in May to Yilmazer’s YouTube channel, he notes the two king bedrooms, private pool and terrace, as well as the stunning view of the Las Vegas Strip through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The one-of-a-kind space — which features a butterfly motif throughout — also comes with a 24-hour butler, game room, private cinema, salt healing room, fitness room and two massage rooms.
Yilmazer starts with the main lounge area of the room, pointing out the floors paved with Venus grey marble and the “longest couch” he’s ever seen. He said you could “easily entertain 40 to 50 people” in this space alone.
“This is a perfect event space or party location…it has amazing views of the strip,” he gushed.
Yilmazer then highlights what he thinks is the “coolest feature” of the expensive suite — the pool, which juts out of the balcony.
