RESORTS: Posh Enough For You?
The new Crystal Palace Resort and Casino in Nassau, Bahamas, has just the answer for jackpot winners wondering how to spend their money: sleep it away in the Galactica Suite. For $25,000 a night, guests can slumber in what is billed as the most expensive hotel suite in the world. The six high-tech rooms boast such extravagant features as an aquarium containing a giant stingray, artwork on the walls that can be changed electronically, and heat-detecting switches that turn on lights when a person walks into the room. The 2,500-sq.- ft. silver-and-white suite even comes equipped with a robot named Ursula who acts as a servant.
Managers of the 2,200-room resort, the largest hotel in the Caribbean, do not expect to rent the Galactica Suite every night. They may allow some high- rolling gamblers to stay there for free. Smaller-time players will have to settle for the resort's more conventional rooms, which start at $175 a night.
