- 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.
