Hugh Hefner Sky Villa

Nightly Rate: $40.000

If anyone knows how to vacation in Las Vegas, that will be Hugh Hefner. Even though he is known as a homebody he has spent a few nights away from the mansion at the Sky Villa. The suite itself was built to model the original playboy mansion; it also incorporates elements derived from a vintage Playboy magazine article about the ultimate bachelor pad. The suite cost roughly $10 million to build but the high-rollers can rent it for a small $40,000 a night. Everything screams S-E-X-Y at the Sky Villa. The two-story 9,000 square foot Villa includes a glass elevator, a rotating bed set beneath a mirrored ceiling, and a glass wall Jacuzzi that extends out over the hotel and offers amazing Strip views, around-the-clock butler service, massage and spa rooms, work-out room and poker table, fireplace, three bedrooms, and pop-up plasma TVs.
Sorry, Bunnies not included.

LAS VEGAS — The club isn't the most extravagant Playboy venture in Vegas. That distinction belongs to the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa.

Even in a city known for over-the-top luxury, the 9,000-square-foot pad may be beyond the pale. Designed as a high-rise version of the Playboy founder's famed Playboy Mansion, it boasts an indoor waterfall; a round, rotating bed with ceiling mirrors; and a pool cantilevering off the edge of the new Fantasy Tower at the Palms Casino Resort. The two-floor spread cost $10 million to build and includes plasma TVs, a massage room, sauna, exercise room, media room and two bedrooms.

Hefner, of course, stays free. He has never been a big Vegas-goer, but the digs should bring him around more. "They're more comfortable surroundings for me," says Hefner, 80. He says the suite's design is inspired by a once-regular feature in the magazine that conjured up the ideal bachelor pads.

The specifics of the space rise largely from the mind of Palms owner George Maloof, who in 2001 had a 2,900-square-foot suite tricked out as the set for MTV's The Real World. That crib rents at the relative bargain of $7,500 a night.

"Our aim is to create something you've never seen before," he says.

In the Hefner villa, the iconic bunny is everywhere, in the middle of the pool, in the artwork, even facing the Vegas Strip 18 feet high on the side of the building. They're not yet sewn on the suite's bathrobes. "We'll get that on there, of course," Maloof says with a grin. "How could we not?"
