If you ever wondered how much it costs to live the life of a poker high roller, then look no further – Hustler Casino Live’s Wesley “Wes Side” Fei revealing his $400,000 per night suite of rooms at Caesars Palace.
With four huge bedrooms, a full-sized kitchen and dining room, as well an aquarium, a grand piano, and a pool table room, the normal cost would have been $40k per night.
Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix increases prices tenfold!
However, the Formula 1 Grand Prix was in town, enough to 10x the price.
Not that it cost the crypto-rich HCL poker reg a dime, of course, his notorious highstakes gambling seeing him comped for the 46th-floor villa that boasts views of the Bellagio fountains.
It was also the perfect spot to watch the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Fei boasting a vantage point high above the street circuit that would see Max Verstappen, the three-time World Champion.
With Fei swapping his time between the highstakes baccarat tables and his luxury suite, he revealed there was a secret elevator to make life easier, and safer.
He explained: “It’s a special elevator. Only she can do it,” pointing out the security guard. Oh, and lest we forget, Fei has his own private butler on hand to take care of his every need, such as changing the TV channel.
For Fei it’s just a normal way of life nowadays, the money secondary to the rush, as in his infamous monster bluff against Tom Dwan that saw him lose the biggest-ever televised pot.
Playing in HCL’s Million Dollar Game, at stakes of $500/$1,000 with a $3,000 big blind ante, Wesley – who has played poker for less than two years – found himself triple-barrelling with air.
Dwan didn’t become a legend for nothing, however, and eventually sniffed out and called Wesley’s bluff in a $3.1million pot!

The lifestyles of the rich and famous of the poker world have always attracted attention, for obvious reasons.
Phil Hellmuth, who lives in California, moves into a suite at the Aria whenever he is in Vegas, and as long as it’s a “16” room, he’s happy.
A corner suite there will only cost a fraction of Wesley’s Caesar’s Palace joint, anywhere form $500-$1000 per night, so Phil can easily afford it.
For poker pro and Jean-Robert Bellande, aka BrokeLivingJRB and doyen of the highstakes cash game scene, the exclusive Mandarin Oriental Residences, now a Waldorf Astoria hotel, are for choice.
A three-bed condo there will set you back $10million though, so you’d best be either very good, or very lucky at the tables.
Oh, and there’s no casino, so you’d best add a cab fare to the poker room! Or better still, do as Wesley and get yourself comped.
