The Fantasy Tower at the Palms got its name for a good reason. Moon nightclub, high atop the 53rd floor, transports visitors into a fanciful space-age themed club with Jetsons-like décor and shiny silver-uniformed cocktail waitresses. The color-changing glass tile floor, lasers and space imagery give the club a futuristic vibe. Moon brings the outdoors inside on warm nights when the roof retracts to offer a clear view of the desert sky and (duh!) the moon. When the roof is closed, the ceiling serves as a massive screen, projecting images of exciting scenes from the club below.

Chateau d Yquem 1784
Most Expensive Wine 

1784 Chateau d’Yquem stands third when it comes to price. It is a Premier Cru Superieur wine from Sauternes region in the southern part of the Bordeaux vineyards that stands for generations. Fetching the highest price of $56,588 and receiving rave reviews worldwide for suppressing the world’s finest wines, Chateau d’ Yquem has long been one of the great wines of Sauternes region.

In the Bordeaux wine official classification of 1855, Chateau d’Yquem was the only sauternes that won prestigious rating, indicating its perceived superiority and exorbitant prices over all other wines of its grade. Meanwhile since 1959, Chateau d’ Yquem is known to have produced a dry white wine, called Ygrec, made from an equal proportion of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

Top 10 Most Expensive Wine in the World
#3 Chateau d Yquem

The wine, itself was acquired by Jacques de Sauvage in 1953. It became the property of the de Lur Saluces family in 1785 when Josephine d Y’quem married Comte Louis Amedee de Lur Saluces. Later in 1999, the LVMH group acquired it. Finally, the present management of the estate is known to be under the control of Pierre Lurton, President of Chateau since 2004.

Chateau’s wine making procedure is tended with the greatest of care and precision. Workers extend a tradition of painstaking work. The great secret of d’Yquem is that the grapes are first picked carefully at the right moment, mainly when their sugar content is best to produce wine. Then they are subjected to fermentation. When, fermentation stops naturally at 13 degrees to 14 degrees of alcohol, its only unconverted sugar leaves behind. Thus, lavish syrupiness neutralized with acidity really works as an additive.
