There will soon be a new kind of casino at Paradise Island’s Atlantis resort.

It’s called Salon Privé, and it will be targeted at the “elite casino customer,” according to the property.

The casino-within-a-casino will include high-limit slot machines, ultra-private gaming rooms and a “modern and chic atmosphere,” the property said in a release.

Salon Privé is located in a secluded portion of the hotel’s casino floor, including a 500-shard Swarovski crystal chandelier and a 16-foot glass aquarium, among other features.

“This new lavish gaming destination that we are offering you is what makes Atlantis the most desirable gaming experience in the world,” the hotel said in a statement.
