High Rollers
Her name was Solange, a rare and exquisite Euro-Asian beauty approximately 31 years of age. Standing around 5'11" tall, Solange weighed about 130 pounds, measured 34D-24-34 with supple breasts and a curvaceous slender body.
She had long, wavy, naturally curly, dark chestnut brown hair, dark brown eyes, tanned skin(olive complexion), full ruby red lips, and a tall, well-toned body with dancer's legs, all traits she inherited from her mother Isabella.
Solange was born in this country when her father, Haruko Okamoto, a first generation Japanese-American met Solange's mother, Isabella Rosalini an American citizen and a rare breathtaking beauty of Mediterranean(Spanish-Italian) descent.
Solange's father was a highly intelligent, very successful businessman, a billionaire many times over and a self-made man who amassed his fortunes the old fashioned way, he earned it through hard work building several successful software businesses from the ground up.
Not only did Solange's father spend time here in the United States building his fortunes, he also spent twelve years in Hong Kong from the time Solange was 4 until she was 16, building a successful company there then selling it for a whopping 3.8 Billion. He then returned to the United States and built several others over the span of the next nine years, with the last one being in Texas.
After he had amassed his fortunes in the software world, he decided to venture into investing in real estate, mainly Casino's. He knew Biloxi was an up and coming gaming market, so he decided to invest in one, purchasing it not for himself, but as a business opportunity for his daughter Solange. By now, Mr. Okamoto was nearly 60 and ready to retire and enjoy his money.
The Casino underwent some moderate to major renovations, some partly due to Katrina, then reopened and renamed "The Jade Emperor's Palace," and was located just off the main casino row, but still highly visible to gaming traffic. Once it was ready to open for business, Mr. Okamoto turned over the reigns to Solange after hosting a Grand Reopening Event. Solange was also left a $1.25 billion dollar fortune by her father as a gift to live on as well.
The Palace, as it will be referred to for the rest of the story, was very elaborate and had an Asian motif to it, which set it apart from the others and actually made it quite popular and very successful, the most successful Casino in the city.
The Palace had one thing setting it apart form the other Casinos. The renovation it underwent, allowed it to have an area that was a carbon copy of the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville.
The Palace had two main areas of hotel rooms. The first area was like all of the other casinos in the area. It was known as "The Imperial Towers," an 11 floor tower of outside rooms(floors 2-12) overlooking the Gulf. This is where about three-fourths of the residents stayed while enjoying the Casino. These rooms went for about $150-$200/night during the week and $250 on the weekend and holidays.
The second area was mainly reserved for the more exclusive clientele what is refereed to in the gaming industry as "High-Rollers." or for corporations who chose to put up their employees or clients in deluxe accommodations. This second area was inside a large enclosed atrium area known as "The Imperial Gardens."
This garden area was like a Japanese Gardens with traditional Japanese statues and plants. There was also a walkway that went through the gardens and the six floors of guestroom rooms looked out over the gardens and each room had a small balcony to sit on.
The first five floors were nice spacious 2 room suites that went for $375/night on weekdays and $425 on weekends. They were nicer than the ones in the tower, but not as nice as the seven spacious rooms located on the sixth floor.
All but two of these rooms on the sixth floor, The Emperor's Palace and the Imperial Gardens which will be described below, were spacious 1,150 square foot suites laid out similar to a medium sized spacious 2-bedroom two bath apartment and meant to be set up for extended stays if the patron so desired. They were named the "The Geisha's Den," which is where Solange lived, "The Shogun Suite," "The Samurai's Hut, "The Jade Palace," and the "Ninja's Lair." These rooms started at $750/night during the week and $825/night on the weekends and the holidays and were all equipped for WiFi capabilities.
The first part of the suite was a spacious living area with a gas insert fireplace with a mantel and a 45 in flat screen television above the mantle. On either side of the mantle was an area that had three levels of shelves.
There was also a seven foot 4-seater sofa with end tables, and a 32 inch light oak circular table with four chairs where you could eat plus a spacious work desk for computer use by patrons. There was also a sliding glass door that led out to the balcony over looking the gardens and the balcony extended to the sleeping area.
The living area also had an attached kitchen. The kitchen was fully equipped with all black appliances, a four burner stove with a built in oven, a black 32 inch dishwasher, and black 20.2 cubit foot Top Freezer Refrigerator. The kitchen also had a good amount of cabinets and counter space, a kitchen sink, two small closet areas.
One closet area was a two foot wide two foot deep closet for pantry storage and the other was a three foot wide and three foot deep closet that housed a small stackable washer and dryer.
The second part of the suite was the grand bedroom suite which was actually the size of two bedrooms in an apartment joined together along with a full sized bath. The bedroom suite extravagant and had lots of storage.
All the furniture was the size of a king-sized bedroom suite. It consisted of a four-posted King-sized bed with a canopy, dresser set with mirror, a wardrobe with three drawers under the area where clothes were hung, and two chest of drawers.
The room also had a spacious walk-in closet measuring 4 feet deep and 8 feet wide where two people could easily hang their clothes. Also, inside the closet were two smaller 3 drawer chests each about 3 feet tall for socks, undergarments, or what ever. Lastly, there was another sliding glass door that went out onto the balcony.
Off from the bedroom area, was the spacious bath suite, the size of a nice sized bathroom you would find in the master suite of a high end home. The bathroom had a stand up tile shower with multiple shower heads and a glass door enclosure.
There was also an oval shaped sunken whirlpool tub large enough for three grown men to sit in. Surrounding the tub was a two foot wide brick enclosure that could be used to sit on or hold soaps or whatever else you chose to put on it. Also on the wall of the tub was a towel large enough for two towels.
The tub also had an in-line heater that kept the water hot while bathing or soaking. The bathroom also had a double vanity with mirrors and hair dryers and lastly there was a two foot wide, two foot deep closet with space for toiletries towels and whatever else you wanted to store.
The two largest of the seven suites, "The Emperor's Palace," which Eddie would stay during the story and after, and its twin the "Imperial Gardens Suite" were laid out very similar, but were more spacious, 1,450 square feet with better amenities, similar to a spacious 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment. They started at $1,000/night.
The primary differences are as follows. First, the kitchen in the living area was a full sized kitchen with a larger amount of cabinet and counter space. It had all stainless steel appliances.
The stove and oven were larger and gas instead of electric. The stove had six burners instead of four, plus a griddle and grill option. The oven part had two ovens side by side. The refrigerator was a 28.2 cubit foot French door fridge with a freezer on the bottom and an ice dispenser in the left door that made small half inch squares and a water dispenser.
The other differences were that the living area was larger. Instead of the normal sofa there was a spacious sectional and another sleeper sofa. There was a full sized laundry room with a fancy front end loading washer and dryer, a folding table with a place for hanging clothes and a place to iron shirts, and a larger walk-in pantry storage area in the kitchen.
The main bedroom and bath were the same and down a small hall there were also two smaller 12'x14' sized bedrooms for other guests. One was a dorm style bedroom that had twin beds and a chess of drawers at the end of each bed and the other had a full sized bed with a dresser.
Each room also had a regular sized closet with sliding doors. Between the two bedrooms was another full sized bathroom with a tub shower combo with sliding glass doors and a nice full sized vanity and a small linen closet.
Now that we have taken a tour of the accommodations of the guest areas in the Atrium, let us explore it's other amenities. There were a number of restaurants, some high end, others casual, coffee shops, and souvenir shops that the general public could patronize and guests could take a ride in a small boat and take a water tour of the atrium and get a history of The Palace and gardens.
Solange had just turned 25 years old and graduated College from Texas A&M University with an an undergrad in Accounting and Finance followed by an M.B.A. when she began running the casino.
She was glad to have been given the opportunity, but she had no real practical experience in running a business, especially one of this scale or magnitude. However, she did inherit her father's intelligence and head for business, so she was a natural from day one.
