LAS VEGAS, NV – A 10.5-acre custom estate in Las Vegas featuring a fascinating and lavish medieval-themed Las Vegas mansion has just been listed on the market for $10 million.

Located upon a gated hilltop in Henderson, the startlingly unique, castle-themed 14,756-square-foot luxury residence was originally built in 2006 by Vegas-based magician Lance Burton. He had a long-running and highly-successful magic act, performing over 15,000 shows at the Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino for over 5,000,000 people until retiring in 2010, at which time he moved to his farm in Kentucky.

Later, in 2021, he put the Henderson mansion on the market, eventually selling it for $4 million; now it’s back up for grabs, but this time with a $10 million price tag.

The estate boasts six bedrooms and seven baths, and medieval-styled touches such as battlements and a turret that overlooks the valley and the Las Vegas Strip; however, there is also a clash of styles, with modern floor-to-ceiling windows and asymmetrical rooflines.

1280 Scooter Street, Henderson – $10,000,000.00

The interior is elaborate and highly detailed, featuring a great room with a 30-foot barrel ceiling and intricate decorative items everywhere, such as busts, mounted suits of armor, hallways lined with historical portraits, red velvet draperies, gold leafing, rich paneling and lush carpets, and bronze and marble statues.

In contrast to the almost Victorian-style trappings, there are also a host of high-end, modern amenities as well, such as a chef’s kitchen with a Viking Professional grill and a wine fridge, movie theater, performing stage, two-story library – with a secret door leading to the second floor – gym, office, library, sitting room, and a grotto area with a waterfall and spa.

There’s a sense of drama in the house,” Burton said of the residence in 2021. “The house is very cinematic with a lot of natural light. The living room has an overhead bridge that goes across the room. You walk up a spiral staircase and the bridge takes you to the guest rooms.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – National Hockey League (NHL) star Jonathan Marchessault has listed his Summerlin mansion for sale for $5.2 million after leaving the Las Vegas Golden Knights – a team he has played with for the past seven seasons, during which time the team picked up a Stanley Cup win – for a new big-money deal to play for the Nashville Predators.

After signing up to play for the Predators in July, Marchessault, 33, listed his two-story, five-bedroom, 5,586-square-foot home for sale in August for $5,200,000 after having previously purchased the residence – located in Summerlin’s private, master-planned community of Canyon Fairways – in 2021 for $2,150,000.

The residence was originally constructed in 2003 and features a contemporary design and has undergone numerous remodeling projects. It is part of a homeowners’ association whose fees are $580 per month, and membership includes access to golf courses, basketball courts, parks, playgrounds, and 24-hour a day, seven-day a week security.

The lavish mansion boasts huge glass doors and windows; a kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinets, a pantry, and an island; a primary suite with an entertainment center, reading nook, walk-in closets, and a private balcony overlooking the backyard; and a primary bath with a soaking tub and double-sized shower.

The backyard is large and features many amenities, such as a children’s play area including an in-ground trampoline, a sports court, a fenced pool and spa, and a covered patio with a kitchen, dining area and fireplace.

Marchessault, who originally hails from Cap-Rouge, Quebec, Canada, was selected by the Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, and was later voted the most valuable player when the Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup Finals in 2023, a season that saw him make a career-high of 42 goals. He left the team at the end of the season as a free agent and subsequently signed a five-year, $27.5 million contract with the Nashville Predators on July 1.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has just put his lavish Southern Highlands mansion on the market for nearly $9 million, following his signing with another NFL team, the New Orleans Saints, last year.

Carr’s mansion, which was built in 2020 and boasts seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, was listed this week for $8,990,000. The residence comes in at 9,628 square-feet and is located in a gated community that charges a $72 monthly homeowners association fee.

The home has a sleek, modern design aesthetic, with an open layout, tall ceilings, hardwood flooring, and oversized picture windows. The living room has a modern floating fireplace and a sculptural chandelier, and the kitchen has a seated center island, stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, and a pantry. There is also a stone-walled den and large office on the first floor as well.

52 Olympia Canyon Way, Las Vegas – $8,990,000.00

The mansion also has numerous high-end amenities, including a private balcony attached to the primary suite by a wall of sliding-glass windows, as well as walk-in closet, sitting area, and a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub. There is also a guesthouse, a caretaker’s house, sports court, full gym with a golf simulator, and an eight-car garage.

The spacious backyard features a large lawn, two pools, and a patio area with a built-in outdoor barbecue.

Carr, who joined the Raiders in 2014 when they were still based out of Oakland, California, helped the team reach the playoffs during the 2016 season. However, after his performance was deemed below expectations during the 2022 season, Carr lost his starting job and agreed with Raiders leadership to be released following the conclusion of the season. Then, in March 2023, Carr signed with the New Orleans Saints for a four-year contract worth upwards of $150 million.

LAS VEGAS, NV – A massive, lavish ranch located just south of Las Vegas that was once owned by legendary entertainer Wayne Newton has been listed on the market by Nevada-based Smoketree Group for an eye-popping $31.3 million.

The ranch – situated at 6629 South Pecos Road on a 39.5-acre plot of land – was originally built by the world-famous actor and singer in 1966, and was dubbed “Casa de Shenandoah” during the time that he lived there.

The ranch started out small at first – with just his Southern-style mansion initially located there – but over the years Newton expanded to match the opulence that “Mr. Las Vegas” himself is known for by adding an additional eight homes, a horse stable with 50 stalls, a museum for his collection of 100 cars, a facility for exotic animals, and even a runway for his private jet.

In 2010, a firm called CSD purchased Casa de Shenandoah for $18 million, with plans to change it into a public attraction similar to Elvis Presley’s Graceland, with plans for Newton to continue living there while retaining a portion of the property’s ownership.

However, the star soon entered into a lengthy legal battle with one of his business partners over the Newton Museum project, and when the matter was finally settled in 2018, Casa de Shenandoah was then closed to the public.

Smoketree later purchased the estate for $5.56 million in 2019, only to turn around and list it a year later for $29.9 million. The property failed to sell – even after several reductions to the asking price – and it was later removed from the market in February 2022.

Smoketree re-listed it in 2023 for $28.5 million, eventually pulling it once again when there were no takers; however, with the greatly increased number of sales in the Las Vegas ultra-luxury home market recently, their latest attempt to sell the property may finally be met with more success.

LAS VEGAS, NV – A man so passionate about collecting automobiles that he actually installed 13-foot-wide front doors on his lavish estate so he can roll in and park some of his most cherished rides in his living room – yes, his living room – has listed the Las Vegas residence on the open market for nearly $11 million.

Julius Salerno loves relaxing in the living room of his 11,400-square foot home in Summerlin’s swanky The Ridges master-planned community while looking at many of his prized collector cars – of which he owns 100, including a Bugatti Veyron, Pagani Huayra and Koenigsegg Agera RS – parked right next to him. He’s also fond of displaying his Ducati motorcycle in the space as well, parked right on top of an elevated circular table.

What vehicles he isn’t able to display in his home or elsewhere on his property due to space constraints are stored in a warehouse.

However, Salerno – an attorney and co-founder of Bellami Hair, a wig and hair-extension company – recently made the decision to move to Dubai, and as a result he has decided to list his Vegas home for $10.999 million, having originally purchased it for $4.95 million in 2020.

53 PAINTED FEATHER WAY, LAS VEGAS – $10,995,000.00

The residence – situated upon a half-acre of property – boasts numerous luxury amenities, such as an elevator, movie theater with $600,000 surround-sound system, game room, gym, massage room, two-story office, four-car garage, a Crestron smart-home system, and a 1,660-square-foot swimming pool with a swim-up bar and 20-foot waterfall feature.

The home is surrounded by trees, affording the residence the sense of privacy from the street, and the massive backyard deck offers several fire pits, a kitchen, a gazebo and a putting green.

When asked why he would want to leave such a beautiful home, Salerno noted that he enjoys the lifestyle in Dubai, having visited the United Arab Emirates-based city several times. And while he will be taking a number of his prized cars with him on moving day, a major portion of his collection will remain in the United States, where he still keeps a home in California.

LAS VEGAS, NV – The Western Hotel & Casino, an iconic part of the Las Vegas downtown scene steeped in the rich history of the city, is reportedly up for sale for an undisclosed price.

Originally closing down in 2012, the hotel is one of the many properties in Vegas previously owned by the late Tony Hsieh, who passed away in November 2020 at the age of 46 due to injuries suffered in a Connecticut house fire.

Hsieh – who was worth hundreds of millions of dollars at the time of his death – headed up retail shoe selling giant Zappos before selling it to Amazon in 2009 for over $1 billion; he later retired as CEO in August 2020. He is also credited for having pledged $350 million to the renovation and revitalization of Downtown Las Vegas.

A real estate brokerage firm, Logic Commercial Real Estate, was selected by Hsieh’s estate in May 2023 to sell five of his downtown Las Vegas properties, the Western Hotel & Casino being among them.

Boston Omaha Asset Management – an investment firm owned by Logic’s chairman and co-founder Brendan Keating, who was named its co-managing partner four months before the Hsieh listings were announced – recently purchased several downtown properties from Hsieh’s estate for approximately $24.7 million.

The Western Hotel & Casino, as described by the sales pitch, is a “rare, full city block redevelopment opportunity in Downtown Las Vegas.” The establishment, which is two stories tall and has approximately 49 hotel rooms, charged about $37 a night at the time of its closing. Originally built in 1970, the four-parcel property – which sits upon a 1.3-acre plot of land with 300 feet of frontage on Fremont Street – was mainly known for its cheap slot machines, bingo, and table games.

Hsieh’s Downtown Project had previously purchased the property for $14 million in 2013.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Major League Baseball (MLB) legend Jose Canseco has listed his lavish Las Vegas, Nevada home for sale on the open market for the reported amount of $1.6 million.

Canseco, 59, originally purchased the 5,100-square-foot, five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath residence – located in an affluent, guard-gated master-planned community located a short drive from downtown Las Vegas – in 2021 for $1.1 million, after which he carried out more than $200,000 in renovations and upgrades.

He originally listed the home for sale in September 2023 for $1.7 million; one month later he cut the price by $100,000, and that amount is still what he’s asking despite the property still remaining on the market six months later without any takers.

The home is located in a private cul-de-sac and it’s front and back yards are surrounded by electric fences, something that’s sure to appeal to the security-conscious. It features a Spanish-tile roof, a living room with a marble fireplace and large arched window, a huge kitchen boasting top-of-the-line Wolf appliances, and a formal dining room with a glossy tile floor.

3340 MONTECITO DRIVE, LAS VEGAS – $1,600,000.00

The large bedrooms are luxurious, with the primary suite offering a sitting area and a bathroom with a wraparound marble vanity and glass-enclosed shower.

The house also offers many amenities, including a fitness studio and a backyard with an in-ground pool, a koi pond, a barbecue, and low-maintenance artificial grass. There’s also an attached two-bedroom casita with a full kitchen, living and dining area.

This isn’t the first real estate sale the former pro baseballer has attempted to make in Southern Nevada; in August 2023 he put a car wash he had been running in Vegas up for sale – Jose Canseco’s Showtime Car Wash – although it is currently uncertain if he still remains the owner as of press time.

Canseco played 17 seasons in MLB and is best known for his time with the Oakland Athletics. During his career, he won Rookie of the Year (1986) and the Most Valuable Player award (1988), in addition to being a six-time All-Star. He is a two-time World Series champion with the Oakland Athletics (1989) and the New York Yankees (2000), and in 1988 became the first player in MLB history to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in a single season.

LAS VEGAS, NV – A custom-built home overlooking the famed Las Vegas Strip, described by its listing agent as “breathtaking” and boasting an aviation-themed design and impressive 30-foot ceilings, has been listed on the market for $18.5 million.

Located in Henderson within the MacDonald Highlands master-planned community of Dragon’s Reserve, the home – built by noted luxury developer Blue Heron in 2021 – features over 10,067 square-feet of living space with seven bathrooms.

The listing agent, Natalia Harris of Las Vegas Sotheby’s International Realty, said that the incredible views offered by the elevated property make it a unique find in Southern Nevada.

As you step inside, you instantly feel like you are soaring over Vegas,” she said. “The combination of the 30-foot ceilings, open floor and panoramic Strip, city and mountain views truly make it one of a kind.”

The listing notes that the home is filled with clever technological gadgets that give it a vibe like something out of a James Bond movie; these features include a hand sensor that allows you to access the primary suite with a mere gesture in the air, as well as 23-foot motorized pocket sliding doors.

1526 DRAGON CREST AVENUE, HENDERSON – $18,500,000.00

There are numerous other high-end amenities included with the impressive abode, including a full gym, a well-equipped chef’s kitchen, a spa, and even a 2,000-square-foot infinity pool.

The current owners of the property are both pilots, and have noted that the home was custom-built for them around an aviation-themed design aesthetic; to that end, the residence has numerous angles reminiscent of those you would find within airplanes and hangers, as well as glass walls and tall ceilings. There is also a large garage that houses the sellers’ personal aviation museum.

Despite sales of homes being down overall currently in Vegas, the luxury home market – as well as all-cash sales – are still red hot, and account for the majority of the transactions made in the region this past year.

LAS VEGAS, NV – After changing hands several times in recent years, the former Las Vegas home of comedy legend Jerry Lewis is once again for sale, with the current owner asking $2.5 million.

Lewis had resided in the home – located in Las Vegas’ swanky Scotch 80s neighborhood – for almost 35 years; upon his death in 2017, it initially had difficulty in finding a buyer before eventually being sold to Jane Popple in 2019 for $1.2 million. It was then auctioned off for the sum of $2.5 million, but when the bid fell through, it was listed on the open market for $1.8 million.

Thereafter, the property was sold to Iddo Gavish of Century 21 Gavish Real Estate for approximately $1.4 million. Gavish had spruced up the property before putting up for sale, modernizing the home with several large-scale updates to the landscaping, gates, pool, master bathroom and kitchen due to a need for “rehab and renovation.”

Later, the home – which comes in at 7,230 square-feet and offers an impressive six bedrooms and six bathrooms – was purchased by Blooming Desert LLC in 2021 for $1.4 million. It was then put up for sale for a brief amount of time in 2022 for an asking price of $2.7 million; however, the home was later sold in September 2023 in a foreclosure sale for approximately $2 million to Brumbies Capital, a private lending company.

1701 WALDMAN AVENUE, LAS VEGAS – $2,500,000.00

Nate Strager of Luxury Estates International Is the listing agent for the property, which was put on the market on January 17. The home listing notes that additional renovations were carried out following the foreclosure amounting to approximately $40,000 worth of work, which focused mainly on landscaping and refinishing the pool.

Two sets of sliding glass doors gaze out to an extensively renovated backyard with new turf, mature trees, brick walkways, a gazebo and firepit-ready corner patio,” the listing says.

Other amenities in the house include a large chandelier in the family room, a covered balcony overlooking downtown Las Vegas, and a three-car garage with a small living space that could function as an additional bedroom.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Located within a gated community of Las Vegas’ Summerlin neighborhood, a lavish single-story house hit the market for nearly $2.1 million and quickly sold, signifying how luxury sales in Southern Nevada have remained relatively unaffected by the ongoing inflation and high mortgage interest rates impacting the rest of the country.

Situated within Onyx Point – a gated community at the Cliffs of Summerlin – the home, located at 10020 Terrastone Drive, first listed for $2.075 million and is comprised of 3,490 square feet of living space spread out over four bedrooms, four baths, an office, a three-car garage, and a large backyard.

According to realtor Sarah Gabany, who is representing the seller, the residence was designed with an eye for detail and features numerous amenities and contemporary flourishes, such as 12-foot exposed beam ceilings, porcelain tile with a wooden finish, and several fireplaces.

This single-story home seamlessly combines modern sophistication with natural charm all while being set along Summerlin’s cliff line,” Gabany said. “Situated in an exclusive neighborhood of just 60 homes, it provides a quaint and strong sense of community where neighbors know each other.”

Features include a courtyard with covered entry; an open concept layout with multislider doors that provide a seamless conduit between the indoors and outdoors; a living room with an electric tile fireplace; a chef’s kitchen with a 12.5-foot quartz waterfall island, stainless steel appliances – including a double oven and oversized refrigerator – and white tile backsplash; and a three-car garage with electric vehicle chargers, storage racks, and multiple cabinets.

Meanwhile, the main bathroom offers marble floors, granite countertops, and dual vanities, in addition to a floor-to-ceiling marble tiled shower and soaking tub.

While the furniture is not included in the asking price, interested buyers are able to negotiate to potentially add it to the sale for an additional fee.

The high sale price for this home is yet another example of how the luxury housing market in Las Vegas has defied recent trends; whereas home sales have slowed overall amid the economic turmoil that is gripping the nation, the luxury market in Southern Nevada has not only held steady, but shown signs of continued growth.

The home sold on December 12th, for $2,000,000.

LAS VEGAS, NV – The Gold Spike & Oasis Hotel, a historic property located in downtown Las Vegas and previously owned by late Zappos boss Tony Hsieh, has been listed on the open market by his family, which has engaged the services of brokerage firm Logic Commercial Real Estate to aid in the sale.

According to Logic Commercial Real Estate’s website, the Hsieh family began accepting offers earlier in December, although no asking price has been listed as of yet, and it is as of yet unknown if any offers have been made or accepted on the hotel.

The Gold Spike & Oasis Hotel is comprised of two adjacent properties with a combined 70,861-square-feet in size, situated on 1.5-acre plot of land. The hotel offers a total of 130 rooms split amongst the two buildings, as well as a bar and a nightlife entertainment venue.

The establishment has not been providing gambling to patrons, but it nonetheless still possesses a Nevada gaming license, which has been preserved by the current ownership.

Originally opening its doors for business in 1976 under the name of The Rendezvous, the Gold Spike & Oasis was purchased by Hsieh in 2013 for $22 million.

Hsieh passed away in November 2021 at the age of 46 due to injuries suffered in a Connecticut house fire, reports say.

For two decades, Hsieh – who was worth hundreds of millions of dollars at the time of his death – headed up retail shoe selling giant Zappos before selling it to Amazon in 2009 for over $1 billion; he later retired as CEO in August 2020. He is also credited for having pledged $350 million to the renovation and revitalization of Downtown Las Vegas.

In February 2021, much of the Las Vegas real estate empire amassed by Hsieh was listed on the open market by his family, totaling nearly 100 properties throughout the downtown area.

Recently, Logic Commercial Real Estate was tasked with selling an additional five of Hsieh’s properties, including The Gold Spike & Oasis, The Downtowner Hotel, the John E. Carson office and the building occupied by Nacho Daddy on Fourth Street.

LAS VEGAS, NV – Prado, a new Blue Heron Nexus community nestled within Las Vegas’ Section 10 neighborhood – one of the oldest developments in the Valley – is currently offering multiple plots of land upon which buyers can select a series of luxury, pre-designed, custom-built homes that the company will construct for them.  

However, these homes aren’t cheap, with the starting price point coming in at $1.8 million and the average home selling for $3.5 million. Blue Heron offers four different floor plans to choose from, each with different elevation styles and structural options, ensuring each home will be different. 

The Nexus division of Blue Heron is a new addition to the firm, with the communities they create offering an alternative to designing and custom-building homes. Their Las Vegas community – which opened this past June – sits upon 10 acres and currently has 18 oversized homesites, with over 50 percent of them having already been sold. 

(Nexus) started three years ago. We take all the best Blue Heron architecture and predesign a series of homes. We have five different product lines in 10 Nexus communities,” said Chris Beucler, President of Blue Heron’s Nexus division. “What makes this product so unique is we designed it for infill projects. Prado was an old-school site that got sold to another developer. We purchased it from them. We have 10 acres here that we turned into half-acre homesites.” 

For those who wish to try before they buy, however, Blue Heron currently has an impressive $6.5 million show home listed for sale within Prado that illustrates just what you can really acquire from the company if you have exceedingly deep pockets. 

7388 OLIVE CREEK COURT, LAS VEGAS – $6,500,000.00

The show home – located at 7388 Olive Creek Court on a half-acre plot of land – offers 5,887-square-feet of space and features the unique “Vegas Modern” style architecture exclusive to Prado, and a semi-custom floor plan with four en suite bedrooms, five full and one-half baths, and an attached four-car garage. 

You’re getting the same team designing these homes as you are in an elite home,” Beucler said. “You can look at any of our homes, and it doesn’t look like another home you’d see in the market. It looks like a full custom home.”
