#614 Top 5 Weirdest Homes in Las Vegas: Not ALL Houses Here Look Alike!

The Victorian mansion (house # 3) is my aunt and uncle’s house! They moved to Las Vegas in 1969 when there wasn’t a whole lot down there. My uncle was an architect, and so he designed that house. He modeled it after the Morey mansion in California.

I think Wonderpussy should be nominated forsomekind of award from the tourism board.she exsposes more cool stuff that nobody would ever find around Vegas.

I grew up in LV and have so many stories that most people wouldn't believe . I was invited to a party at Siegfried and Roy's home in the early 1980s. Ah the good old days of Las Vegas.

As a realtor back in the day I sold a house and a track of older homes that backed up to that Sigfried and Roy home. Went out into the backyard and could hear the lions or tigers roaring! What a trip

In 1979, I met one of the owners of Circus Circus. He had a house on the west side over looking the hotel. It was a good sized property, I complimented him on how beautiful his house was and as big as it was it had only 3 bedrooms. Then it dawned on me, he didn't need a lot of bedrooms, he had a hotel not too far away. Concerning that underground mansion, it probably cost a lot of money to build. Being that the Las Vegas area has a lot of calichi (don't know if I spelled that right), under the ground, large bed of conglomerate rock that is very hard to dig or cut through. It's the reason most homes in Las Vegas DO NOT have basements. Another great episode!

I enjoyed this very much! I live in Vegas and never knew I passed by theses notable homes. I always love the abandoned desert content, but this was a nice field trip back to your old stomping grounds. Thanks again!

Back in the day I bought a HUD home just down the street from Seigfried and Roy's place to flip. You could hear the tigers roar at night. Interesting story including a fire and a guy killed in the driveway.

In the late 60s to 1973 I worked two jobs and my second was building houses in Iowa. I really enjoy Sarah's videos and this one had added interest to me for that reason! Thank you Wonderhussy. I watch every video you post!

I love the way your videos are like watching an expository writing come to life!! Excellent storytelling by an adventuresome, eccentric beauty! Great bookending with the "ticky tacky houses" song, perfect way to end our tour! I LOVE you Wonderhussy, you are my spirit animal!!

I grew up about 2 blocks from the underground house. I remember we all watched it being built. Love my town.

I cant tell you how many times I drove right by my house in Vegas, even after living there 12 years. If my Jeep isn't out front well.....

I watch you on TV, so I have to come here thank you and give you the recognition you deserve. Thanks for all your great posts!

I agree. I love older houses. They have history an you can imagine the people that lived there before you.

There’s one more that would absolutely make your list of weird houses. Lonnie Hammargren’s house, it used to have Tourette’s, rocket ships, Old locomotive sticking out above the walls in the backyard which you can see from Sandhill Street.

I've seen pictures of the underground house interior before, but I never got to see the outside until now. My curiosity has finally been satisfied. Thanks, Sarah.

Wow absolutely love this video. Would love to see more of these historic vintage Las Vegas neighborhoods.

Your #3 house on Sunrise Mountain is pretty much in my neighborhood. There are some really nice quiet neighborhoods hidden up here. Most of Summerlin compared to where I live would be a downgrade. Best of all, we have no HOA. A good friend that does live in Summerlin, is like me, a car enthusiast. He gets HOA fines at least once a month. The latest one last week being parking in his own driveway with the garage door open for about 15 minutes. The funniest one, is when it snowed an inch in Feb, 2019, and he got stuck at the bottom of his driveway. He lives in a cul-de-sac, so it was not blocking the road, but he could neither go forward up the driveway or backward back into the street. the HOA fined him for the half hour it was stuck. His 4th car has to be parked 1/4th mile from his house in a specific area otherwise it will get towed. Yes, he regrets buying a house there but is financially stuck. And also yes, his house is so close to his neighbor, that arguments by the neighbor can easily be heard. The ironic thing, is he bought that house for about $100k more than mine back in 2006, but now mine is worth about $75k more than his. :)

Those are some very cool homes. I love historic Las Vegas. Another interesting home with a more contemporary style to do a possible tour of would be the home of the Saudi Royal family in the mandalay bay resort.

There used to be what appeared to be a huge boulder on top of the underground house. It would 'crack open' so the cars can be parked in it (it was the garage). The tree stump which appears near the AC unit in the video was (maybe still is) a chimney.

Liberace also had a house in Sherman Oaks, California
