...Lived in PP for 12-years in two different homes.<br /><br />Back in the 80's the LV economy was in the dumpster, interest rates were 19% inflation was out of control and houses were not selling. Period. <br /><br />PP was long removed from the glory years back then. <br /><br />Never thought of PP as "Upscale" and couldn't believe it when a friend would come over and say "Ya know Rip Taylor and Phyllis Diller live in this neighborhood."<br /><br />What? Your joking.<br /><br />another friend would come over and say "Hey did you know you Debbie Reynolds lives just down the street? My sister does her hair."<br /><br />Many of the houses were rentals, so famous and infamous residents are not on public record.<br /><br />Some held title in 3rd party names by design.<br /><br />One example is 2172 East Viking.<br /><br />This was once Tony Spilotro's The Hole in the Wall Gang "Clubhouse" up until the party ended. <br /><br />Anyone who has been in the property knows its very unique. At one time the front and side gates were electrified. <br /><br />The house was decorated like a French Bordello. The interior design, rugs, wallpaper, light fixtures, furniture was compliments of the Desert Inn. All diverted from a suite that was never built.<br /><br /><br />Don't know who was on the title from late 70's to early 80's, but lets just say these type of club members didn't want their names on ANYTHING.<br /><br />1575 Seneca Lane was owned by Michael Broadrick owner of the Pegasus Casino and author of the book Vegas, The Mob and the Dead Pig On the Dance Floor. <br /><br />Mike knew a lot of people in Vegas in all walks of life. I was lucky to live behind him on 1556 Ottawa Drive.<br /><br />The movie Cherry 2000 staring Melanie Griffith was partially filmed in Mike's house. Mike built the coolest Party Pad where the interior walls were rounded and it looked like you were in a cave on Mar's. The original Man Cave!<br /><br />The Cherry 2000 movie trailer you can find on a YT search is inside 1575 Seneca Lane. <br />(Starting at 14 seconds- 40 seconds is inside the house.)<br /><br />Good to see new life being pumped back into PP. You did an amazing job building a brand not just a neighborhood. <br /><br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717320444231620490.post-53920505093919785742018-08-10T22:00:15.677-07:002018-08-10T22:00:15.677-07:001556 Ottawa Norbert Aleman Show Producer1556 Ottawa Norbert Aleman Show ProducerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717320444231620490.post-64120907901349040882018-08-10T21:42:35.597-07:002018-08-10T21:42:35.597-07:002300 Mohigan Frank Schivo Club Bingo/Sahara 2300 Mohigan Frank Schivo Club Bingo/Sahara Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717320444231620490.post-87920295219938595622018-08-10T21:38:48.647-07:002018-08-10T21:38:48.647-07:002367 Mohigan Way Stanley Mallin built Caesars an...2367 Mohigan Way Stanley Mallin built Caesars and Circus Circus with Jay SarnoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717320444231620490.post-25849615121289559042018-08-10T21:25:25.823-07:002018-08-10T21:25:25.823-07:003671 Tioga Fred Glusman owner of Piero's Resta...3671 Tioga Fred Glusman owner of Piero's RestaurantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717320444231620490.post-20643652476134747552018-08-10T21:23:43.980-07:002018-08-10T21:23:43.980-07:003650 Tioga Way Comedian and Producer Breck Wall o...3650 Tioga Way Comedian and Producer Breck Wall owned 1974-2009Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717320444231620490.post-58776315217831047522017-12-07T02:41:27.913-08:002017-12-07T02:41:27.913-08:00If 3572 Spencer was Lefty's house then why do ...If 3572 Spencer was Lefty's house then why do they claim his address was 972 Vegas Valley?

Fingers crossed, we will close escrow by 1/9/15. <br /><br />This is the former home of Raymond and Clare Martinez. Mr. Martinez went by the stage name of "Roger Ray" and was a wonderful comedian and xylophonist. There's a great video of him performing on YouTube. Just search "Roger Ray xylophone". <br /><br />Mr. and Mrs. Martinez were the original owners of this home, built in 1969. They lived there until their deaths; his in 2000 and hers in 2009. <br /><br />We are very excited about moving into this great neighborhood and love that there is such a wonderful vibrancy and dedication to preserving the history.

Wanted to add in some info on Paradise Palms and, while browsing your list of famous residents, found Frederic Apcar, producer of the Casino de Paris show at the Dunes. I have a special interest in Mr Apcar as I own his 1963 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. BTW - it's Frederic, not Fredric.
