...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-19134897311257949712021-12-22T19:56:31.770-08:002021-12-22T19:56:31.770-08:00Great job to all the participants!!!!

I knew Buddy was not great with finances. Legend had it he'd do a European tour (I saw him several times here in the UK) get back to the US and instead of keeping money aside for tax, he'd buy a Ferrari.<br /><br />That all sounds great and glamorous, until you realise the suffering for his family and him too. I didn't even know he'd lived in Las Vegas until I saw a video today of him backstage at a 1968 gig over here that was filmed by the BBC. It was out in Suffolk, which he'd been told was 'just outside London', but it's not, it was a four hour drive, the driver got lost and he was pretty furious. <br /><br />We all now he was a fairly straightforward bloke, and he made his unhappiness very clear on that occasion even with TV cameras pointing at him. However, now knowing that back home he was going through divorce AND facing bankruptcy, I am not surprised he was generally a bit cross. <br /><br />Oh yes 'The Maltings' was the venue and there's a YouTube video where he states he lives in Las Vegas. I was so surprised I googled it and saw the very listing from last year (2020) you're talking about here. <br /><br />My immediate thought was: 'what a good job I didn't see that last year, I'd have bought it and moved to Las Vegas'. Now I know it's a place of so much sadness and trauma, I'm glad I didn't.<br /><br />Reakky great and informative piece though, so thanks. I can't believe he lived there when recording the incredible Sammy Davis Sounds Of '66 album at the Sands - all of 10 minute's drive away!<br /><br />AND you have a photo of him and Marie being handed the key! Incredible.
