flooring blends seamlessly with the black-and-white Venetian plaster walls. Flawless marble and onyx stone elements, beautiful millwork and ceiling detail enhance the sophisticated style. Galleries of timeless monochrome photos of Hollywood’s Golden Era stars and starlets fill the walls with nostalgic glamour.
“This unit has a contemporary, yet sort of throw-back sensibility to it,” Spiegel said. “A golden age of entertainment that harkens back to the Golden Age of Las Vegas.”
The expansive floor plan flows from the living room to the penthouse’s formal dining area to its premier chef ’s kitchen, making entertaining easy. Professional-grade stainless steel appliances, two-tone cabinetry, granite countertops and large island set the backdrop for the incredible kitchen.
A double-door entry leads to the private second-level master suite with a refreshment bar. Within the suite, a custom beryl-wood wall treatment creates a stunning focal point. Fine furnishings from Hurtado of Italy add to the suite’s comfort and elegance.
“This is a very warm, rich master,” Spiegel said. “Rich in detail with beautiful stone and millwork, it has an incredible view with the entire Strip in front of us.”
The spa-like master bath showcases multicolored granite-esque stone walls, soaking tub with a view of the Strip, walk-in shower and dual vanities. Its walk-in closet showcases dark wood built-ins and ample storage.
“It just has a depth and quality to it that you don’t see in condos,” Spiegel said of the suite’s marble stonework and millwork. “Specifically, in Las Vegas.”
One of the guest bedrooms, down the hall from the master, offers a unique wall of glass overlooking the main living area as well as exterior panoramas.
“It’s a spectacular bedroom,” Spiegel said. “Given the fact you have views of the mountains and of the unit itself.”
The guest bath showcases incredible hand-laid onyx walls and shower surround.
The versatile upper-level is designed as a lounge area with a stacked stone linear fireplace, wet bar, bath and private office with dark wood built-ins.
“It’s a multipurpose area,” Spiegel said. “For whatever your particular uses are.”
An exterior rooftop terrace provides an extensive outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and a private “endless pool.”
“It’s a swim-against pool where you swim against a current,” Spiegel said. “Essentially, a pool with a treadmill.”
The unit’s custom-detailed design includes a fully automated Crestron system, motorized window coverings and integrated sound system.
