Though they both boast pretty comparable climates, you don’t necessarily have to choose between a Las Vegas or Palm Springs stay if you get the keys for 911 Juarez Avenue. That’s because the Caesars Palace-inspired estate is looking for a new owner—with an asking price of $11.8 million.
Designed by celebrated architects Buff & Hensman in 1972, the home was originally constructed for “Las Vegas Emperor” Jerry Zarowitz, former credit manager for Caesar’s Palace-turned-convicted bookie. (Zarowitz was arrested and later served a 20-month sentence for attempting to bribe the New York Giants in 1946.)
But the allure of Las Vegas was to strong for Zarowitz, who retired to the California desert and commissioned a home that resembled the famous hotel and casino that bares the Caesars name.
Following five years of major restoration and addition, and the sleek modernism is abundant across the 8,000 square feet of living space. The home features five bedrooms and six baths across the main and newly built guest house.
Per the listing, there’s also a media room/office; formal dining room with a custom floating three-sided wine cellar; gourmet kitchen; sunken living room, fully equipped wet bar and a catering kitchen.
Prior to the renovation and new construction, the home last sold for $2.8 million back in 2016, according to records.
Louise Hampton of Berkshire Hathaway holds the listing.
