Siegfried & Roy’s famous Las Vegas mansion has recently been sold for $3 million after being on the market for just a few days – and images showing a look inside prove why.
The duo owned the home for nearly 40 years and it was known as the ‘Jungle Palace’ thanks to its multiple animal enclosures, and white lions and tigers roaming the grounds.
Statues and paintings of big cats still decorate the property in a nod to its past animal inhabitants, including big cats which were said to sleep in the bed with Roy.
The compound – which features on TopTenRealEstateDeals – spans eight acres of grounds and includes several homes on-site and three swimming pools.
Located in north-west Vegas, the compound’s main house covers 8,750 square feet and is marked by striking architecture.
Bold style choices include a black-tiled bathroom with a red tub, a stunning entryway with gilded staircase, stained glass windows and terra cotta tile floors.
A cheetah-themed mural adorns one bedroom, another room features a stunning multi-coloured ceiling, and unique design elements feature throughout.
During the pair’s lifetime, the mansion was also home to a collection of celebrity relics, including Liberace’s cufflinks and Genghis Khan’s sword.
The largest of the property’s other homes is 1,959 square feet, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Two additional homes have their own pools – one guest house is 1,588 square feet while the other measures 1,875 square feet. Both have two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
A massive water fountain and extensive statuary add grandeur to the landscaped grounds, while paved paths connect the various residences.
Six electric gates surround and protect the compound, while a 10-car garage provides plenty of room for visitors.
A bird sanctuary and cat sanctuary combine with numerous animal enclosures, to produce a truly one-of-a-kind property perfect for the circus enthusiast.
The property was sold by Aaron Taylor of eXp Realty.
