Las Vegas has always loved a little mystery. Behind the neon lights and headline-making shows is a quieter world of guard-gated streets, private clubs, and homes most people never get to see.

Next Tuesday, I’m dropping a brand-new video where I sit down to spill the tea on the most luxurious and exclusive communities in Las Vegas — and I filmed it from one of my favorite hidden gems at Tivoli Village: 7th Avenue Furniture, where you can literally design and build the sofa of your dreams right in the showroom. (Highly recommend it if you love beautiful interiors and custom pieces.)

This is one of those videos you won’t want to miss.

Because we’re talking about where the wealthiest Las Vegas residents actually live — the enclaves that don’t need signs, billboards, or Instagram ads. They just quietly exist behind gates.

The Summit Club – The Pinnacle of Privacy

If there’s a crown jewel of ultra-luxury in Summerlin, this is it.
Built on the highest and final piece of Howard Hughes’ original land, The Summit Club sits at roughly 3,000 feet of elevation with Strip views that feel cinematic at night.

It’s strictly private. No casual drive-throughs. No wandering in.
This is where “new money meets next-level design” — modern desert estates, massive lots, and a members-only lifestyle.

And yes, Hollywood has noticed.

Mark Wahlberg’s recent move and his “Hollywood 2.0” push put The Summit even more firmly on the luxury radar.

The Enclave at Country Club Hills – Vegas’ Original Billionaire Row

Long before ultra-modern glass homes became the thing, there was Country Club Hills.

Tucked inside is The Enclave, a second gate within a gate — often called Vegas’ Billionaire’s Row. Developed in the mid-1990s, these estates sit on multi-acre lots with homes that can reach 30,000 square feet.

This is classic, old-school Vegas power:
Steve Wynn.
The Fertitta family.
David Copperfield.

It’s not flashy. It’s legacy.

Tournament Hills – Golf Meets Guard Gates

Wrapped around TPC Summerlin, Tournament Hills blends high security with classic luxury architecture — Mediterranean, traditional, and modern estates.

It’s one of Summerlin’s earliest luxury enclaves and still one of its most respected.
Quiet. Established. Serious wealth.

The Ridges – Modern Desert Luxury, Evolving Again

The Ridges is where Summerlin leans into contemporary architecture — glass walls, clean lines, infinity-edge pools, and hillside views.

Originally developed in the early 2000s with builders like Christopher Homes and William Lyon (now Taylor Morrison), The Ridges became known for its mix of luxury production homes and true custom estates.

And now comes the next chapter.

The golf course that once operated as a public course has been sold and is transitioning toward a private club model — signaling even more exclusivity and a lifestyle shift that aligns with the most elite communities nationwide.

This isn’t just a neighborhood anymore. It’s becoming a true private enclave.

Ascaya – Carved Into the Mountain

Ascaya feels like architecture dropped into the desert cliffs.

Strictly desert contemporary.
No traditional styles allowed.
Every home designed to belong to the canyon.

This is where bold design meets extreme privacy.

Raiders owner Mark Davis built a home inspired by Allegiant Stadium here — because of course he did.

MacDonald Highlands – Desert Elegance

High above Henderson, MacDonald Highlands blends sophisticated architecture with natural materials and wide-open mountain views.

This community has drawn tech founders, musicians, and ultra-high-net-worth residents who want beauty, security, and space.

Think: understated luxury instead of Vegas flash.

Southern Highlands & Seven Hills – Legacy Luxury

These two communities have long been known for their estate homes and celebrity residents:

Southern Highlands: Shaquille O’Neal, Tyson Fury
Seven Hills: Dean Cain, and formerly Mike Tyson

These are neighborhoods with history — where luxury has lived for decades, not just since yesterday.

Why This Matters

People always ask me:
“Where do the richest people in Las Vegas actually live?”

And the answer is never just one place.
It’s a collection of hidden enclaves, shaped by history, privacy, architecture, and lifestyle.

That’s exactly what I break down in next Tuesday’s video — filmed from the gorgeous 7th Avenue Furniture showroom at Tivoli Village, where I talk luxury communities while surrounded by custom sofas and serious design inspiration.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Where celebrities really live

• What makes one luxury community different from another

• How Summerlin became the epicenter of ultra-wealth

This video is for you.

Vegas Confidential tip:
