Frank ‘Lefty’ Rosenthal’s Far-Out Vegas Home Lists for $777K
********: Las Vegas, Nevada
Price: $777,000
The former Las Vegas Home of Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, the late Casino exec, mob associate, and FBI informant whose exploits inspired Martin Scorsese’s Casino, is back on the market for a lucky-sounding $777K. Though some things have changed since Lefty’s day, it’s about as groovy a 70s time capsule as you’re likely to find adjacent to the Las Vegas Country Club.
According to listing agent Brian Burns, Lefty spent around $500K having the three-bedroom reconstructed back in the mid-70s, after it was gutted by fire. The interior was done by designer Stephen Chase, who at the time was working for Arthur Elrod out in Palm Springs.
There have been four owners since Lefty (the current ones bought it in 2024 for $615K), all of which have been intent on "keeping the historic integrity of the Home intact," says Burns. Most of the floors have been redone over the years, though, and a second-floor picture window was added in back. The current owners redid the kitchen with a new backsplash and Caesarstone countertops, and outfitted the dwelling with a Savant smart Home system.
The pieces of wall art in the living and dining rooms, which were commissioned by Stephen Chase when he was designing the interior, are including in the sale, as are the semicircular couch and lamp in the living room, the bedrooms sets, and a bunch of Lefty memorabilia. Also included, according to a 2011 article in the Las Vegas Review Journal: "bulletproof doors and picture windows, a hidden gun compartment," and a "suspected" bullet mark chipped from one of the windowpanes.
Ummm…pretty much everything I’d expect. *shrugs*
