Do you ever watch Million-Dollar Listing on Bravo? It’s about the three youngest, most successful Real Estate Agents in California. And it’s not very good, I’m afraid. But I watch every week anyway, just to see the houses they’re selling.
Last week Chad, who looks 18 but insists he is 30, took a client to see the Parisian Palace in Las Vegas.
Well, to be exact, he took a client’s assistant to see it. Can you imagine being so wealthy that you could pay someone to do the house-hunting for you? Even if I could afford it, I’d still want to see everything for myself.
Anyway. This place was wild. You can rent it out for events, so keep the Parisian Palace in mind if you ever get married in Vegas.
Take a look around and see if you could handle this much glitz and glamor!
Wow. That’s a lot, isn’t it? I can only imagine how long it must’ve taken to paint and decorate all that. Do you have a favorite (or least favorite) room? Doesn’t the kitchen seem oddly incongruent with the rest of the place? And how about that bowling alley-slash-nightclub in the basement?
For more information, go to the Parisian Palace website and Million-Dollar Listing.

It’s something out of Citizen Kane!
I cannot imagine living in a place like that.
OMG, who decorated that place? Elvis? I think that even he may have had better taste than this.
As for the RSS feed request, I have to disagree with Problogger (as I believe you do, too). Anyone who is familiar w/RSS feeds and likes your blog is going to do it anyway.
I wonder how much money it would take to redo every single inch of space? Looks like something out of a Rock Hudson and Doris Day movie!
My least favorite was the tiny bath with the side ways tub.
that’s too much house for this simple girl. way too much! but i’d visit it if it were a museum. can’t wait to go to the biltmore house this christmas season!
wow, That house is something. Time to invest in about a 2 gallon bucket of Kilz.The funny thing is, on the surface it looks “grand”, but did you notice how icky the bedroom furniture really looked?
Hahahaha that place cracks me up! It just keeps going and going… At first I thought, Wow! That would be kind of cool to stay there. I began imagining this crazy partying, lavish lifestyle. Then as I continued to scroll I thought, “This is getting *too* weird.”
1st, the carpet looks icky in the bedrooms. Also, the bedrooms are HUGE HUGE HUGE, then the bathrooms are tiny in comparison! How bout saving a little space for the bathrooms! I agree the kitchen looks weird in comparison.
So… yeah…. that was weird.
That place is awful. That pretty much sums it up. lol
I watch Million Dollar Listing. Are you surprised? ha ha Didn’t think so.
) I can’t stand these boys this season. I liked it better last year when they had other agents. That creepy Chad looks like Christy McNichol. And that’s just… creepy.
I faved you on Technorati.
Um…in a word. Ewww.
Thanks, Bermudaonion! Faved you back!
I can’t believe you guys are daring to disagree with ProBlogger. Sure hope he doesn’t get wind of this!
Seriously, don’t worry, I’m not going to do that at the end of every post. I do get questions from people who can’t figure out how to subscribe to me, though, so I thought it might be helpful to explain it now and then.
“Desperate” really wasn’t the look I was going for with this. Ha!
P.S. Why do I get the feeling none of you wants to have a Vegas wedding at the Parisian Palace??
My head is spinning–too much going on there.
Wow, I need my barf bag!
Wow,I don’t think I have seen anything like that before!
In most of those rooms there is just no place for your eyes to rest. I think I would become ADD in a place like that.
I agree with what you said about Million dollar listing – I watch it just to see inside the houses! LOL
Oh gosh, is it just me, or does the floor in the dinning room LIGHT UP.
That’s just wild.
I think living around all those patterns would give me the headache of my life…maybe that’s why all the lights are so dim.
The only word I can think of is disgusting. I really hate it that much. Who decorated it, Liberace?
I couldn’t sleep at night with all those murals looking at me and the gold accents shining in my eyes. WHOA!
Whew…I need to sit down after that tour! I hate to say it but…there isn’t one thing I like about the place! LOL….I watch the show every week too but not sure why? It certainly isn’t for hairstyle tips!!!!! LOL!!!

That is just wrong!!! I didn’t see the show but I can’t imagine anyone wanting to buy this house. Now I am going to have to find a repeat of the show and see it in all its horror. Thanks alot, another half hour of my life I will never get back! haha. MB
What can I say, It’s just too much of everything, I would have a headache looking at all the pattern, and so much gold every where. I could see Donald Trump and his family living here, it’s kinda his style, but not for me.
Ewww. That is the grossest house I’ve ever seen, and my threshold for kitsch value is super-high. I would worry about what ghosts of Vegas debauchery past might be lurking around that horrid palace.
OMG, I’ve been to palaces in Europe that don’t have that much froo froo in them. Seriously. I don’t even think Versailles or Herrenchiemsee are that “adorned.”
That place gives me a headache. Who on earth would want to live with all that? And the first thing I thought when I saw the kitchen was “that just doesn’t go with the rest of the house!” My second thought was “ewwwwww, it’s still hideous though.”
This house is an example of why people hate Americans!
Whoa. Someone went crazy with the murals, didn’t they?! And the stairway with the lights looks like it’s covered in crushed red velvet.
Yeah, seriously, Julia, this post should come with a warning! “May cause seizures” Ugh. All that “stuff” on the ceilings- I don’t care if they’re 12 feet high- they would still make me feel claustrophobic. I need to go eat something to settle my stomach!
I just gouged out my eyes with hot pokers.
Im all for a little bling but this house is beyond aweful. I’d get a migrane just sitting in there!
But isn’t that show a great guilty pleasure? I can’t imagine how any of them make any money with their insane behavior but I guess when it comes to real estate, hustlers make the money
Some one forgot to say WHEN. Yikes that is hideous. The purple velvet booths…I presume they had a lot of lounge acts performing. Only in Vegas.
This place is like being in a “FUN HOUSE” at the fair. It’s ugly, uncomfortable and hideous indeed!!!
Can’t believe anyone could or would live that way!!
Jan
GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWDY! I think I’m going to be sick! lol
And I agree with you…that show is so tacky, but I watch it anyway, too! hahaha Anything houses, right? lol
~melody~
I have a headache. Yikes!
I woould hate to have a hangover in that house!!
Crazy House! I saw that episode. I was wanting to look it up online… and then here it is. Great post!
I don’t think Technorati works… I am linked on many sites and some who are even on Technorati that aren’t showing up. I added you as a favorite anyway even though it stinks. ha!
Hey… where did you find that cool Twitter image? hee. hee.
It looks like a den of iniquity.
All of your comments are cracking. Me. Up. Apparently we don’t have a lot of flashy Vegas types who read this blog. Ha.
Amy, Technorati isn’t working real well for me, either. Something’s up with it. My favorites are still working, at least. I keep hoping they’ll get things fixed over there soon.
Feel free to use that Twitter button on your blog. I can’t remember where I found it, but I thought it was cute. -J
Comment from Janet of Housepeepers (http://housepeepers.blogspot.com) that got lost:
OMG, did Liberace live there?? What is with those chairs in the foyer, looks like they are ready to spear you!! Just when you think you have seen the tackiest house in the world…you come up with this. Good job, Julia, but I will pass.
Janet
Wow … I think my monitor is melting from sheer ugly.
I need migraine medicine after that mess.
It’s not very cozy is it? Even if I were a trillionaire, I couldn’t live in something that glitzy and big.
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I don’t get Bravo on our basic cable service, but during the hurricane the house we evacuated to had it, and I watched a preview of this show (and a recap of Flipping Out!), before the power (and the cable) went out. Bravo has got the best shows!
And, I’d love to lnclude you on my humble blog roll – will you please do the same for moi?
O My goodness-It’s so gody. he he I would love to spend the night
there with a whole bunch of friends though.
I only have one thing to say… and people think MY house is too personal??
rue
OK…this time my retinas definitely dettached.
Blech!!
I can’t believe that somebody actually paid good money for that stuff… and to have all that decorative painting.
Really, I can’t believe that somebody would actually do that to the poor house.
Oh, and the kitchen?? Just look above the chandelier – it looks like the light threw up flowers on the ceiling. Oh, I’m sorry – they’re supposed to be sprouting out of the light… yeah, because flowers like to grow out of light fixtures!
Reading backwards to catch up on blog posts; after this hot mess, Martha’s pink house is looking better.
OMG. I love to see the houses, but can not stand those boys! I live in Pasadena, CA and dream of one day leaving. The men here are horrible (generally speaking). I wish they could have chosen a less obnoxious cast even though successful high profile real estate brokers ARE really like that in real life. It’s not a stretch which is the saddest part of it.
I saw this house on “What’s With That House?” on HGTV. The owner said he hasn’t put his own touch on the kitchen yet. I think his touch leaves a lot to be desired. The owner is a nightclub owner/builder, I think that explains a lot.
ITS A HOUSE ON DRUGS OR THE PERSON WHO BUILT IT WAS ON ACID!
I could not live in this ugly monstrosity! I absolutely detest the black bathroom with the red seat. ewwww
I don’t think even Liberace would have liked this house!!!!
Oh wow. It is gaudy and horrible.
HELLO HOUSE!
WHEN CAN I MOVE IN?
